ABOUT MEDICAL ANARCHY
DR.. Woodward Expresses His Opin-
ion of a Pending Bill.
The Measure "To Restore Medical
Freedom tn the People of the
District" Is DisaPprOved.

The Commissioners sent to Congress yes
terday report upon House bin 1898,
introduced by Representative KEN, Ito
restore medical freedom to the people OF
the District" upon which the health Off
GERS comment is that If II is intended to
permit the selection of physicians who are
not authorized to practice, 1t should be
designated as a GiIl to restore medical
anarchy"
The health officers report upon the bill
is approved by the Commissioners, and
the former saws there is absolutely
nothing TO be said in favor OF this meas
ure ~
The measure provides that ''all citizens
of the District OF sound mind, who are
not under conviction for crime. shall be
entitled to the right and privilege to select
their own PHYSICIANS to employ the same
and compensate them for their services
DT. Woodward said in his report:
Existing law does not prohibit any
citizen in the District from selecting his
own physician, provided such physician
has been legally authorized to practice
medicine. y
He adds that ''the selection OF a physician
is something of more than mere personal
interest Errors OF incompetent persons
involve a Iisk to the entire community
1t is not possible for the poor and ignorant
people to determine the ability OF persons
who may represent themselves to be com
petent physicians.
There s no reason, DR.. Woodward OBJ
serves, why the government shall not re-
quire certain degree Of education as
qualification for permission to practice
medicine, and il this bill becomes a law,
iu his opinion, there ought also to be n
law to permit people to select their own
druggists, steam engineers, lawyers, and
elevator operators from the uninforn. ed
classes
