The Political activity of the Ameri.,
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the ayowed purpose of the Doctors of
the Regular" or Allopathic school, of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, Is to secure the passage Of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale Of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" o
recognized. This in many states would.
prevent the growing practice Of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers Of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
In which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has q Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents In practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly If the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be employed"
This Is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose Of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem

cause of their afiliation with state or
local societies. The Association OWE

the June meeting, amounted to only

Of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing

So 1t happens that while there has

A recent test of oils for road making

In order to determine the value OF

Country Life in America, a road bed
was prepared in sandy soil. After
grading 1t was plowed four and a half
inches deep and narrowed.
A harrow preceded and followed

was repeated until one gallon had been
