VEPICAL ETHICS
Adopted by the Central Medical Society of Geor
gia, at their session in MilUtlifeville, 1823
’I He Committer appointed by the " Central
Medical Society of Georgia,” at its last annual
meeting in Urremher, to prepare a Code of
Medical Ethics, deeply imptetsed with the Un-
pqjtance and necessity of the undertaking, beg
leave tu ranku the following brief
RETORT:
_ The degraded condition of the Medical profes
sion, not only in Georgia, hut alio in many other
parts of our country, has long been a mutter of
deep regret to many of its most enlightened and
honorable members; and although much of the
lime and talents of some of our mint respectable
brethren have been occupied in endeavoring to
elevate its standard and dignify its character,
it is much to be lamented, tlmt they have not
been more successful in their laudable attempts.
To enumerate all the causes which have re
tarded the progress of medicine, and added to
•is degradation, would transcend the limits to
which the Committee are necessarily obliged to
confute themselves on the present occasion—
yet they cannot avoid taking 1 n cursory glance
at a lew of the more prominent. They shall
therefore make a few remarks, >11 the following
onlet:
1st. On the admission of members into the
profession totally unqualified, from wnnt of edu
cation, intellectual capacity, 01 moral rectitude.
2dly. The countenancing of empiricism, by
prescribing and recommending those offsprings
ot fraud anil ignorance, commonly called nos
trums, or patent qunck-nieilicines
3<lly. The dishonorable measures usually re
sorted to by a certain class of medical practiti
oners, to privately detract from the reputation
of their better infointed brethren, by throwing
out illiberal, ungeiitlcnmnly, nnd unprofessional
insinuations to persons w ho are not capable of
^ppieclktiug medical merit.
On tl|e importance of n classienl education to
lie medical student, it is unnecessary to dwell;
it is a well established fact, that few men have
fv become eminent in medicine, w ithout some
wledgc, at least, of the languages of Greece
Rome. An acquaintance with iho French
uage has also become indispensable to the
AiLrlcan physician, and more especially of late
yt'Is, since French medical liternture hits bit
so intimately blended with thnt of the U.
3ta\s. In addilion to those acquirements, a
rcsiViable knowledge of the different branches
usuK taught at our Academies, is absolutely
oecelary. Tlmt soundness of mind and purity
of ratal character, added to the aforesaid ac-
com, Kliments, would he itspful appendages, we
pr^sulp, few persons will be disposed to ques-
Hop. t
In ntking a fi tv, condensed remarks under the
sccniK^eod of nui subj-ct, we must assert, thnt
the jgia-auce i.f the community in general on
medicif matters, buhls out strong inducements
to emifics and illegitimate pretenders, to im
pose oitheir credulity. For wnnt of some ac-
quaintitcc with the medical sciences, many of
nurenliiitened citizens become the dupes of
pi I'Sttinuious ignorance, and are frequently in
duced ((employ the illiterate braggadocio in
prefereifc to the tegular physician, (low can
this evils, remedied, unless some acquaintance
with thejutiincs of the medical sciences should
be inadei part of an Academic education ?
