GOING TOO FAR.

DR.. Wood, at the meeting of the
Board Of Health yesterday was at
his old game and this time rubbed
in it' to the druggists who have
fallen under his displeasure. He is
reported to have said that a drug
gist who prescribed medicine for .
man was virtually practicing medi-
cine without license and ought to
be censured. The instance he spe-
cially referred to was one in which
a man with "sore" throat went to
a drugstore and was given some
remedy supposed to give relief for
"sore" throat. The man unfortu-
nately had the diphteria and was
walking the streets" for several
days before seeing doctor, We
cannot see how and why the drug
gist is to blame. A man enters a
drugstore aud asks for something
to relieve pain in some part OF his

THE oHINAMAN's COUNTRY

Our blatherskite annexationsts
are constantly shouting chat this is a
"white" mans country, and they are
using all possible inducements to
inveigle "white" men to come here
and cast their lot in these sunny
isles. The "white" mechanics who
are here, who pay their taxes, and
with their families constitute the
backbone of the country are daily
realizing that the annexa'ionsts

THE LATEST HUMBUG

One of the latest frauds, which
periodically is being foisted on the
civilized world, is the new school
OF medicine" called Osteopathy.
This alleged Science of healing" is
now according to the Advertiser to
be inflicted on the people OF these
islands under the patronage of Mr..
j. B. Atherton, who has imported
gentleman TO establish the school
here. We publish in another column
paragraph from leading Amer
lean medical journal which should
have the careful consideration of
the Board of Health before a license
to practice medicine is granted to
any "Osteopath."

other. We have referred to the
buildings being erected for private
citizens by Asiatics, while the
"white" mechanics are Indignantly
looking on and wondering how they
can keep the wolf from the door.
Yet their patience has been tried
even more when they noticed three
benefcaries of the public crib, three
staunch annexationists, three Off
cials "booming" Hawaii as "white"
mans country, using Chinese car
peuters 10 do their building works.
Mr.. j. F. Brown, the Gland agent"
DR.. Day, the port physician, and
DR.. Howard, an employee OF the
Board of Health, draw big salaries
from the treasury of this "white"
mans country. They get their
share of the taxes which the white
and Hawaiian mechanics contribute
to the treasury, but when they put
up house or make an addition to
their mansions they call in the long
tailed Chinese, who are styled car
penters. 1t is fortunate for the Off
eials named that they do not live in
California. If they did they would
be out of lob and minus a house.

that annexation would mean to them
the enjoyment OF the full political
rights OF Americans. We knew that

we knew that the Dole oligarchy

their pretty promises to the Hawai-

We also quote few sentences
from the American Medico. .Surgicsl
Bulletin in regard to the matter:
"The latest and most absurd addi-
ton to medical sectariauism halls
from Missouri. The founder is a
former medical man, A. j. Still. He
claims TO have a wonderful dis
covery in the form of "a new science
of medicine. Il By process
of inner eogitation he perfected
what he calls his 'new science"
For twenty years he struggled along
in poverty, no one believing in him,
until about four years ago, when by
a dexterous turn in advertising he
found himself famous Already he
is said to be worth 100000, and has
more patients and students than hc
can attend to. The State OF Mis-
souri, gave him charter to start
college where the degree OF D, O.
doctor OF Osteopatby) is conferred.
Miss Peck Of Ohio, d. o.
was asked to state what Osteopathy
is, and this is her reply: "Osteo-
pathy is science based upon ana
tony and physiology. Armed with
a comprehensive knowledge of the
human body, the osteopath is en-
abled to trace disease TO some ab-
normal position of bone, contrac-
tion OF musculee, etc, obstructing
the nerve force, or the circulation of
blood, or other vital forces Of the
body. By his thorough knowledge
OF the anatomical structure OF the
body the osteopatb, by manipula-
tion, adjusts the abnormaity, thus
establishing nerve force aud circula
ton"
The medical journal from which
we quote calls the above definition
OF osteopathy ridiculous jargon."
1t is too mild an expression 1t is
simply dwelling rot, which even
the most ignorant layman should
laugh at. III the Board OF Health
OF Hawaii gives license to practice
medicine to any d. o, the members
ought to be driven out of town as
accessories in the committing of a
dangerous fraud, and their punish
ment that they be obliged to be
treated by an "osteopath" when
they get i'll.

which is published in this mornings

that he 10 still the same high prin-

this community has always known

not want to venture any personal
opinion in regard to the eventual
fate of the Annexation Treaty or

Mr.. Davies, as sincere, intelli-
gent citizen, claimed that the pres
ent Government of Hawaii was an
satisfactory, aud must remain so un-
til connection BET ween the Execu-
tive and Electorate should be estab-

tion or force in the conduct of
affairs that will show the strong, the
missing utterance of the popular
voice." said Mr.. Davies, and his
words went home even to the marble
heart OF the Advertiser man and
made him and his tribe very wroth.
