In resuming the case against DR..
Howell before Judge Trenchard James
l.. Hallowell was recalled to the wit
ness stand for further cross -examina
tion.
Judge Carrow asked: "Mr. Halo
we'll did not DR.. Howell order all
drugs taken out OF your house when
he came to attenn Mrs. Hallowell?"
Mr.. Hallowell replied that DR..
Howell ordered the removal of all the
drugs prescribed by DR.. Lippincott,
who had been previously attending
Mrs. Hallowell.
The State called DR.. @. P. Jones,
who, not responding, the State rested
the case. Judge Carrow made a mo.
tion ''that the jury be directed to re i.
turn verdict of not guilty, the State
having failed to make out case.'
Judge Trenchard refused to grant
the motion and Mr. Carrow made his
opening for the defence.
His claim was that DR.. Howell was
not a practicing physician; or a
surgeon He is an osteopath-a prac.
tising osteopathy and so advertised
himself. He had studied that theory
of curing, had graduated, and had a
diploma as an osteopath the theory
of curing by hand manipulating or
massage. DR.. Howell had violated no
State laws.
DR.. Howell was placed upon the
stand; he resides in Vineland, says he
practiced osteopathy in Vineland and
Millville. Osteopathy, he said CON
sisted in healing disease by manipu-
lation by the hands. Don't believe
in the use of drngs. Nature provides
its own laboratory and produces its
own remedial agencies.
He studied and graduated in Seattle
and practiced osteopathy ia that city !;
he afterwards took a post graduate
course in Philadelphia, and is now
practicing in this State. Never prac-
ticed medicine nor surgery He prac-
tices osteopathy. Never gave drugs
to anybody.
The ouly difference petween massage
and osteopathy is that the latter is the
scientific process of massage.
