The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-07-24

OF July 1SC, L see Win pain
& and modification announce
ment. of a so-called Medical Prac-
tice bill, by Mr.. Darlington, of
Richmond, which, according to your
brief summary of the purport of it,
is not only astounding but repre-
hensible. You say the bill is de-
signed to war upon the quack doctor.
l emphatically deny it. 1t does not
contain single element in that di-
rection, but bears upon it's face self
conviction. A baser usurpation and
a more perfidiOus attempt at the
adjustment Of individual and human
rights has never been before pre-
scented to a Georgia legislature. 1t
virtually says that Eclecticism,
Homeopathy, new or reform school
shall go. That they in thirty days
time dare not raise their heads; that
the people shall be chained to the
Juggernaut car of Allopathy, whose
lshibboleth and motto is: Produce
one disease to cure another" carry
ing us back one hundred years or
more to the time of Hippocrates to
Calomel and the Lancet, when it re-
quired only short space of time to
fill country graveyard. 1t virtually
says to every citizen of Georgia that
your choice is gone as to what you
will or will not take when you are
sick.
Now, is not that a shrewd and sub
tie trick? Five Allopaths to the three
Eclectics and Homeopaths. In the
name of High Heaven, what could
those three do with or against those
five? They would be powerless-
a nonetity. A perfdious trick of old
Allopathy, which she has been trying
for centuries and ages to perpetuate
herself, right or wrong.
Why no Eclectic or Homeopath
with any sense, merit, learning or
standing would be such an infatuated
fool as to accept a position upon
such a clap-trap usurpation and
fraud. No one but base know
nothing political demagogue of the
lowest order and type that will stoop
to anything no matter how depraved
would accept such a position.
You say the bill has the support
of the best Allopathic, Homeopathic
and Eclectic practitioners of the
State. AS to the two latter I deny
it. | demand their names. When
given I will show you who they are.
Is not every person fool about that
of which he is ignorant? Here in
this bill you propose to enact that
identical thing by placing five Ga ma
jority) Allopathic ignoramuses to
preside, examine and pass upon the
qualifications, merits and dement's
Of Eclectics and Homeopathics.
Let the boards remain as they are.
If you want to reach the evil of which
you complain, purge the boards,
Do not appoint any of these
detestable know-nothing political
Demagogues, who seek for and strive
for the place in order to give them
undue prominence because that is the
only stock which they have in trade.
Should the Georgia legislature be
thrown off it's Ought-tobe equilibrium
upon so vital a question as this,
which concerns the liberty and the
vital choice of every citizen of Geor-
gia, by the base Vaccinations Of
Allopathy, then God help and pity
us, from our worse than Gear and
Russian surfdom.
Show your colors, Mr.. Constitu-
ton, whether you are for the right
or the wrong; whether for the peo-
pie, liberty, free speech, liberty of
the press, distributive justice, or for
robbery, usurpation, oppression and
wrong.
1 appeal to you to help us in all
Righteousness to help drive back
this Hydraheaded monster of iniquity
