DOCTORS AT OUTS.
DiSSenSiOn Arises Among
the homeopathic.
Several of Them Leave the School
and Enter for Diplomas in
AIIopathic Colleges.

There is some trouble q out among
the homeopathic doctors of Bly, Several
of Them have recently renouS( faith, severed
affiliations, and have gone over INTO the camp
of The unregeneIaie. DR.. George (. Davis. one
time dean of the Hahnemann College, DR.. G.. II.
Curtis, DR.. L. l. james aud several other lead
ing monographs have announced their inten-
lions OF taking out diplomas from the Cooper
College and other recognized alOpathic head
quarters. The exact reason OF their so doing
does not appear.
DR.. Davis was for twenty.three years or more
a teacher IN Hahnemann circles. DIR. Curtis
was a prominent homeopathic physician OF
large practice. They both aver, as do all the
rest who are concern in the movement that
thy are not dissatisfied with the particular
school 20 which they have adhered. They say
they are making change solely on personal
grounds.
All OF them have been connected in one way
or another with The Bahnemanu College. DR.
Davis was dean there for many years. While
dean he had some trouble over The appointment
OF woman o membership in The faculty. The
trouble stirred up personal aDlmosity aud
forced him TO a resignation. Now he is out and
declares that ''tbngs are not done on the
square at Halnemann; that he instruction is
not thorough and complete. aud that students
are graduated iregulary." just why he finds
II necessary after so many years service In
homeopathy TO go over TO Cooper College and
enter for d course looking toward degree he
does not say. Only this be does say: "The
allOpatbs aIe more liberal; under them one can
teach any patty he may choose for any given
case"
The latter fact seems to be The reason for
most OF the dissensious outside of that OF DIR.
Davis These are largely younger men, and
they go East to avail themselves OF the several
magnificent aliopathic colleges in New York,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
The representatives OF the h abnemanD Col
lege deny the charge that the teaching Is INSULT
cieni. They say The degrees of the institution
receive recognition everywhere, in other States
as we'll as In California, and that no better test
of their merit could be asked for. They also
say that nothing bur personal feeling Is ami.
mating DIR. Davis and certain others.
The question as 10 what Is what In the case
Is therefore left an open one.
