Physicians & Surgeons Mr. Munro ir the Chair,

| The fivst and second paragraphs of the | Bi | being agreed to,

Mr. Roserraon remarked shat he did i2* wish it to be understood that there was any- thing is the Bill to prevent a person from calling in the assistance of any man in case of iliness or aceident, whose assistance mizbt ‘be desired by apy persun, The intention

was tO prohibit the improper interference with, and uajust imposition upon the public, by imposters,

lion. Mr. Wicurman would like to see a Bill passed which woul! give a status to the medical profession; yet, as there were giany persons in the country whose servicers | Were appreciated by the people, he would not wish to pass a measure to prevent them from practising, and thereby deprive the public of their services. The hoo member name? several of those, and in doing so, did not | hesitate to say be thought that not even the | medical gentlemen themselves would oppose their claim to the confidence of the pub- ie,

Mr. Roperts-n said the framers of the Bill bed ‘hese gentlemen in view, and bad HO tied low to proseribe thew

How, Mr. Peasy would prefer to see a | Bill which wou'd prevent them from re [covering lees by law, Yet, if parties who emp'oy.d them chouse to pay them, be wou d not have them fined for sea-pting it.

lion, the S kaksr would not support the Bill unless un amendment was introduced | which wou'd exempt frm interference thuse /persons who had been practising in the ‘eountry. Such men wight not have diplo mae, und might vos either be prepar-d to aliswer such questions as the Board of Ex- amicers mizhc propose; and if they were prevented from practising, he koew the countiy would regaid such a measure with disfavor,

Hon. Arronnry Generar said ‘he BI! Was av important ove, and required some consideration in order to dea! setisfactorily wih, That some protection shouid be g veo to the medical profession and the pul lic against “imposters, none woud deny. Whilst the argumeus ured ayaigst the Wea-ure, were in reality tbe strongest which could be produced in ttsfavor, Thar there were skillful men of iwtegrity which none wished to pursue with a Bij] that would de. prive the country of their sez vices, ail ud_ mitted, Bat what were the facts? Why, just this: that the propo-ed measure wouid place them in a sale position, if they avail- ed tnemse!ves of its provisions; while their present position Was a dangerous one. He | had that morning rece:ved a commuuication trom a female who wished him, as a pro- | fesstonal man to take s'eps to bave her | father exhumed from his grave, under the | copvietion that his death was eaused by the | iltreatment of an unskililul pretended med - |cal mau. Supposing tbat mau’s b.dy was jexbumed, and it was found that those sus- | picionS Were correct. why, be could immedi- ately be arrested for murder; whereas, bad ‘he received a license from a Boa'd euch as the Biil proposed to have established, he eculd e be indicted for ma!practice. .

Hou, Mr Persy said it was quite possi- | ble that the person ia the case referred to iby the learned Attorney General might, | nevertheless, be a licensed practitioner, Lt eo, the couctry would bave uo better guaran- tee than it had at present, He would not wisk either to sea hose women interfered with who, in the capacity of curses and otherwise, were so frequently and generaily employed,

Dr. Kopertsox said such was. not the in- ' tention,

Mr. Arseyacx believed a useful and skill- ful dostor bad wotbing to fear from quacks.

Hon. D. Davies said that assome parties) te wou'd, by bis saperior attainwents, s9on took exeeption to the Baume of the Bauk, he, would move that, the wood ‘* People’s’’ be)

But, while 1t was necessary 'o guard Agaios' cases of this sort, he (Mr, Cameron) telicved there were several per- sous of long standing in the country. who. though holding vo diploma, were often in the habit of reader.ng usefo! s-rvices to the community from their skill and long ex- perienes im medicine and surgery. And ‘he few @] sone s-ctious of the Bil would wtertere with :20s@- aud deprive the people of their services; for.the Bill proviaca th"

all who © refused or neglected ’’ to appear before the medical Board for examination. | or who. on being examined, failed to obsaio a licence, were di-qualitied from practising

He also thought that the clause imposing ® five on al] who practised without complying with the provisions of the Bil, as tov stringent in its working; for they would be liable to a fixe of £10 for the first offence, and £29 for the second. The fine, there- fore, if necessary at ail, shou'd be reduced to ebout one-fourth of those sume, The Bill alvo ovly acknowledged those who qualified themselves in some British or Kurupean institution, or in the citiesof Bu-- ‘on, New Yok, and Philace'phia, ‘n the United Sates.

Hoo Leaprx ov tas Opposition, (Mr. Wightman) kuewa iittie about surgery and mediciue, a8 he bad studied three years in Ejinburgh. He bad been frequent’y called upon, aed had many times. in various Ways, rendered assistance to his neiyhhora, wheo valed upon in a case of emergency, but never did or thought of charging for euch services, to the extent of one farining. But be knew that p ople living im remote dis- wie 8, and who were deprived of thore privi'eges which those e jiyed who were placed tn more favored Circumstances, apd knew these were men in several of those places who possessed eonsiderabie skill, but ueverthele-s, had not a d ploma ; yet as they bad been of much service to their neighbors aud the pubiic, he would pot wish to see the public deprived of their servces. He regarded the Bill us being tar too stringent. it would be impossib'e, in many instances fora poor man to obtain medicive or medical advice either 1f they wee to be deprived ot the persons whow they bad bitherte employ- ed.

Hon. P Sinct:tr was hot opposed to the priociple of tha measure, but regarded the bill before them as too stringent, and gave the profes-ion too much power in im- posing fines. Aliboagh cuses m ght have oceurred in which injarious cons-queneces re= sulted from the treatment of »02-professivn- a! men, yet, as a general rule, he thought f they did dittle good, they did vot do much hard.

Mr A.C. McDonaup, while regarding it a duty to protect the profe-sion, did not tbink the country was yet prepared, or sbould be required to diapense with the ser- views Of several who had hitherto rendered good service to the pubic, although thez aight not have diplomas.

How. Mr, Keury said the Committee bad heard of several istences iu which parties had suffered from the treatment received from wuskillful persons. It was a shame there was pot a law to protect the country from such imposition. As to those men to whom reference bad been meade, the Bill provided against their being imposed upon if ‘bey availed themselves of the protection it was intended to give.

Mr McLean entirely approved of the | Bill, and regarded it absolutely necessary to | guard the cuuntry agains! the curse of medi- cal quecks, ‘Liose persons who were us “fu! lu the country, would have nothing to com- plain of, as the Bill made suitabie provision " mevt thelr case.