’J be hhiiin mind is naturally Jond of that
mystery liich belongs to secret compositions,
and a co idence is thereby inspired in their
medical r tlities, which would not be attach
ed to in ■ preparation, the composition of
which mi it be geneially known. The con
sumption ’such articles is, moreover, much in
creased in iho publication ofall the cures which
they are n iresented to havepffected, while their
disingeout s preparers studiously avoid any dis
closure of ieir failures. We hnvn no doubt but
nostrums I *e frequently rffected cures, either
accidental! , or through the medium of the ima
gination ; ieir exhibition, under any circum
stances, hitviver, is dismeti icnlly opposed to
correct muliial principles In order to pre-
scribe judiciously for any disease the scientific
physician will.I.e governed by the constitution
of the pdllentllhc stage and violence of the dis
ease, (withoutbaying any regard to its name,)
the nature anl extent of the sympathetic ac
tion which is ekercised over particular organs,
and the charade) of the prevailing discuses —
From these data, ik it not evident that the 'same
medicinal agents which may he found success'
ful iu the treatmett of one disease, might prove
highly prejudicial/if not fatal, in w hat might bo
considered the sanje disease in others, owing to
some peculiarity in its type, or iibosyncrasy of
constitution 7
Having now Arrived at the third head of our
subject, we slisll barely observe,that the narrow
minded system of detraction adopted by many
medical practitioners, to enhance their own rc-
pu'iition, st the expense of that of their hre-
Theophilus Dean, who beiegswora, saith tliaish | thren, has largely contributed to degrade the

once noble aud honorable profession of mrdi
l ine, fo remedy this evil, the possession of a
wa ll cultivated mind and unexceptionable moral
ebarnctrr in those who are admitted to the study
ofniedirttie, would, probably, Wgfii* ftio-t effec-
tunlpreventive. In addition to this,<hr* laying
In-foie iho public genernllv, through the medi
um *f all the newspapers of the country, the me
dico} ethics, by which, not only elf the most
eminent anil honorable physicians of the United
Suites are governed, but also those of Great
Britain and .other countries, would, doubtless,
have a salutary influence. To the medical
ethics of Dr Perclval, tho committee would ob
serve, they art indebted for many of the hints
contained in their present code. With these im
pressions, they beg leave to recommend them to
the serious attention of the medical profession,
aud of the public in general.
J. Itis the duly of every medical practitioner
to treat his patient^with steadiness, tenderness
and humanity, and to make due allowances for
thnt mental weakness which usually accompa
nies bodily disease. Secrecy and delicacy
should be strictly observed in all cases in which
they may seem to lie peculiarly rt quirrd.
2. The strictest observance of temperance
cannot be too strongly inculcated on the minds
of the practitioners of Medicine anil Surgery-
clear Slid vigorous intellect anil a steady
hand, being absolutely necessary to Ihe success
ful practice of those branches of medical sci
ence.
3 Unfavorable prognostications should never
he made in the presence of patients ; yet,
should there seem to be immediate danger, it
becomes the duty of the medical attendant to
apprise the patient’s friends of thnt circum
stance.
4. In every instance in which one physician
has been called on to visit the patient of another,
a consultation with the former mqdical atten
dant should be proposed Consuhntions in dif
ficult cues should always be recommended, ami
the physician called on for that purpose, should
always pay the greatest degree of respect to the
practitioner first employed, and allow him the
privilege of delivering all the directions agreed
5. Special consultations are sometimes wished
for; in such cases, the physic iaq railed on
should carefully guard against paying another
Ills services by the patient, or same of his friends.
<1. IV hen one physician is called on to visit
the patient of another in bis *h*cnce, or during
short indisposition, he shouTd not manifest a
wish to continue in Mlendnnce any longer than
the physician first called on should ho able to
resume thv charge of the caso, unless n conti
nuance of his services should be expressly wish
ed for by the patient or his friends
7 I'liysicians should not visit their patients
too frequently, lest seeing tliemoftener than ne-
evssary might ptmlucc unsteadiness Iu the treat
ment.
8. Theoretical discussion* should not be loo
freely indulged in consultations, ns they fre
quently give rise to much perplexity, without
any Improvement in practice.
ft. I he junior physician iu attendance should
always deliver his opinion fii*t, the others ac
cording to seniority, and a mnjorlty should de-
ciile; but in the eveut of a tie, the phvsictan
first in ntteudauce should give the casting vote
in regard to the future treatment, nnd to Avu
should tie entrusted the future management uf
the esse, unless the patient or Ms relations
should object to bis being cimtinned.
10. Although the possession of a Diploma
honorably acquired, furnishes presumptive evi
dence of professional ability, and entitles its
possessor to pre'rininencf in the profession, yet,
thn want of it should not exclude practitioners
of experience and sound jndgmeut from the
fellowship nnd respect of the regular grndunte.
11. la consultations, punctuality in meeting
at the same time should be strictly observed, hut
the physician who first arrives, should wait for a
reasonable length of time forthe arrival of o
then. A minute examination of the patient,
however, should not take place until one or
more of the medical attendants arc present, ex
cept in cases of emergency. All subsequent
visits shobld, if practicable, be made by mutual
agreement, nnd no medical discussions should
take place in the presence of the patient.
