Individual Rights

Archibald McLellan

Some things are amusing per se, while others, serious in themselves, are rendered so by being brought into juxtaposition with each other. An example of the latter is seen in the two paragraphs of a press dispatch which recently appeared in a number of newspapers. We quote from the Boston Transcript as follows:—

"Atlantic City, N. J., October 5.—The State homoeopathic doctors in convention here yesterday adopted a scale of fees to be charged for operations. The fee for stomach operations shall not exceed $500, nor be less than $50.

A patient can have a finger cut off for $5, or a leg removed for $150.
