Doctors
EDITOR THE TIMES:

among them; on the land there
are the beasts of prey.
The human family Is not exempt
from analogous specimens. There
are vampires and vultures among
all classes, trades and professions
But more especially so among the
allopathic, or regulars, as these
doctors choose to call themselves
Where do all these doctors
come from? The rich man who
has a son mentally unqualified to
be a lawyer, morally untitled to
be made a minister, and who has
not the capacity to make a sue
cessful business man; 1t is very
likely that this son will be sent
away to one of the schools OF
Americas medical trust.
There he may acquire, parrot
like, the names of the various Or
gans of the body, and, by tolerably
hard study, a passable knowledge
of the ~dispensatory. He conceals
his natural incapacity in the dust
OF technicalities
These medical colleges are an
nually grinding out these grating
II Quaek doctors as numerously as
our American factories are turn
ing out plain pins. These young
doctors are protected by laws,
made by doctors, and for the doc
tors, only.
In every city like Tacoma and
in almost every small town and
village, you will find medical
society or small branch of the
A. NJ. A., American Medical Assn.
This is the medical trust of Amer
lea. This society is composed of
allopathic doctors who call them
selves regulars, as IL no other but
their class were regular doctors.
This school of doctors, or trust,
controls the United States in medi-
cine.
The medical officers and at
tendants of the u. S. army and
navy are 9S per cent allopathic.
Every state board of medical ex-
aminers in the U. s. has rs per
cent of the members upon 1t al
lopathic or members Of the medi-
cine trust. Every city, town or
village in the u. S. that has a
board Of health is controlled by
the A, NJ. A. trust. Their word is
law, in this free and independent
America. If they say your child
must be vaccinated or that your
child needs to be cut up, or that
your father shall be isolated upon
some lonely island, such must be
done.
Why should only one body OF
doctors dictate to ITO, 900, 900 peo-
pie, to make laws for which free
and Independent Americans can
do nothing?
If you have ever read the con-
stitution of the U. s., think you
will find that the laws of Wash.
ington as well as the laws Of most
every state In the Union, have vio-
lated the rights of the American
people by framing demonstrations
al laws for the medicine trust.
Twice in the state of Washington
has the medical freedom bill been
laid to rest by Gov. Lister. You
owe it to yourself, your wife, your
young daughter, your son and
neighbors to demand laws and law
makers that will enable you and
yours protection from these legi-
tized robbers, and legalized MUIR
derers. You owe these doctors
nothing.
They have advanced very little
in medicine, and surgery with Its
butchering doctors has destroyed
more lives than earthquakes, fam
line, pestilence and disease in the
last 10 years.
Fathers, don't you think that
you should put forth your best ef-
forts to stop this kind of legalized
murder, and to demand laws that
will prosecute such numbering
quacks, and mete out to them pen
alties as received by any othel

The old colored "aunty" of the
