believes that a clause IN assembly bill
No 222o, amending the state medical
law which passed the assembly on May
.. is designed TO make the practice of
Christian Science by the heaIers OF the

was introduced by Lafay G. WiIkie OF

tion OF one Of the fundamental tenets OF
the church.
In statement issued to-day by Mr..
Cox it is said that the bill is on its face
harmless. but that # contains a Joker
that would be far reaching in its effects.
The publication committee also states
that from the viewpoint Of the Christian
Scientists, the impression seems 20 pre-

certain doctors who are not members of
reputable societies or else with some So
