John Mason Gooding. NJ D.. F. R. s., says, "The
science of medicine is a barbarous jargon" The
famous English surgeon, Wesley Cooper. says 1.-THE
science tof medicine IFS founded conjecture and
improved by murder" Hundreds of like opinions
from the best medical schools confirm the state
ment that diagnosis is simply guess work, and what
is the history of the three which
men are selected? For fifty years they have been
exhausting the English vocabulary find billings
gate and vtuperaton sufficiently vile and vindicive
to express their utter contempt and disregard for
each other Each school has fought with the other
in denouncing the ignorance and incompetency of
their opponents. Their wranglngs have been
red to such a degree that neither one would con-

But now, behold the sudden transformation. All
their lies and ISLANDERS are forgotten and gaze
upon three hearts that beat Three souls
with but single thought, and that thought how

phenomenal spectacle of these three old medical

upon YOU? This is the Ubiquitous class legislation
with which the medical guessers Of Utah at pres

continue by defeating the Chiropractic bill be-

Il Will you kindly note that the medical practice

During the fifty years fight between the old school
and the two medical kids who have just crawled
under their wing, doctors have been engaged in
