" as to explain how you would
treat heart disease" demanded
DR.. T. 3. Beatty of Osteopath A. NJ
Young during the discussion before the
senate's public health committee yes
terday of the merits Of osteopathy.
"A vertical lesion, caused by affec-
ton of the third ganglia, adjacent to
the fifth vertebra,' began DR.. Young
in his reply, and before finishing his
sentence used the words "funiculi,'
''endoneurim." "neurilemma, 'medul-
lated and ''periphiral."
DR.. Beatty sank gasping in his chair
before the volley of pOlysyilables was
half delivered, and the stenographer
who was recording the join debate
threw his pencil behind the steam -adi-
ator. With the conclusion of the SEN
tence the senators and the spectators
burst into a hearty laugh.
Peppered by questions and cross
questions, DR.. Young held the floor for
over an hour in his support of the
measure which the osteopaths are try
ing to have enacted in their behalf by
the Utah legislature. The committee
took no action yesterday but Will dis
cuss the bill in executive session next
Monday.
Can't Obtain Justice.
Owing 20 the perjudice which ex-
lists in the minds of the medical pro-
fession against osteopathy it is simply
impossible fog osteopaths to obtain
Justice at the hands of a medical
board" declared DR.. Young when asked
why his colleagues would not take ex-
amlnations in everything but materia
medica. "As we'll make Methodists the
judges of the qualifications of candi-
inf ha 20 10
priesthood. Certain it is that no Cath
Ole could pass any examination before
a Methodist board. The fundamental
differences are too great. and yet no
broad-minded man would for a moment
question that each church can save
souls, and does save souls.
DR.. Beatty speaks of medicine as a
science. Why, there is not a physician
who can predict with certainty the eff
feet of a dose of calomel of a given
size. and yet that is one OF the RENE
dies they prescribe most frequently in
one form or another. There is not one
of you here who can name the chemical
ingredients of morphine, another drug
you are constantly prescribing.
Know the Germs Well.
You say we are not qualified IN hlc-
teriolegy and microscopy. The doctor
who made that assertion prOfessed to
tell all about Osteopathy. but he was
totally ignorant of the fact that the
laboratory equipment OF our university
in KirksVille is finer and better than
that of the state university of Missouri,
and that our school has d complete as
sOrtment of all the standard germ Gull
lures and supplies other schools with
mounts.
You say we should not be permitted
to treat contagious diseases. Why, our
VIII ta al emf
gious diseases is far better than any
thing the medical practice can produce.
In one county in Missouri where there
was an epidemic of smallpox last year
200 cases were treated by Osteopathic
methods, and only two were lost. Equal
that if you can"
Tell me the antidOte for emameda
muscaria?" demanded DR.. Henry La
Motto when DIR. Young had finished

Bamberger in d stage whisper. leaning
over towards Senator Whitmore.

expression.
"Ahv' Say the Doctors.
DR.. Young finally admitted he didn't
know the antidote.

mock surprise.
"Ah," triumphantly chorussed Drs.
Beatty. Hanchette. Fisher, White. Fol-
land. Plummer and Young. who consti-

doctors nodded with equal severity,
their looks telling as plain as words
could that there was no possible ex-
cuse for ignorance as to amman ada
muscaria or its antidote. The senators
tried to look reprovingly at DR.. Young
as if to rebuke his ignorance. but their
attempt was failure. DIR. Young didn't
even blush.
How many grains Of" he retorted.

echoed the Osteopathic gallery when
none of the physicians could answer
the question.
Let us get 70 the point, gentlemen"
demanded Chairman Murdoch of the
senate committee when he saw the doc
tors fixing up another little teaser to
throw at the osteopaths. SO the logon
achy was ended. All of the doctors
named above took a turn at attacking
osteopathy and the osteopath bill. their
arguments being along the lines re-
ported in yesterdays edition of The
Herald. There will be no further pub
lie hearing on the subject before the
senate.
