The action OF the Alameda County
Medical Society in requiring that it's mem
bers shall not practice any longer at
Fabiola Hospital because homeopaths-
or, as the society terms them, 'irregu-
lars"-practiced there has not gained for
them the goodwill of the Fabiola Hos
pital ASSOCIATION.
In discussing the matter this afternoon
Mrs. John Yule, president of the associa-
ton, said:
We have given the three schools OF medi-
cine as islr an opportunity as we could.
Every patient who goes there is given a
choice, and believe the hospital is run on as
broad plan 5 any ever conducted, Patients
are left entirely uninfluenced when thew go
there as TO a choice of physicians, anu the one
they want is sum oned without delay. No
charge ofiavor1t1sm can be proved against the
nurses or house physician. The allopath
PHYSICIANS OF the ST f. when they examined
the hospital, comp.l mented us on the manner
in which it was conducted and on the work of
the nurses, but said the medical society

cars, the homeopaths were always TO be
found in such places, and they would neces-

trained nurses to carry out his orders. The
allopaths may as well say they Will debar any
OF their number who goes to the Metropoie
Hotel to attend patient because homeopath

hearted spirit shown by Thomas Williams,
president of the Pacific Jockey CLUB, who has
agreed TO make all the necessary arrange

receipts over to the hospital.
President F. II. Buteau of the Alameds
County Medical Society made the follow.

We have no contest with the lady managers

While TO the public our school is advertised as
having equal footing with others at this
hospital, We have not We attend less
than 10 per cent OF the cases that go into that

physician have been persuaded TO take the
services of one OF the other school because of
the solicitations of the house physicians and
nurses.
