When I commenced practice in Auckland in 1885, during a period of intense depression, I reduced medical fees to the medium English rates-those charged to persons whosie incomes are from £ 500 to £200 a year— viz 2/6 for consultations and 5/ for visits, medicine included, and for strict cash only. At these rates I did a large practice. Unfortunately, owing to a very severe attack of influenza, I was obliged to discontinue practice, and when I resumed it, thinking to lessen my work, \ **°P* ea *^c usual rates charged in Auckland. The result has been disastrous. The losses by bad debt's have been greater in proportion than I ever had before, and I have determined to resume the old cash rates. My health will not allow me to take lodge or midwifery practice, nor did I come to Hew Zealand to take such practice, put to continue the consulting practice I had followed for many years. Unfortunately, I found that my University degree of Doctor of Medicine, obtained after two separate examinations, wasof no benefit to me, aB every apothecary dubs himself Doctor. Out of 23 r?wf» o +"w? a PPear in the windows of Chemists in Queen-street, only two are legally entitled to call themselves ' Doctor. 1 I have had other disadvantages; there are some thousands of stupid bigots in Auckland who think that a Roman Catholic cannot remove a tumour or diagnose a case of heart disease property. I hope that more than 50' years' study and experience of medicine and surgery in hospitals in England, Scutari, the SSSIL^f s t lndie s> and New Zealand, ™Ii U lll^. 1 bave ke P* m yself well acquainted with modern discoveries and (next to Bmeeton's, upstairs.
