I solemnly pledge myself before God and in the presence of this assembly,to pass my life in purity and to practice
my profession faithfully.I will abstain from whatever is
deleterious and mischievous,and will not take or knowingly
administer any harmful drug. I will do all in my power to
maintain and elevate the standard of my profession,and will
hold in confidence all personal matters committed to my keeping
and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in the practice
of my calling. With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician
in his work, and devote myself to the welfare of those committed
to my care.
