BY OSTE0PATHY.
Proposed Treatment is 0p-
posed by Several Physicians

A number OF persons who are opposed
To the passage OF the act 20 regulate the
practice OF osteopathy. were given an OPP
portunity to state their views before the
house judiciary committee yesterday af-
ternoon.
The principal speaker was Gardiner T.
Swarts. NJ. D., of the state board OF
health, who said that much was said OF
the meaning OF the word by which this
practice is known. but little was said of
what the practice really In. IL was ad-
mitted that manipulation played an Inn
portant part In the treatment. IL was as
a whole not 10 be upnderstood except by
those who have studied In schools OF os-
teopathy.
DR.. Swarts dwelt upon the necessity of
a knowledge of all the functions of the
body I'm order 10 successfully treat any
one function. He objected 10 the lack OF
provision in the bill for determining what
We're reputable and what were not repu-
table colleges in osteopathy.
lie thought. too. that in the granting OF
the certificates there was great opportu-
nifty for malfeasance. lie thought that
under this bill anyone who had money
could come here and establish school,
with the result that Rhode la,And would
soon become diploma mill.
Dr. Moore of this city thought this was
an attempt TO set up petty monopoly In
the massage business and believed that II
was not right to deprive the masseur OF
his trade. lie objected 10 the act as a
whole and hoped IL would not be passed.
Medical Examiner Jay Perkins said
that he regarded osteopatby as one of the
schemes arranged TO get money and be-
lieved that II would die a natural death IL
left alone. lie asked what the answer
would be IL a physician who used osteo-
pathy was asked. Did you do all that
could be done 10 save this mans life?"
There'werc cases, he said, where the
use OF stimulants was absolutely neces-
sary IL lhe was TO be prolonged or saved.
lie believed that the claims OF these peo-
pie were impossible.
Judge Isaac II. Southwick. who spoke
for the friends OF the bill said "The os-
teopstbs do not think the physicians
understand what osteopathy is. We claim
To examine osteopaths, since the board
knows nothing OF the subject upon which
IL would examine others.
THE state board are the exclusionists
rather than the osteopaths. I venture To
say that DR. Swarts is materially wrong
in all his explans tions OF what osteopathy
really is.
1T seems to me that the board OF os-
teopathy can pass with as much validity
upon what recognized schools and coll
leges OF osteopathy are as the state board
OF health can upon the recognized medi-
cal colleges"
ine hearing was then adjourned.

NOVEL AND INTERESTING
EXHIBIT AT THE ART CLUB.

One or the most notable and certainly
the most original and novel exhibition
ever given under the auspices OF the
Providence Art club opened in the gal
lery, on Thomas street last evening.
As one entered the brilliantly lighted
gallery he might easily have imagined
himself In some museum OF the old world
so bewildering was the display on every
side. Certainly as one approached the
corner OF the gallery where was arranged
the beautiful exhibit of book decoration
printing and binding he might have fan
cied himself in the domain OF Ebert Hub
bard.
Again az one surveyed the beautiful dis
play OF metal work by Charles H. Barr
of Coweset. one realized that 10 him had
descended something OF the spirit and tho
cunning that must have dwelt I'm tho
minds Of the metal workers and the
forgers Of old and that he indeed had
discovered a lost art and adapted IL TO
the needs OF the twentieth century.

Sort of a CannibaI.

An old farmer forfmany years got his
dinner on market days at small hotel
kept by a widow.
She had long suspected that he ate
more than the price Qs. CD warranted,
so she determined to test him. She ac-
cordingIy arranged matters so that
there was no room for him at table, but
she took him into a private room the
table of which was graced by steam
ing leg of mutton. He set to in good
earnest, and soon nothing was left but
the bones.
Highly delighted with his cheap feed,
on passing the bar he rendered 2 shil-
lings for his dinner and quart of ale.
The widow declined to take any pay
ment on the ground of having incon-
venienced him so much.
Chuckling to himself, the farmer lift
ed down his market basket from a
hook, and, finding it rather light, he
tore off the covering and shouted:
Here, Mrs. Brown, where's my leg
o. mutton?'
why, We old silly" said the widow.
''ye have ate your leg for your dinner"'

II think it is time. furthermore, TO
demolish the fiction that there is an
unwritten law. established by Wash

States may accept third term. The
facts areas any student of the times
may diScover-that it was fear of de-

Gratis of his day. and recognizing the
growing strength of his opponents, he
