调解委员会和医疗援助协会。先生——去年5月，总医学委员会对可耻的广告发表了虔诚的意见，你允许我在《英国医学杂志》的专栏上发表抗议，委员会的一位成员向我保证，委员会已经宣布广告是臭名昭著的行为，而另一位成员写信给我，表达意见只是一个初步的警告，11月的会议将宣布同样的罪行是职业上臭名昭著的。这表明，安理会的一个成员实际上不知道他协助安理会做了什么，而另一个成员无法预测安理会将做什么。因为11月来了又走了，委员会没有做它在法律上和逻辑上能做的唯一一件事，即宣布广告和拉票是臭名昭著的行为。目前，广告受到总医学委员会虔诚的谴责，但仅限于与医疗援助协会有关。注意逻辑和公平：“如果你是医疗援助协会的医生，你可能不会参与这些做法，但如果你不是这样的人，我们对这个问题无话可说。”请允许我再次敦促我们协会在确定该调解委员会的范围之前不要参与或参与该委员会。首先，让友好协会同意他们无权拥有和开展医疗援助协会的论点，然后我们将与他们讨论一个调解委员会，以规范他们与医疗行业的道德关系。格洛弗医生的特殊辩护应当不予理睬。你所说的掌握信息不会蒙蔽你的读者，因为他们有充足的“信息”，往往是通过第一手资料和艰苦的经验得来的，而且他们很久以前就对这个问题形成了自己的看法。我断言，多年前我最初抱怨这种癌症正在侵蚀医学职业的命脉，现在所发现的所有重要信息无一不是体现在我的抱怨中，这一点肯定是正确的。总医学委员会的研究只成功地做了一件事，而且就我所知，只成功地做了一件事，那就是混淆了一个非常简单的问题。12月11日，莱明顿。莱斯利·菲利普斯。医学和病理学。先生——由于赫林厄姆医生在10月8日发表在《英国医学杂志》上的关于上述问题的信中提到了我的《普通病理学手册》，我相信您会允许我回复他。Herringham博士提出的观点，简单地说，就是病理学是“医学的一门特殊学科”，因此应该在允许教授医学的地方，也就是在医院里教授。在这个前提下，我承认结论是足够合理的。但是，虽然我觉得所有分支的病理学最好在医院里教授，但我确信
THE CONCILIATION BOARD AND MEDICAL AID ASSOCIATIONS. SIR,-When in May last the General Medical Council pro-mounced a pious opinion about scandalous advertising you allowed me to utter a protest in the columns of the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL, whereupon I was assured by one member of the Council that the Council had declared advertising to be infamous conduct, while another wrote to me that expressing the opinion was but a preliminary warning that the November session would declare this same offence to be pro-fessionally infamous. This shows that one memberof the Council actually did not know what he had assisted the Oouncil to do, while the other could not forecast what the Council would do. For November has come and gone, and the Council has failed to do the only thing it can legally and logically do, namely, declare advertising and canvassing infamous conduct. At the present moment advertising receives pious condemnation from the General Medical Council, but only in relation to medical aid associations. Mark thelogic and fairness:" You may not lend yourself to these practices if you are a medical aid association doctor, though we have nothing tosay on this subject if you are not so connected." Once more let me urge our Association to have no hand or part in this Conciliation Board until its scope is defined. First, let the friendly societies agree with the contention that they have no right to own and carry on a medical aid association, and then we will talk to them about a Conciliation Board to regulate the ethics of their relation to the medical profession. The special pleading of Dr. Glover should be ignored. The suggested possession of information will not blind your readers, for they have ample" information," often gleaned at first hand andby hard experience, and they have long ago formulated their views on this question. I am assuredly right in asserting that no material fragment of information has come to light that was not embodied years ago in my original complaints of this cancer eating into the vitals of the profession of medicine. The researches of the Committee of the General Medical Council have succeeded in doing one thing, and, as far as I can make out, one thing only, and that is in confusing a very simpleproblem.-I am, etc., Leamington, Dec. IIth. LESLIE PHILLIPS.MEDICINE AND PATHOLOGY. SIR,-Since in his letter on the above subject in the BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL of October gth Dr. Herringham has referred to my Manual of General Pathology, I trust that you will permit me to reply to him. The proposition that Dr. Herringham puts forward, shortly expressed, is that pathology is" a special bit of medicine." and therefore should be taught where it is allowed that medi-cine generally should be taught, namely, in hospitals. Granted the premiss I will allow that the conclusion is reasonable enough. But though I feel that pathology in all its branches will best be taught at hospitals I am convinced that
