CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN MARYLAND.
OPPOSITION TO BILL TO PREVENT TREATING THE
SICK BY FAITH.

Annapolis Md, Feb. 2-The House Committee
on Hygiene gave hearing to-day to a number of
Christian Scientists who appeared in opposition to
the Medical Practitioners bill. They came from
Baltimore and Washington, and were represented
by ]. Berry Baker AIonzo s. Miles and George
Whitelock, who argued the Illegally of the
measure, and by Edward Hammond of Baltimore
and Mrs. Ellen Brown Linscott Of Washington,
who explained the views of Christian Scientists
Mr.. Hammond said: I'VE claim no power of our
own We claim to be following in the footsteps of
Jesus Christ, who healed the sick through the
Father. We never drugs. We do not oppose
the employment of regular physician. Our text
book teaches that surgical cases should be left
to surgeons. We attempt to operate or
manipulate. 1t is estimated that there are from
10000 to 100000 Christian Scientists in the United
States"
The clause in the bill to which objection is made
reads: ANY person shall be regarded practising
medicine within the meaning of this act who shall
attempt 70 heal, operate on or prescribe for any
ailment Of another"
The bill provides that no one shall practise medi-
cine, as so defined, who shall not have a four
years course in a medical college and be duly
registered The petition of the Christian Scientists
gives the reasons for Directing this clause and
asks for the insertion OF the following amendment:
PROVIDED however, that nothing contained in this
act shau apply 10 any person persons who min
lister TO or treat the sick afflicted by mental or
spiritual means, and without the use of any drugs
ment was adopted by the Illinois Legislature last
year.
