J. Haiselden, | S % who permitted an infant, Allen John Bollinger, to die when an operation might have saved him to a life of unhappiness as a defective, was mor- ally and ethically justified in refus- ing to perform the operation, which bis cohselence did not sanction. An implied disapproval of a course wherein a physician might determine if it was or was not desirable for & patient to' live was contained'in the coneluding paragraph of the ver- diet; { “We belleve that the physician’s high- | 40 duty I (o relieve sufferiog, and 1b | savs or projong life. Members of Jary. 1 Tiw jury was composed of 9% physicians: John K, Gollen, hospitai Arthur Rankin, professor of anatomy, Loyola university; Ioward Chislett, dean of Hahnemann college; D. A. K. Bteele, dean of the Physicians’ and Surgeons’ college of the University of Mitnolg; Henry F. Lewls, professor of obstetrics, Cook County hosptal; Lud- wig Hektoen, professor of pathology, Rush Medical college, of the University of Chicago. Dr. Hulselden in hix testimony wald he did mot reach his final decision not 10 operate until he had consulted fifteen sos e ; approved his course of letting the little life expire, be sald. The mother of the chlld, wife of a well-to-do Workman, mother of three other children, all physi- cally and mentally normal, also agreed that the baby would be better off dead, he declared. Why He Did Not Operate. “1 dla not operate, first, because of the deformity of the child and, second, be- cause of the serlousness of the case,” he sald. “I Qld not urge the parents to follow my advise. I wsimply gave my opinion as a consulting surgeon. I was morally certaln the child would be a defective.” On what did you base your opinion?” usked Dr. Chislett, “On the actions of the child.' ““Was the brain normal >’ “Ne, It was not." “Was the child blind?” “Wall, 1 could not exactly say. eyes would not respond to lght.” “Was the child deaf?" “One of the ears was gone and 1 could T Al EROBREAN S ABERE BT ter It's avditory nerve.” Dr. Halselden showed a number of Xerays of the child's anatomy. of "Tremendous Importance. Dr, John Dili Robertson, ecity heaith commissioner, who testified that there was no ovidence that the ehild would ¥ have been mentally defective, jonued a nta _in part as follow g “A quéstion of l‘r:mmdnul imbortance 15 at once ralsed as to whether the right of any’ child ‘to lve should rest wholly’ on the judgment of any physlcian.

YIf we ure golng to depart from the recoghized duty of the physician to save lfe regardiess of what that life shall be afterward, then the state must provide . some tribunal similar to that of anclent Sparta, which quostioned the right of overy cthild to Uve until it had been passed upon by this tribunal’ Mg Heen pro v The verdict read in part as follows: “Wae find nho evidence from the physical defects in the child that it would have . become mentally or rally defective. ~ Beveral of the physical defects might have been Improved by plastic operations. .

Good Health Is Impossible Without Good Blood Scientists have revealed some amazing facts regarding the func- tions of the blood and its relation to health, To many, the blood is simply a necessary part of the body, which takes care of itself. A microscopic examination of one drop of blood shows millions of minute bodies or cerpuscles, each an individual life force. The life of & corpuscle is usually six weeks and must be replaced, sclence tells us, at the startling rate of §,000,000 per second. Good blood is the foundation of good health and can only be at- tained through a stomaeh in good condition. The source of most ills is traceable directly to the stomach, which acts as & power plant, converting the food we eat into blood. Like all machinery the stomach occasionally fails in its duties and requires assistance to put it in proper condition Duffy’'s Pure Malt Whiskey a produgt of nature, being made from clean wholesome grain thor- oughly malted, is invaluable in assisting the stomach in its imd portant duties, by stimulating the flow of gastric juices necessary for the proper digestion of food. If the stomach is kept in good condition, health invariably follows. Better health awaits you if you take a table- spoonful of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey in equal amounts of water or milk before meals and on retiring.
