 No. 30. ) 
 
 Information having been received by the GoveFnor that 
 some of the Physicians detailed under his Proclamation to 
 remain at home and diligently attend upon the afflicted of 
 their Counties, hhve, in violation of their manifest duty to 
 the country, taken advantage of the indulgence granted 
 them, and of the absence of competition, and raised their 
 prices for profosjiional services, His Excellency has directed 
 pie to request the Inferior Courts ot the several Counties 
 of this State to convene at an earty day, and, 
 
 1st. To prescribe the rates of charges to be made by the 
 detailed piiysicians of their respective Counties for pro- 
 fessional services, nnd to furnish a copy of such rates tu 
 each of said physicians. 
 
 2d. To notify such physicians, that all the families of 
 their several Counties, who are in such indigent circum- 
 stances as to be unable to pay for medical attention, shall 
 be properly cared for by them, such persorj^ paying in no 
 case for more than the inedicines prescrilxn]. 
 
 3rd. In case any or said physici.ms should either charge 
 a higher rate than the fee bill fixed by said Courts, or neg- 
 lect the families cf the indigent in their respective Coun- 
 ties, the Inferi'M" Courts where the same shall occur, will, 
 without delay, transmit the n:»m('s of such physicians so 
 violating these instructions to t lis (JiUce, that their details 
 i^ay be revoked, and they sent to the front. 
 
 Relieved by thoir details from the perils and privations 
 of duty in the field, the indulgouce granted by the Govern- 
 or to the physicians requires a corresponding concession on 
 their part; nor is this requisition an invidious one, for the 
 detailed farmer is required to sell his marketable surplus to 
 the Confederate States and Soldiers' families at prices us- 
 ually not more than one-fourth of their market value. — 
 The Governor and the Country expect and require thai 
 those thus favored should. do all in their power to alleviate 
 the miseries entailed upon the families of our heroes, who 
 are exposing their lives so nobly upon every battle field iu 
 defence of all that is near and dear to each and all of us.
