These certificates cost cne dollar
piece and II you notice the word MUST
is TWO times in directing the public at
tion 10 the fact that the revenue
MUST go to the doctor. The president

Now where Is the law for such graft?
Attorney General Simon's attention
was called TO the work OF the aforesaid
doctor president. and he-the aforesaid
attorney general-refusod to act in the
matter
Now. If the dear public viii notice
"NUST" see the certain doctor. thr

Of the medical fight now going on in
Oklahoma
And II the people will notice the phrase

childhood sweet are slandered, ana the
Bible statement that "on that side Of
tire river and on this side are trees grow
ing whose fruits are good for food and
whose leaves are good for medicine" IS
abrogated
Yes, sir. the practice Of nature and the
medical advice Of God are slandered to
ease the liver OF the modern inhdeliiy
that has for years declared man to be an
animal and his cure the same as that
which will act on the cells OF the beast
Now, we are not only asked TO come

II it were only profession involved,
then we would care less: but the fredical

or not the public needs a guardian to
invade every home with drug and spoon
to administer affairs. We have no fear.
We will trust the people. So let the

hundred doctors IN Oklahoma registered
under Or. Cowdrick. as supcr,ntendeats
OF the hoard OF hcalta. under the old law.
These are the men who MUST go. Wen,
do they? II the action Of the supeiin-
tcndent under the old law was void, how
much beiter on Of mere force is the ac-
ti1u OF this board? What right has this
board TO eneuire into the action OF the
old Wrd through It's superintendent.
