Excerpt from Chicago Medical Review, Vol. 5: May 15, 1882 The reign OF Fannie - The Review sincerely regrets to find one of its cher ished illusions dissipated. It had long eu tertained the opinion that the New York physicians were endowed with considerable intellectual power. This opinion has been proven baseless by the Medical News. That Journal after arguing with the New York physicians, expostulating with them, and it might be said vituperating them were it not that this is too strong a designa tion for anything emanating from the city of brotherly love, suddenly dons the garb of jesop and with an enterprise at which the Review as a brother member of the medical press feels rejoiced, launches a fable at them. This last destroyed all the Review's belief in the New York medical profession. Fables are usually intended to teach children, or races, in an infantile stage of development, wisdom. \vhile the Medical News argued or expostulated with the New York profession, there was still some evidence to make the Review cherish its illusions, but when the Medical News abandoned argument and expostulation and in despair resorted to fables but one con elusion could be drawn; the News regarded the New York physicians as having only the mental condition of children. The Review bows with humility to the psycho logical knowledge of the News. Tobe sure this has been ridiculed by the best.
