MEDICAL MEN'S PROTEST
DR. FINDLAY'S FIGURES COMBATTED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Invercargill, Last Night. A meeting of local doctors to-night discussed Dr. Findlay's proposals with regard to venereal diseases, and criticised his speeches thereon, and particularly his statistics. Criticism was largely on the lines of Dr. Kingston-Fvffe's recent letter to the New Zealand Times. The following resolution was carried: That the Medical Association of Southland is: of the opinion that Dr. Findlay's statistics are absolutely misleading and incorrect, and certainly not applicable to Southland in the experience of members; and it is absolutely inconceivable from what authority the figures were obtained. Further, in the opinion of this Association, the Attorney-Gen-eral's proposals, instead of attaining the objects in view, would unquestionably increase the evil. It was stated that it was doubtful whether Dr. Findlay's figures could hold good even in a lock hospital.
