should be interested and should put their shoulders to the wheel in improving a condition which, to my mind, is a discredit to them. They have permitted the present system to prevail through ignorance, inertia and lack of appreciation of the chance for improvement in legal autopsy manipulations. Yet the profession to-day is active in endeavoring to increase the efficiency of all that is embodied in that department of medical endeavor called "state medicine." This movement properly is a part of state medicine and should receive their hearty endorsement. I need not. remind them that every instance in which the findings of coroner's autopsy physi¬ cians have been successfully combated by opposing pri¬ vate experts is a direct slap in the face of professional honor.
