Excerpt from An Ethical Symposium Being a Series of Papers Concerning, Medical Ethics and Etiquette From the Liberal Standpoint The Object of this little book, therefore, is to place before the reader, the motives which in duced a large niimber Of the medical men Of the State Of New York, to dissent from some Of the rules, Which have hitherto controlled and guided them in their intercourse with them selves and the public. The action Of the Medical Society of the State Of New York, in modifying its code Of ethics, has led to warm discussion and criticism; some Of it has been unfavorable, because the critics have not always been in a fair position to judge Of the reasons why the change was desirable. That it was desirable there is no doubt, and the State Society SO decided after a long and careful con sideration Of the circumstances of the case.
