MEDICAL BiGOTRY.

One Of The CHEF claims Of science is its
tolerance. 1t pretends to look with supreme
contempt upon all forms of bigolry and dog =
matism. 1t calls itself progressive, liberal,
free from prejudice 1t would be always
meek and neck" with the times. To be II
scientist, in their own parlance, is TO be
"above prejudice, above superstition, above
creed" Nothing that savors Of intolerance
or persecution can be mentioned IN the tho
DRY of science.
But how is ii 10 reality {. Docs science al
ways live up to its professions For in
stance, how are we to account for the pres
ent relations of the two great schools of
medicine Here is bigoiry, if there ever
was any such thing. Let us look at the facts
OF the case.
A year ago last February the Medical So
cety OF New York State adopted a code
which left every Irregular" physician free to
follow his own judgment in the matter of
practice and consultation with physician of
the homeopathic school. About three months
ago an effort was made on the part
OF ultra conservatives 10 rescind this
new rule, and make it direct offence
for a physician of the dominant school to have
anything to do with an eclectic or homeopa-
thic physician. After a lively discussion
this attemp; was frustrated Then the old
school doctors of New York city united their
forces and found that they had majority
for that city They acted accordingly, and
succeeded in effectively squelching the spirit
of liberality at its most important point. One
of their measures was TO force the resignation
Of DR.. Joseph w. Howe of the Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, from the chair of
professor Of Clinical Surgery, because lie was
unwilling to assist them in rendering null the
new rule of the Medical Society.
This is but one instance of the spirit of
medical bgotry in this country. Everywhere
save, perhaps, in the little State of Rhode
Island-the same Intolerance is TO be seen
The homeopathic school is advancing,
and the dominant school is trying to
prevent its progress. Public opinion
Of the new school has changed materially
luc lhft thIhy ytulb' w
homeopathy was first introduced, into this
country in 1926, there were but two opin-
ions of it the first was that 1t was heretcal
the second, that it was ridiculous. OF these
two opinions, only one, and that of the peo-
pie, would seem to have undergone much
modification in quarter century. HOm9op-
athy has ceased to be considered ridiculous,
but it is still locked upon as heresy. The
fact that it Is attracting to It's ranks young
physicians of decided talent and ability,
serves at the same time 10 s,regthen the lat
ter opinion and weaken the former. Re-
maIkable successes in practice are not infre-
quent among the physicians Of the new
school, and it is an undoubied fact that per
pie are entrustng their lives in serious dis
ease, to homeopathic practitioners as they

Tic fate OF The young man. Has he been
annlhlated, like the whiskey and billiard sa-
loon, or has he merely been displaced tempo
ralily, to be returned TO his position cyentu-
