What Outsiders Think Of
Audubon Flu" Cases
FROM The cRINNELL IOWA. HERALD, DECEMBER 81, 1918.

healer-cOrO should summon jury to
find the cause of the death of any one Of
our numerous flu patients and this jury
under his guidance should return verdict
that the death twas caused mainly by lack
of proper attention." Would this verdict
be construed as just verdict 80 far as it
affected the healing standing OF regular
physiciansf Not at ALL Nor will the
verdict quoted affect any person g feelings
regarding drugless healing If a citizen
believes in drugless healing he will still
employ drugless healer as he has legal
right to do. If he does not he will retain
the opinion he has always held-hence no
man is influenced by the verdict of the
Audubon county jury, and unless the jury
had information not contained in the short
newspaper story, it's apparently intended
attack on chiropractor is harmless except
to the jury itself, and the verdict must
stand as an evidence of injustice and pre-
JUDGE.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding as to the attitude of the
writer, let us say that when we wrap our
shroud about our frail body and pass to
the graves of our fathers, we expect to en-
ploy regular physician and whether it is
cure or kill we don't expect any relatives
to make fuss about it. AS matter of
fact we have four doctor relatives mighty
slightly removed from us.
Our right to hire physician is our
own. Mr.. Behler's right to hire drug
less healer was his own---a good many flu
patients have had no healer of any school
and so far as the Herald is concerned the
Herald will always stand for the right of
every man to determine for himself what
party ticket he will vote, what church he
will attend, what religious creed he will
subscribe to and what school Of hea]ers he
will have attend to him when he is sick, or
none at all if he chooses. If this is treas
on make the most of it.
The Herald thinks as it did two
years a~o that real Chiropractors should be
given legal standing in Iowa-but we do
not mean by this Chiropractors who pre-
tend to be such because they have taken in
a correspondence school of Chiropractic.
We say put Chiropractic on the
same standing in Iowa as Osteopathy,
prescribe reasonable amount of prepare
ton for them to make and stop trying to
dictate to a free people the kind of medi
cine they shall live or die by. And let us
say klnd WORD 10 the party VINO sent us
the clipping. We ought not to print a
contributed article to which no name is
signed We are not interested in adver-
f"i"o any narticular physician, and how
do we know that this article was not mail
cd us by chiropractor who wants lit
tie free advertising for his school. 1t sure
is pretty good advertising for them all
right and will do them more good than
harm.

Henry Behler, an Audubon county
farmer, died few days ago of the flu and
pneumonia. He had secured the services
of chiropractor. Upon his death it be-
came necessary to make out certificate OF
death. The story in the daily paper says
that under the law the chiropractor could
not make out such certificate and so was
compelled to report the case to the coroner.
The coroner is a regular physician. He
empaneled a Jury of three men who
promptly under the Coroner-Doctor'
guiding mind returned verdict of death
."caused mainly by lack of proper atten-
ton"
The item had no particular signifi-
canoe to US when we first read ia case OF
where chiropractor had lost patient
who had the flu and coroner's jury with
a regular physician to examine the case
had hung something on the chiropractor.
AS it wasn't of any great concern to us we
would soon have forgotten it. But We'd
nesday in our mail we found a Des Moines
Register in a wrapper bearing three
cent stamp postmarked at Grinnell, in
which the item referred to was marked
with a penciled request that we "copy
this"
We do not know whether the party
mailing the paper to the Herald with the
request that we copy it was trying to con-
vince us of, our own sin in fav oring a law
which will give chiropractors legal stand
ing in Iowa, or whether it was presumed
that this expert report of the findings of
physician coroner's jury would convince
our readers that a chiropractor is dan
gerous, citizen to have abroad in the land.
~ So far as the writer is concerned we
incline to the view that if Mr.. Behler and
his family would rather take their chances
with the flu under the ministering hand of
a drugless healer than under the admins
tering hand of dispenser of drugs it is
chiefly their own affair, and in no way de-
tracts from the skill of chiropractor or
adds any laurels to the brow of the regular
school.
However, we think that in this case
those who would use it to show the ineffi-
cheney of drugless healing have been rath-
er unfortunate. The question which
would recur to us is this: How many peo-
pie in Audubon county had the fluf How
many cases did the regular physicians
Josef How many did the chiropractor
Josef So far as we know there have been
no deaths from flu in Poweshiek county of
people who employed drugless healers-
Osteopaths, chiropractors, Vital Scientists
and Christian Scientists. We understand
many sick with the flu have resorted to
drugless healers for help. We presume
that since the flu appeared in this county
there have been from rs to 100 deaths as a
result of its ravages.
Suppose now we should have a Chi
,ropractor who is coroner-we do have an
osteopath-and suppose this drugless

THE WEDDING

ThETETHER OF CIRCUMSTANCE
Anie walked slowly home. The
girl Nena had thrown her mind into
chss. She began to realize the
"spb ideas" she had fallen into by
reson of her success and happiness
Sb began to examine her success
nre closely Success? She now had
telve dollars a week, and might get
farteen in a month or two. Four
ten would just about keep her family
cling, with tiny margin for rainy
ty-in case she or Aunt Moggie got
ok or something.
II she married Bernie right off, and
vent to housekeeping on his twenty
iollar wage, what would happen at
nome? Annie had lost sight OF these
ugly facts in her golden glow of love.
jamie was only eleven. 1t would
be five years before she would be
able to take Annies place as bread
winner for the family. Unless-unless
she started as Annie did, at barely
fourteen, in the basement of a store,
and then went into the factory. The
factory
Annie remembered and renewed
her self-imposed oath that never
never should jamie go into factory.
Better love deferred indefinitely. Bet
ter even break her engagement with
Bernie and leave him free to find
some girl who could bring him imme
date happiness. At this thought the
tears of despair gushed to her eyes
as she climbed the grimy stairs OF her
tenement She couldn't give Bernie
up. She must find some other way
out
They had not yet discussed the date
Of their wedding. The most definite
stamp which had been placed upon
their relation was Bernies insistence
on a ring. And this had so glorified
the situation that Armies thoughts
had not extended further for the time.
In due course the dear emblem ar
rived-a tiny diamond for which Ber-
ME had pledged himself to payments
for many future months. When he
had slipped it on her finger with "a
kiss for her. a kiss for him and a
third for both" Annie looked down
at it lovingly, but with a Wee CLEAN
Of worry in her eyes. She turned it