12 Attendance on members of lire profession
or their families should alwoys be gratuitous,
but should not be officiously obtruded. Should
the circumstances ofthd medical practitioner in
disposed, well enable him to innke n recompense
for medical services rendered to himself, bis
wife or family, it is bis duty to do so, especially
if lie reside at a distance,
IU. When one medical practitioner ix called
on to visit a patient whose recovery has been
despaired of by Ihcphysirian first in attendance,
and the disease should afterwards terminate fa
tally trader his management, he should nvoid
insinuating to the friends of the deceased, that
if he had been called on a day, or a few hours
sooner, be could have effected a cure. Such a
course of conduct is highly reprehensible, ami
empirical in the extreme. And, in the event of
the patient’s recovery, such a person should not
assume fill the credit, as the cure might have
been parti) effected by the medicines prescribed
before he took charge of the case.
14. The use of nostrums and quack medicines
should be discouraged by thn faculty', as degrad
ing to the profession, injurious to health, and
often destructive of life. Should patients labor
ing under chronic complaints obstinately deter
mine to Imre recourse to* them, a reasonable de
gree of indulgence should be nilowed to their
credulity by the physician ; but it is his sacred
duly to warn them of the fallacy of their expec
rations, and the danger of the expm iment, and
the necessity of strict attention tntlieeffect pro
dneed by them, in order that their bnd effects,
if any, should be timely obviated.
15. No physician should, either by precept or
example contribute to the circulation of a secret
nostrum, whether it be Ills own invention and
exclusive property, or that of another. For, if
il lie of real value, its concealment is inc.niviss
thnt with beneficence nnd professional liberali
ty, and it mystery alone give it value nnd impor
tance, such craft implies either disgrncclul ig
norance or fraudulent avarice.
Id In all cases where diversity of opinion nnd
opposition of interest give rise to controversy or
contention between tivoor more members of thn
profession, the decision should be teferred to a
sufficient number of physicians, ns they are fre
quently the only persons in the community ca
pable of properly estimating the merits of the
dispute. But neither Ihe subject litigated, nor
the decision thereon should he communicated 10
the public, ns individual reputation might Fiiff. r,
nnd the credit of the profession generally lie in
jured.
17. _ A wealthy physician, or one retired from
practice, should refuse »*. give gratuitous ad
vice, unless the danger of the cose (in the ab
sence of the pracrising physician) or the pover
ty ol the patient should warrant him in so doing.
In all rnsc8, when he may bo preferred, lie
should rccummiiiid a consultation w ith some one
engaged in active practice. This rule should be
strictly observed, as a contrary course is gra-
tuituously depriving active industry of its pro
per reward.
18. W hen n physician is called on suddenly
to visit the patient of another. in c inBQqucrcp
of some unexpected or einrming change in the
symptoms, he should adopt a temporary p.l»* 1 .'' ,
treatment suited to pic*ent circutnilan'*'* e
is not warranted in interfering .nerward*. un
less requested to tnke cb="t* 8 the date, when
he should )rropo«*> an immediate consultation
with the physician previously employed.
19. Physician* should never neglect an oppor
tunity of fortifying and promoting the good re-
eolations of patient* suffering under the bail tf
fects of intemperate lives and vicious conduct;
nnd, in order that their councils and remonstran
ces tuny have due weight, it will readily be
seen, tlmt they should have full claim to the
blamelets life and high inornl eharactar which
we have stated to be n necessary pre-requisite
to nn honorable stand in the profession.
20. Mtdirni men should " remember the Sab
bath day to keep it holy and visits should as
far as consistent with professional engagements,
be made either b< f ire or after public worship,
nr dui ing its intervals.

the parian nimble iu whiteness, shone like

Translated from n new French Periodical for

At the present moment, when the eyes
of the whole world are fixed on Ihe strug
gles between Russia and Turkey, the fol
lowing observations of a French Travel
ler, on the wretched condition of the fe
male Bex, in those eastern countries, sub
ject to the barbarous gn ay of Mahome
tanism, may have some interest for the
reader of the Shield. The -hapless fate of
oriental females has been often the sub
ject of coininisseration with the enlight
ened and generous mind. How often
must the poor oriental females, view this
land of liberty, »it It nil t nviouqeye, where
the talents anil virtues of the fair t-cx are
justly appreciated, and where they sustain
their proper rank iu the scule of society—
