MEDICAL CULTS INCREASE.
Public Endangered by Lowering
of Requirements.

The Ohio state Medical Board is max
ing an attempt to regulate the medical
cults I'm Ohio under the new law. says the
Journal of American Medical Associa-
ticn. The situation in that State fur
nishes an excellent illustration OF the
utter absurdty Of the conditions which
must result in any attempt TO recognize
by legislation the various medical cults
which are continually springing up and
demanding the right to practice medicine
under lower educational standards than
are required OF physicians.
The fact that fourteen different cults
are specifically mentioned in the Ohio
laws shows how ridiculous the situation
has become. Much confusion already eN-
lists in all but a few OF the States in
which there has been legisIa ton recog-
mixing sectarianism or cults. The New
York legislature, in 1901, recognizing the
possibility of an endless number and va
riety OF cults arising in the future, re-
fused to recognize any. and provided a
single license and the same educational
qualification for all who desired to treat
the sick. Similar action has recently
been taken by the New Hampshire leg
Isiature
I'm other States the measures thus far
provided as the result of the clamor OF
these cults have been compromises: they
have resulted in lowering. to a greater
or less extent. the minimum Gualifica-
tons of those who are to practice the
healing art, and to the same extent sub
jecting the public TO the danger of ignor-
ance and incompetence from those so
