"A LIBEL ON THE MEDICAL PROFESSION."
Sir,—The headline "Doctors' Secret Commissions" over the letter signed "Chemist" in your -issue of July 16 is nothing less than a libel on the medical profession. There are no doctors' secret commissions, and not a word, of truth in tho letter referred to from beginning to end. Although a malicious person like "Chemist" knows that he will bo justly punished by the law of libel if ho openly defames an individual member of the medical profession, yet he may apparently still havo what is to him; no doubt, the more congenial pleasure of anonymously libelling with impunity every • member of the profession collectively in the correspondence columns of a newspaper. —I am, etc., J.,S. ELLIOTT. Secretary, ■Wellington Division British Medical Association. ~
