On these occasions they stripped him as tbey would a corp so and performed the needul ahlutlons. Ho was , equally notorious tor his horror of elean linen.

" a"UTALITY OF MEDICAL ETHICS , I A Great Surgeon Barred from Mem. berchlp In Medical Association , ( U'rom the National Druggist tor June , 1907. ) Dr. Augustus Charles Berna's , who died n few da'B ngo In St. Louis , was , , prohahly , the foremost surgeon in the United , States. His tame was coextensive - extensive with the civilized world. lIe was not only nn operator ot the high. cst order , but a tireless and exhaus. tive worleer in the field of original BU11ery. Ho performed the flrst BUC- cesBful Caesarian section In 188 ! ! In St. Louis , and l Iso the first successful coeUotomy for gunBhot wound ot the abdomen and the firBt gallstone opera. tlon In Missouri , A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled : Out ot elghty.ono successive caBes of appendicitis which necelsltatod ! operations , seventy.ono In succession were with perfectly Batlsfactory reo sults , the soventy.second patient fall. Ing ot recovery , but the subsequent nine cases were successtully treated. And yet , with such a record , match. less as was his skill , varied and ex. tenslve as was Ilia lcarnlng , wonder. ful as were his accompUShmentB , ho was not considered , by the American Medical Association , as worthy ot membership in that organization. No charges wero' , ever brought ngalnst him which , In th9 remotest degree , reflected on his qua1Jficatlons ns a surgeon ; his moral character was never the sUbject o [ attack ; he was never accuBed of having done anything - thing unbecoming a man or a gentle- man. "The head and front ot his of. fending bad this extent-no more ! " Ho dared to think ! Ho refused to mold his opinions nnd to govern his actions by the arhitrary rules which those whom ho knew to he his Iner. lors had set up for his guidance ! In other wordB , he could not regard the Code ot Ethics of the American Medl , cal AssocIation as hclng Inspired , 01' having any hlndlng , authority on him where his judgment told him It was wrong. And so , twenty years ago or ulOre , on account of some trivial In' traction ot this sacred "Co do , " movement was Btarted to expel him from the local association , which was only defcated by his hastily sending In his resignation. As membership In the A. M. A. Is dependent upon memo bershlp In the local and State socle' ties , hlB na1110 was dropped by the national organization. And so , though he had saved thou , sands of Uves ; though other phYBI , cIans had profited by his art ; this brilliant surgeon ; this great and able man , has , during all these years , been nn outcast-a medical "Bcab ; " not recognized ns "ethical" or worthy 01 fellowship by that body ot phYlJlclans banded together In the American Med' Ical Association ! And this Is the association which under Iretense ot working tor the puhlic good , Is , In reality , only Beekln ! ! to control Congress and the State LegIslatures In the Interest ot thelt own selfish schemes ; which IB tryln ! to create a Cahlnet position and tc place one o [ its memhers in that po Bltlon ; which Is endeavoring by la\1 to exclude from the use o [ the malls all manufacturers o [ medicInes wh ( do not comply with the ahsurd ro qulrements that they cheese to Be up ; which , In short , is trying to pu upon the statute hooliS ot State anI nation laws that will , In effect , estab lish a Idnd ot medical priesthood , tl which only their own momhors will hi eligible with power and control eve the health and lives of the people !
