Perhaps I may'als t briefly consider the reciprocal martil relations between the community and the physicians. which are not sufficiently understood or attended to by either. This is but the fourth occasion of the delivry titan aitnual address before our society, and only t e begin- ; Mug of the fourth year of its existenceo yet, despite 6f much vehement opposition. and no .external {aid from those who are practically Moat:interested in out. weirs,. we have attained a: high pitelt of prosperity lad morel power, which is indeed ititeparable freimsech mien with such objects. NYe l elreadi number el:tete-five Members: all we trust, zealous' in the great work of medical reform. .Yet it is Siell known thetiMereat„efferts have been made to increase our number - V. - inn we consider it tale dety.of i all educated and - ettlightelted..physicians to unite them- I selves with the worthy soiling their`brethren• and separate themselves entirely from hill charlatans and etapirics.— Such men "know their dairy" and if they "doilt not" it is no concern of ore. , ' I • ; • Organization ninljuied are the pOwerfaliTlOOVO forces s in all great enterpr es. iVithin a few yokes pist intelli gent medical men 'gendeleily awaked to the dist inct con sciousness that out profession. particularly i nns coun try. had sunk into a miserable degraded condition by means of the quacks and qusekselvers of diver t donomi mations, who. protendieg to science, had fasts ed t ed them selves like leeches upon the skirts of leiltlmegto I Moo They saw that much of this evil was owing to the inabil ity'ofnnprofessionel people to discriminate b . 4weon the gnoraht pretender and the able men, and that they hid too long trusted to the intelligence of the cominsunity to make the distinction, net reflecting that everts one was too much occupied with his awn business to consider the matter when well, and that, when sick. his judgment would not serve him. It was evidenl that coins strong measures Must be taken at once, er we shouhi soon be merged and lost in the rapidly gathering tan of pollution and venality. Law wad unwilling. or if willibs, utterly incompetent to aid us. One efficient moans and one alone presented itaelinhe same which its other countries had been previously adapted with success; ae universal organization of the really 'educated and scientific physi cians of the country, which should exclude frqm its nmka: ail ignorant pretender;—and only them. his - would leave the people no excuse for error. They would then have two paths and could choose for themselves, Lakin; the, conserinences on their owe heads. , It wria a itnpen-. does enterprise and presented obstacleg almosit iesurear able. For easier,woold it have been fur the nob l# spirits who embarked in it to have succumbed to the • nopular will, embraced some quack ' , •system," deluded the peo ple as they wished to be !deluded, and reaped a golden harvest from their Jades like rascality. But, rising 'belie each base considerations, they struggled nobly for the community who contemned them. and verilY7they were rewarded. The energy and perseverance. of honorable men is almost omnipotent. Soon their efforts were felt in the remotest corners of our lend. The work once star- I ted rapidly progreised. County societies sprang np like magic over the length and breadth of the country. and notwithstandingthe fear "of the timid, the tiesitalion of the weevil:sting. and the open opposition of not a few even in our own number, whose contracted views blinded their judgment, soon assumed definite form • and shape..:— Among the very foremost of thefts was'our beloved seciety, and it is oar proud boast, tlipt. though farthest from the great Priensylvesia centre of Medical Science. (and I may add also, of all other science,) we werel yet among the earliest to obey the 'call foe reform. Soon after this, State Societies, were formed; the members of which were delegated by. the different County So'cielies to represent their various interests. And, leit of all, that gig:kiwis body, the great American Medical Association, composed. according to the principles of air reptiblicen institutions, of Representatives from the County and i State Societies, and from various authoritative Medical I bodies, started on its nitignificent career. It is - de, granil I legislative power of our profeision in Ameriel. lie edicts I are as binding en us in hostor.', a statutes are oft !others in law. Efforts are now beio; ode to render. it lilt more democratic by allowing ,i,c emintation retie to the County and Sts Societies . ss4 at the smut body could not have an undue slumber of re resentsitiveig. : . These different negotiations a n ot mirely legietative. They award premiums for eel on reediest seibig;ets. 'receive reports on the diseases ef different ; sections and geological fornettions of : country, attempt e.supervision . over medical schools, and cJacentrate taleet epee great objects. Their minutes contain the treautof singlet the entire wisdbmof our profession. This is ell fact:, Yet, with all this are their authorized journals held in less es teem in our county courts than the bare asiertion of some brazen qnaek alto brings his rsperianted : imbecility to bear upon topics of which his ignorance is evident to the • most unlettered' observer. But let that lOW. It 11141 work its own reward, and tbe•handre,de whose fives have been sworn away by ignorauee will be filially avenged by thaVionorante itself. .

Possibly a slight sketch of the practical sillily of these association* would not be amiss.

But here is one infellible means. Medicel Organisation is all-sulß - , cient. All Medical AsSociatiens have -a standard of abil ity, (pot yet quite bighonough. it is true, but gradually rising.)-which Must be ;reached by any one ambitious of membership. All who can net attain it areiwitis jestice styled ignorant pretenders. None are diteladedlehe caw. Those in our brotherhood are prononvisted-by thole peon.

We ask only competency. . Now how was thin benevolence received. Instead of gratitude for the-kindness. n groat cry of indignation arose. 1 People never like lobe considered galls. andthis attempt. 1 as they thought it. to teach them, even upon,' subject of! of which they could not pursi!dy be otherwise' than igno- I rant. was strongly resented. They - practically said "we would rather di;.: from queekiMy than be indebted for our, lives to Jour kindness." And the physicians, good, kind, ; easy, souls, most needs argue the matter with them for- sooth. instead of remembering that "it skills not talking with an angry man." or &entities with`one who does se t ; understand what he's talking, about. They should have said "gentlemen, we wish not to dictate- to yens You luxes a choice, make it •and take the consermencee and responsibility. All we ask . of you is to treat us like gen-1 demen as we are." No one can understand medical sub jects, but hemrho has made them a professional study.— How absurd is the position.Of one who, having grown i honorably gray in gathering love from our "rand old 1 masterle.".and dimmed his oye in -study by the "mid night taper." yet condescends to arras with some beard- ; less boy who scarce could spell the polyeylabic greek hip tongue so glibly utters: Yet sucli sights are often seen from - the mad folly 'of men cal mes in allowing them selves to be drawn into such pretty disputes. end riot treat ing. as they skeet!, 'all ilippant allusions to our worthy calling with dignified contempt or withering rebuke.

The Wilily of the association is- now acknoitried lied -by all save those whose enmity is more complimehe,, tern than ttlfr friendship. I When no one felt the-need of it, there was an outcry against as, but when any of the members were in requisition, it was a very good or- ganization. ••When the devil was sled, the devil a monk wnntd be: When,the devil got well, ?bedevil a monk was be." Even now. we are second by m tny who ire really friendly to ue, of inhamrinity in refining to consult with those unqualified for membership. Let us examine this accusation briefly. We are told, it is hard that a man can ' not have his choice of a physician without being debarred I from the aid of others. is this the fact? In the first plaeuthere is a large selection in Our own number. But throw that aside. Let them select whom they will, and there are still rosily others "not of us." who Will gladly consult with him.—men of eengenid tains and pursuits, mind and edecation, min who alone email consult with ; him with any degree of harmony. No con shosli select I a physician without reposing implicit confidence in• his honor. judgment. and ahility. If they do this, why should I they.wish Turther aid from others, who, perhaps holding him to be an unqualified pretender, would certainly"be ,aufitted for harmouious action with him, es well migh t j i yati invite the Christian minister to meet at the bedside j ; of the dying. with the tudhist.blohommedan. or even .!the fearful Thug!
