Ethics in the Medical Profession

Dr. Frank B Wynn, an eminent member of the medical profession of Indianapolis, who met a tragic death 'in the western mountains, stood high no only for his ability, but also for the exalted ethical ideals which he espoused and practiced.

Early this year the Journal of the Indiana Stat Medical association printed an article written by. Dr. Wynn in which he set forth ten commandments to which he believed every 'physician shpuld subscribe. : They were of such high standard that many requests for their publication induced the Indianapolis News to reproduce them editorially. The following excerpt 'from the News presents

them: "The first of Dr. Wynn's commandments dealt with reverence and responsibility to the human body. The second asked the physicians to hold fast to such old medical truths as experience had shown to be good, sought also the acceptance of 'the newer truths of medical advancement.' The third ' spoke of the necessity for keeping faith, and demanded that the worship of the graven images of false practice should be shunned. The confidential relations between physicians and patient formed the basis of the fourth, emphasizing anew the sacredness of the trust a physician holds. The fifth was emphatic in speaking of the sanctity of human life, and the doctor's obligations to save it where possible.

The sixth counseled against bearing false witness against a fellow physician. The seventh spoke of gentlemanly conduct. Honesty in business was exacted by the eighth. It struck at extortionate charges and fee splitting. In the ninth Dr. Wynn called the attention of physicians

to the duty they owe their own families and the ! families of worthy coll I agues. "The tenth commaldment read as follows;! 'Remember thou art thy brother's keeperphysically in the meayares and remedies advised for the prevention, alleviation or healing of disease; srAritually in the cheer thou bringest to heavy hearts, and the courage thou givest 'to halting steps. So, walking upright before man, mayest thou shew thyself approved unto God. Thus journeying toward life's end, if not singing

with the Psalmist "m;" cup runneth over," thou wil.t at least be. sustined by the reflections of "a workman that necdeth not to be ashamed." ' The greatest tribute the profession pays to Dr. Wynn is its conviction that he has kept the faith."

The public looks upon ministers, lawyers and physicians as their advisers and counselors. If they do not maintain high standards of integrity the public loses faith in their ability and character. These professions win respect and confidence in proportion to the quality of the men listed in their memberships. If members

of these professions lack educational training to make them competent, and if their learning is

loot matched by an equally high moral standard

which spurns and loaths unethical and unprotessional methods, they are untrue to high callings, and the public is not long in finding them out. Dr. Wynn set out a number of requirements which the layman demands of his physician. Members of the profession who cannot maintain such a standard of practice should get out of the calling. They are detrimental to the profession and a curse to the men and women who go to him for treatment and advice.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It." "Up" A FRIEND OR T-WO I once heard a friend of mine refer to another friend as one having a genius for friendship. I would rather have that sort of genius than any other on earth. For after everything has been swept awiy, in a material way, then thei friend comes up to cheer, to comfort, to inspire, and to help you rebuild perhaps greater and better than before. While a large number of friends are very flattering, still one only needs "a friend or two," of the diamond class, to make one really happy. Stevenson puts it "to keep a few friends, but these without capitulation." One of Jesus' disciples was known as "John, the beloved." I like that word beloved. And that is the way 1 like to feel toward those who are my real friends beloved. For a friend must be of the sort to go the full route with you no matter what that route may be. Kipling's Kim was known as the "little friend of all the world." That is the broad way of being a friend. I like that, too. Love your friend for what he is not for his clothes, his family, his education, his money, or his position. A friend with nothing but any or all of these might easily turn on you and leave you worse than alone. Warmth and understanding, loyalty and sincerity, are the great things to look for in a friend. Can't you imagine yourself as being very happy with just "a friend or two" with these attributes? But you can't keep the best friend on earth for long unless you also become a friend. You must know how to forgive, to forget and to overlook. You must look deep and remember that "kind hearts are more than coronets." Your "friend or two" must be grounded in a compact faith and they must never be "beyond running distance of you at any time. Have a real friend and he will stick to you closer than a brother.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 2. An artist who paints queer, interesting pictures Is Leonard H. Wilder of the Public Health Service. A water color painting of grains of dust so highly magnified that you can see the sharp edges of some grains and the jagged, saw-like edges of others is one of his latest works. A different style ot

art is represented by a pen and ink drawing on nls studio wall, suowing a cross section or a straw tick with myriads of parasites swimming in its blood. AU about the wall hang other examples of the scientific artist's skill. They are not the sort of pictures that you would buy to hang in the parlor, but they are painted, many of them, for the benefit of the public. You may have seen some of this artist's work in Public Health Service publications maps of cities showing disease areas, pictures of the muscle groups of the body, a flea highly magnified, a shoe that will cramp the foot diagramed to show how the distortion

