And it is this system" of deadly
poisoning, this scientific" murder
secundem artem, that is still taught
in all our Allopathic schools of medi
cine, that these precious medical yanl
pires would thrust down the throats
of both practitioner and public. No
matter whether the physician has OBJ
tanned his medical education at the
fountains of medical wisdom OF their
own school, from the books and col
leges of some school that repudiates
their medicines and methods of treat
inent, in whole or in part, or whether
he has obtained his education from
the books of part of them or all of
them, or none of them, he must be
laid upon their Procrustian bed and
Topped off if he be too long, and
drawn out If he be too short!
And what does an allopathic
sheepskin (diploma) represent? 1t
is usually a certificate that the bearer
has spent two terms of sixteen weeds
not always that-at one of these
MEDICAL mills in which is taught the
"learned ignorance and quackery"
the "barbarous jargon,' founded on
conjecture and improved by murder"
that has come down to us from an ig-
norant and unscientific past, but is
still retained and taught in the cur
of old Allopathy by those
who are sstoo bigoted to learn any
thing or forget anything"
In order to show our readers that
we are correct in our statements in
this respect, and also to demonstrate
that old school theory and practice
have not improved any since the pull
