As a certain class will employ a physician for a time and leave him with an unpaid account, 
and employ another; therefore, the undersigned physicians of Randolph and Chambers 
Cos., Ala., and Heard Co., Ga, have agreed, one with the other, that in the future they 
each and severally will render no service to any person, under any consideration, who is 
owing any one of their number, a physician’s account, and does not make a satisfactory 
arrangement for paying the same.
(Signed)
