Show prescriptions IN LATIN the c should have them trans by the drugg ats what virtue Is there in the secrecy with which the doctor hedges about his profession 9 professional etiquette occupies a prominent place in the curriculum of every medical school and when strict ly analyzed professional etiquette seems to mean doing what is best tor for the doctor individually and col cot electively among the things that Is best for the doctor is the writing of his pre ser potions in latin and thus keeping the public in ignorance not only of what it is taking for its ills but tore fore ing a call upon the doctor ech eich time a prescription Is needed in plain and unmistakable english the writing of prescriptions in latin makes business for the doctors let us say that you have the ague you had it last year and the year be tore fore each time you have visited the doctor and be he hag has prescribed for you 1 la lat latin in you have neier knevin what he has given you tor for the disease and so each time you are forced to go to him again and give him an eunity to repeat his prescription in latin and his fee in dollars if you aek ask the doctor why he uses latin in writing his prescriptions why he writes aqua when he means wa ter he will give you a technical dis ser sert atlon tation on the purity of the latin language and the tact fact that all words are derived from it

will be a good thing for the public individually and collectively let us apply one of the rules of this code of ethics to you the individual you call in the physician when you have the ague the grippe

compounded right here Is where you come in it if you ara are wise sa to the druggist that you want a translation of that prescription it Is your privilege to know what you are taking while the doctors code of ethics may not recognize this right it is yours just the same with the translated prescription in your posses possession sign you have two distinct advantages you know what you are taking and should you wish to call some other doctor at some time you will be able to tell him what drugs 5 3 ou have been putting into your system and also it if you should have the same disease again you can save yourself a visit to the doctor and his tee fee by taking this translated prescription to the druggist once more and having it refilled DOES YOUR BACK achet profit by the experience of one who has
