A North Dakota Lady Gets a
Bill Through The
Senate
State Railroad Commissioners
Take Action on Rate
Matters.

The Present nCFonlt0ntiaTy lTuS-
tees Not Authorized by
The senate passed bill Saturday al.
lowing the practice Of osteopathy in the
state. Mrs. DeLendrscie of Fargo, one
Of the progressive women OF the state,
addressed the senate in the interests Of
the bill.
She explained that the body is q ma
chine, which under normal conditions
will do it's duty thoroughly. OsteOpathy
recognizes this fact, it has no quarrel
with medicine or surgery, but 1t states
there is another way OF treating disease.
In the treatment of osteopathy, arms
and legs are used as levers, as it we're, to
open up the circulation. OsteOpathy
insists that all diseases spring from
some wrong, some pressure upon nerves,
arteries, blood vessels of the human
body. Fully four.ffths of all cases that
have been treated by OsteopSthy have
come from structural pressure-pressure
of the bone. Some time ago the speaker
was threatened With the terrible dread of
cancer. She when to Klrksville, No.,
and submitted to treatment there at
the hospital of osteopathy and came
away cured. There she saw insanity,
consumption, paralysis, kidney and liver
diseases, all treated successfully. The
speaker explained that IN many states
osteopathy was practlced by permission
Of the law and a similar law was desired
for North Dakota. She sald she was no
lobbyist, but she did ask that in the in.
terest of suffering humanity this bill
(senate bill 1907 be passed, and the
treatment Of osteopathy be encouraged
IN the state.
Medical men are opposing Mrs.
DeLendrecie's osteopsthy bill passed
by the senate. Drs. Weir, Wheeler and
others appeared before the house COM
mittee, which agreed to recommend the
bill be indefinitely postponed. The
grounds on which the opposition rests is
that the treatment is simply massage
and IN the nature Of fake. Mrs.
DeLendrecie is vigorously defending it.
The chief objection, however, ls that
doctors believe that graduates Of the
osteopathy school at Klrksville, Mo-,
should not be admitted to practice in
the state unless they stand the same
examination that the law requires of
graduates OF other medical institutions.
They have no objection to the practice
of the eame IN North Dakota but the
special privileges involved in the bill not
granted to other schools or systems Of
medicine.
