GRAVE ABUSES
PROPER LEGISLATION The
REMEDY.
Dr. Franklin tells how fayoritism
is shownfn the Medical Profession

is shownin the Medical Profession
Gardneryille July 18th, 1898.
The community is vastly interested III
such pleas as that before the Academy ol
Medicine in behalf of efficient medical
Legislation. The fast waning confidence
of the people, in the profession may PEI
baps be somewhat revived when men o
such high standing and attalnments set
the trouble and address themselves to 1T
removal. But the problem reaches farther
than this. That legislation by the people
shall be for the people and not for the
nrofession. will the so-called restrictive
legislation help tie people or Is 1t to help
school men: Out OF lli- Practlclng grad
yates of medical colleges applying Tor po-
sitions before the United States naval
board, 100 were TOO ignorant TO even pass
the board. The Medical Director says'
ut is not merely Ignorance OF unempon-
ant technicalities but gross and disgraciu'
Ignorance aud lliteracy'. One applicant
defined Pneumonia as peculiar disease
of one lung. and pleurisy the name given
the same wnen il Affected the other lung.
1t is capable .. proof that the largest pro-
norton OF re,.. -ure5 OF the past nifty yearh
in any form .. -.sease have been made by
parties ont, u. Schools, obviously leg
,slation 10. - people does not mean
throwing Ii - ! around the schools to
protect tl...A -. .heir graduates lhe
practitione. GU, :. - be competent to solve
the problei..s of l. ology and Iherapeu-
ties upon ,a4ing 81 ge of case and not
expect to learn hew 10 treat disease b,
his unfortunate ca ,,sl enee at the bedside
OF his suffering pal I. The men who are
fit 10 be IN the pro- sion, do not neeo
restrictive legislation but the people do
need their lives protected from the mass
OF incompetent and unfit regulars as the,
call themselves. Aliopathie prejudice wac
shown not very long ago, when Dr Adalns
one of the leading homeopathic physicl-
ans OF Hacke1sack n. }. gave up his prac-
lice in order TO follow to the scat of wan
Company q. OF the second regiment o.
of which he has surgeon for number
of Years. When the board OF examining
surgeons went to Seagert last week, the!
at once manifested their unwllilngness To
nass n Homeopathist while in the case oi
the other urgeons the physical eAimin-
alton was merely no1slnal, that OF d.
Adams was made pa. .suiafly stringent
mt "a he IL been onc i the Brown I'm
lyersity cres shen he q in College he
mad no diff nlty in sh- Z that he wac
up to the II s. al rep ements. 1t was
announced tlai the R.ad had decided
not to'pass any Surgeon OF the homeopa-
thic school. When this was reported TO
Goyenor Voorhees, he declared that the
apJ ointment rested with him and placed
DIR. Adams at the head OF the Surgical
Staff of the Second Regiment with the
rank of Major. Why should moi every one
VINO possesses sound common sense pro
test against these distractions of liberty
to American freemen. Physio medical phy-
\ clans and their friends are taxed TO pay
the bills OF monopoly ring the members
OF which spend their time smuggling laws
through legislature to protect themselves
Woe unto those who have been and are
hood winked aud make use of everything
that is prescribed for them from quick
silver to poisonous virus: for enoeulations
sooner or later they will awaken to the
realities of despair for every wind tha'
blows will tell through all their aching
bones Therefore dear reader throw OIL
the shackels of superstitions OF the dark
ages of medicine, and seek nothing but
natural non poisonous Sanatiye remedies
purposely created by nature for your use,
thereby preserving life TO yourself and
benefiting humanity by an example Of
intelligent procedure.
