OAKLAND OFEIcE SAN Francisco CALL.

Fabiola Hospital.
Since the last meeting a few mem bers
of the society have declared that they
would not obey the resolution ordering all
allopathic doctors to sever their connec-
ton with Fabiola, and it was thought
that at to-night's meeting these mem bers
would be expelled. This action, however.
cannot be taken, and the only means of
showing their disapproval by the major
ity of the society is TO refuse to consult or
in any way have anything to do with the
dissenting members.
DR.. Buteau. president of the society,
very clearly stated the position taken by
the regulars. This is not a war between
the two schools" he said. What we want
is an equal representation on the staff at
Fabiola and an equal share of the work.
We have been Disseminated against for
fifteen years and we do not intend that
this shall continue any longer, We are
continually told that no partlaIlty IS
shown at the hospital, but this Is not so.
Four-ffths of all the work done there IS
placed in the hands of the homeopaths.
If the ladies intend that we should be on
an eQual footing, it seems, strange that
thew should in fifteen years have ap-
pointed only homeopaths to the office OF
resident physician. II their desire is to
be absolutely fair toward both schools, it
would seem but right that they should al
least alternate the regular physician when
they elect him or her every two years. So
lar no member OF our school has yet been
in that position.
"As a matter of fact we have been i'm
posed upon, because citizens OF Oakland
who believe in the regular school have
done as much toward supporting Fabioa
~ 70 nd hou
have done it believing that the hospital
was purely inn partial. As regards homeo-
paths, Oakland Is alone in her experience
in the United States. In no other city
have they such a ioothold as here, and
the reason is that they are not honest;
they adopt largely allopathic, treatments,
and still call them selves homeopaths.
There is not in Oakland to-day a single
homeopath who adheres rigidly to the
teachings of Hahne mann. If they did so
we would not care, but we do object to
being Disseminated against in favor Of
men who would not attain any success
but for the manner in which they pretend
homeopathy and practi ce allopathy.
ITO have anything more to do with
hospital tolerating such methods is un-
diguifed, and we have decided 10 quit"
Mrs. John Yuie, president of the Fabi-
ola Association, has frequently declared
that the statements of the allopaths are
anu LuaL II Ll6re Is n pre-
ponderance of homeopathic patients at
Fabiola il is because that class OF patients
go there. The ladies state that no influ-
ence is brought to bear on patient in the
hospital, but that they are free TO choose
their own physicians.
