The address which attracted more at
tentlou than uy other delivered at the
recent annual tmutict of the New York
State Medical association held Mt the
Hotel Muulmttan In New York w
made by a clergy ma u. the Kcv. Dr.

much snrjiriso because of Us source,
was received none the less with hearty
applause, says the New York Times.
Mr. Wrlsbt hud previously suggeMtetl
that doctors ought really to teach tucli
paUents more than they do and tlmi
they might look uiku their profiskin
a little more rrom. the ethical stand
point perhaps. lUit when he touched
on the subject of euthanasia he admit
ted fraukly ih.it tt was simply a dream.
As a dream, however, he bad no bcsil
taney In advocating the doctrine. He
recalled an lustauoe In which a man'
life had becu savl after a disat r at
Spuyten Duvvll, and be said:
"They did save bis life, though for
what practical purpose I canuot tell.
unless possibly for dauuiKe suit. I
appreciate the pructieal difficulties In
the way of tbeappl!catlon of the dm
trine, but It seems to tue that It Is not
beyond the bounds of possibility. Ol
course It would be necessary to have
the advice and approval of men of tin
highest sclentlflc attainment The clt
might be divided luto districts, and or
ery application should bo considered
most carefully, not merely by pliysl
clans, but by some eminent clerycmnn
selected for the purpose. And. or
course, there should be the consent of
relatives aud the consent, even the re
quest, of the patieut himself. Hut
where all these conditions are fulfilM
and where the prolongation of life I
simply the prolongation of hopeless
agony tt seems to me that It would W
proper that such a patient should quiet
ly, deceit My, modestly, be allowed to
end the sufferings, tt seems to nie tli:;t
such a course would be a stop forward
In chillKition and a step further aw.ij
from barbarism."
Oue of the speakers after Mr. Wright
was John 8. Wise, a former congn'Sts
mnu of Yirginln. who said In part:
"I cnuuot agree with some of the ad
vice which some of your profession
has received tonight. For either a law
yer or a doctor to give too much In
formation to bis clients or patients
would be to give away the snap to the
men who pay him. That would be tie-

I know of a country where that custom
Is practiced, and If the gentleman Is
really serious In his adyocaey ot It I
will use all my Influence to secure him

"t hsve heard ot a gentleman who
spent one summer op tn the arctic re

with a rnrnily of natives, which Ip
eluded tbo father ot the household,
When he went there the next summer
he missed th old gentleman and was

tbo head ot the family had killed hit
father. 'Yes,' he laid, he got so old
he couldn't work, and so I shot him
"Now. If say one likes that sort of
way I guess that's Just the way that
will suit him. But for some of us here
I'm afraid the question would arise.
Aren't ws getting along pretty close to
papa's agel"
Here are the views of several New
York physicians on ths Rev. Merle Bt
C Wright's theory:
Dr. George P. Shrady said that mod
era seleiies tended to an exactly op
poslte course.
"We are giving to ths weal the latest
developments of practice and re
search," said Dr. Shindy. "Persont
once considered iueurablt are now
amenable to successful treatment. It
Is absurd to discuss ths dream of the
clergyman with seriousness. lint hot
than a step farther away from the bar
barians, as be hits. It Is retrogressive
toward ths practice of elimination
which yet holds In some savage tribes
It Is to ths glory of the medical pro
fesslon that a case Is not considered
without hope unUI tbe last vital spark
Is extinguished."
Dr. B. C. Spltxka believed that It
would open the door to a criminal eon
dltlon. There would be opportunity to
do away with diseased persons for nl
tcrlor motives.
"Who shall say that a person should
be disposed of r bs asked.
Dr. Gill Wylle said that no doctor Is
so Infallible that be will say a disease
Is Incurable.
"Nature, by kind provision, dulls the
extreme sensibilities of many so culled
suffering patients. Their relatives and
friends suffer more than they do," was
the way he put It.
Dr. Andrew U. 8mlth recalled a car
Where a laborer, caught In a cleft In a
ledge by the rock dislodged by a blast,
was badly crushed. There was no way
to rescue bltn except by other blasts
and be wns relieved of bis Injuries
which were of themselves fatal, by
death administered as painlessly n
possible.

would be the only excuse," ho remark
