SAN JOSE, Aug. 17.—The Santa Clara County Medical Soclety is seriously considering the advisability of charging the clergy full rates for medical services for themselves and their families. The prevalling custom now is to give minis- ters and their families a liberal reduction on doctor bills, generally about 25 cent. The question was fully discussed at a meeting of the doctors last night and had any of the reverend gentlemen been present their ears would tingle for months to_come. The topic, “Is it dignified or just for the medical profession to furnish gratui- tous services to the clergymen and their familles?”’ brought up the question. All those present were opposed and some spoke in vigorous terms. It was claimed the System was wrong. It was customary to charge laborers, many of whom re- celved less than $2 a day, while ministers, who, in most instances, made as much as the average physician, got reductions. It was declared there were many doctors anxious to serve ministers in order to ad- vertise themselves, especlally if the fa- vored pastor were popular. In all probability the question will be brought up again and some definite ac- tion taken. In this case there promises to be a breach between the ministers and doctors that may be aired from the va- rious pulpits. —_——— Killed by a Fall.
