An old fee bill, a copy of which is yet in the possession of Dr. George W. Fleming, was printed in the year 1856, and was evidently published by this society, as no record of a society in Shelbyville at that time can be found. It is possible. however, that a medical society may have existed in Shelbyville at that period. and published this fee bill and disbanded sometime prior to 1868, but this is not probable. The fee bill is as follows:

CHADWICK'S HISTORY OF SHELBY CO., IND.
unwilling to pay: and whereas, such individuals above specified are the first to call in a physician when either themselves or members of their family are ailing, as also the most ready to discharge the same with slander and abuse whenever he may see fit to demand remuneration for his services ; therefore, be it unanimously
Resolved, That each member of this society, being the best judge of the ability and unwillingness of his own customers to pay, shall keep a list of the names of such in his practice as are able but refuse to pay, and exchange the same with his brother members quarterly.
Resolved, That we will in no instance, knowingly render medical aid or supply medicine to any person or to his family, whose name has been placed on such lists, until such persons shall have paid up their former bills.
Resolved, That we will place a copy of our joint lists in the hands of every new physician who may locate among us, and who is willing to adopt these resolutions as his rule of action.
Resolved. That no man's name shall be entered on said lists until after his bill has been presented, nor until a reasonable time has been given for the payment of the same.
Resolved, That whenever any person may remove beyond the bounds of this society, without paying his medical bills, his name shall be put upon the Black List. and forwarded to the physicians of the neighborhood to which he may have removed.
The foregoing resolutions are not to be so construed as to inchide the truly indigent, who are always objects of charity, and who have equal claims upon the profession with the rest of the community.
(Drs. Smelson and Moore are permitted to arrange the mileage as suits themselves. )
The next attempt at organizing a medical society in Shelby county was made in 1868. Dr. S. P.
