I must not be understood to imply that physicians allow themselves to form such desires.

I am happy to believe that they would hail with joy a universal panacea.

But in such a sentiment it is the man, the Christian, who manifests himself, and who by a praiseworthy abnegation of self, takes that point of view of the question, which belongs to the consumer.

As a physician exercising his profession, and gaining from this profession his standing in society, his comforts, even the means of existence of his family, it is impossible but that his desires, or if you please so to word it, his interests, should be anti-social.
Are we manufacturers of cotton goods?
We desire to sell them at the price most advantageous to _ourselves_.

We would willingly consent to the suppression of all rival manufactories.
