THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
To the Editor, Sib, —I beg your readers to defer their judgment on the extraordinary document that appeared in your columns yesterday, signed by Drs Hulme, Yates, Borrows, and Mr Hocken, until they see the evidence I am collecting as to the perfect correctness of my statement.—l am, &c., E. H. Bakewell. Dunedin, June 24. To the Editor. Sib, —It is deeply to be regretted that some members of our profession should have felt themselves called upon to publish “the disclaimer” that appeared in your last night’s edition. If a contradiolion was required to Dr Bakewell’s statements, it would have been quite sufficient to have pointed out where he was in error; as at present worded, “the disclaimer” shows marked animus, which will, rightly or wrongly, be ascribed by the general public to spite or petty jealousy. The present status of the profession in Dunedin is not such that it can afford to lose caste. It would be as well for members of our profession to try and remember that they are at any rate supposed to be gentlemen.—Yours, &c., _ M.R.C.S..E. Dunedin, June 24.