occurs. In its attempts to ehow the people

the dangers of disease and the great need for preventive measures tho Public Health Service keeps Mr. Wilder busy at his easel making several hundred illustrations a year. The government doctors and scientists have found that a detailed verbal description of how a mosquito implants malaria parasites in the fcady is far less Impressive than a highly magnified picture of the parasite entering the proboscis of the mosquito. A eho description

with the picture may tell how the

them highly and painted them on glass. Seven-eighths of the grains had cutting' edges. The grains with sharp edge like glass were crystalline products, probably the finest sand. Cinders were in the dust too, and the microscope showed that they had sawlike edges, injurious to the ears and eyes. It took a microscope enlarging the dust 500 times to show clearly the character of ordinary dust. Tho moral was so obvious that it was scarcely necessary to write on the label a plea for cleanliness. The sharp grains, tiny as they are, may do damage to the lungs and leave them susceptible

to the attacks of germs. For another picture, Mr. Wilder took a tiny piece of cotton from the floor of a cotton mill and a piece of wool. He teased them out to the finest possible condition and magnified them. The resulting picture showec that in these fine teased fibers there was a certain amount of organic matter which, if taken into the system of

a human being, would cause serious j

inconvenience. These fine atoms ot cotton and wool are breathed in by

workers in mills. He also made a picture of flour dust, which blows about in the air of a flour mill. His picture showed that this flour dust which falls on the floor and then blows up into the dry air is largely impregnated with organic matter. The 6ample pictures of dust were all sent to Rio to show the people that such industries may be dangerous unless workers are cleanly. Artist's Varied Career Mr. Wilder's work takes in every

phase of art training, and he says

laboratory expert sends for Mr. Wilder to come and sketch a rat or guinea pig that-has been inoculated with some disease. The picture is generally wanted to accompany a report on the experimental work, and it may be necessary to sketch the animal at once because its condition will change. The artist eeizes pad and pencil and hurries to the laboratory. Ten minutes quick work in the laboratory and Mr Wilder goes off with a drawing of the points that are peculiar to that particular animal. He notes unusual or unnatural color, swelling, and the disease symptoms. Then he spends several days making an elaborate oil painting. Once he sketched a rat that had bubonic plague. There was no way of getting close to the animal without exposure to the disease. The artist had to observe it through the glass on top of a tank. Two things have Impressed this government artist about scientific art. One is that the order of the universe extends to the most minute r,rgan isms. The parasite sucha6 a mite or louse has tens of thousands of parasites, perfectly formed, preying on it. These organisms in the tissue and blood of a parasite have as much space in which to move about us we

nave in a rocm. The other fact which seems to th-i artist as of paramount importance is the war which disease germs are constantly waging against humanity. Most of them are dangerous, sapping the vitality of human being when they do not rapidly destroy t'ssues and cause disease. In his pictures, Mr. Wilder shows other people as vividly as he can, how geims do their deadly work. Through his art he preaches silently a powerful creed of cleanliness and prevention of disease.

Some of them, painted on glass, represent a new development in scientific art. Using a Microscope A microscope has always been regarded as the most lucid way of show, ing scientific wonders to the public. But if you have ever been off red a peep into a high power microscope you know that a short glimpse at the object on the plate is raialy satisfactory. Even a person accustomed to using scientific apparatus may have difficulty in focusing the instrument. Mr. Wilder says that he never likes to use any microscope except his own because it takes several days to get used to a etrange instrument, even if it is of the same make and type as his own. So it is not strange that the public, offered a qnick view of a few interesting germs at soma exhibition, rarely gets a good look. Nothing, however, seemed so convincing io the layman as a microscopic plate, and the Public Health Service often packed and sent out 16 instruments to health exhibitions. A few months ago, though, Mr. Wilder experimented with some water color paintings of parasites on five inch squares of glass. Each of these was put in the bottom of a fairly deep box and a glass cover was fitted on the top. The result was a view that stood out in relief just as the microscopic plate did, and the painting was larger and did not have to be squinted at or brought into focus. The transparencies went to an exhibition in Chicago and doctors and other visitors approved of them highly. Among the glass paintings sent to Rio de Janeiro are a number of pictures showing the dangers of dust. Mr. Wilder went into the street and

the pictures that government investigators casually request. Before doing government work, he had a long career as a landscape artist, portrait painter, and teacher of art. He studud engraving and etching and was regarded as an expert etcher. Then scientists persuaded him that science needed artists 'with a passion for truth and exactness. He gave up producing beauty and began to make his art serve science, first at the University of Chicago and now for 15 years at the Public Health Service laboratory. His scientific art attracted attention in England and he was made a Fellow of the Royal Art Society. He chose an extremely difficult field. In drawing a fly, magnified so that it is as large as a hand, the artist must reproduce even tho number of hairs on the leg of the insect. The delicate colors of the wings, the marking and the modeling must be perfectly copied, and the drawing must be enlarged accurately to scale.

Much harder, however, is the task of painting from memory. Often a
