TECHNICAL PAPERS READ

Southern California Homeopathic
Medical society convened at the Hotel
Westminster yesterday morning. Adj
dresses, reports, election of officers for
the coming year and the reading of
many scientific papers took up the
greater portion of the opening day.
The meeting was called to order by
DR.. w. ]. Hawkes., president of the
society, at 10 o'clock in the morning.
DR.. Hawkes. in his annual address at
tackled proposed national medical leg
islation. He said in part:
The ultimate result of the making
of the proposed medical legislation
bills into law, no matter what the
wording may be, would be the binding
hand and foot of all medical or other
healing practice not indorsed by the
American Medical association. Care
was taken in the phraseology of the
proposed bills that lawmakers and the
laity generally could find nothing to
warrant the claim that such a fear was
well grounded. But we know better.
Prof. Irving Fishers bulletin of the
committee Of one hundred says: The
health department would mean death
to the quacks.' But a homeopath Is to
them Quack! They doubtless are
honest In their belief-hence 1t would
seem to them a bounden duty to sup
press all quacksl And If they are hon
est they will do their best to accom-
plish that end; they always have tried
to suppress us as quacks.
KEPT OUT OF ARMY
Already, without such legislation
and without a representative in the
cabinet, they are able to keep homeo-
pathic surgeons and all others not of
the miscalled regular school out of
ft1a ~ Il lii
ernmental professional positions.
"This can't be altogether accident,
nor because all others are unfit.
"There are nearly 1000 physicians
employed by the United States gov
ernment; all are allopathic-not one
is of any other school. Is this the re-
suit of accident or of design?
1.-THE National League for Medical
Freedom is doing and has already done
wonderful work in this matter; and
we all, every one of US, should Join
this association. 1t costs nothing but
the filling out of a blank, which the
league will furnish to all who may
apply, and a 2-cent stamp.
Our great need in the furtherance
Of both our professional and political
interests is more Of the old-time faith
and enthusiasm-the enthusiasm and
self-sacrif1ce Of Hahnemann and his
disciples and coworkers in the old
country; and of Herring, Guernsey,
Lippe, Dunham, the Aliens and others
in our own"
