the osteopaths l believe if you deny
them the right to administer drugs
externally. they would not have any
right to use oils or drugs Of any
kind in their rubbing. The next Oh
lection that they raised vas. that
under the terms of the bill persons
who had been practicing osteopathy
we're allowed TO come in without eN-
amination: exactly the same provi-
sion that was written into the medi-
cal examination bill when that was
passed; the examination for adnlis-
sion to the Bar. dentistry. veteri-
nary surgery and every other regu-
lated act that has ever been passed.
Not only that. but the men who
raised the objection were the very
men, who. by their opposition in
this Legislature every session for the
last five sessions. have prevented the
csteopaths from getting regulatory
bill by.
Now this Section l. that they want
to strike out, l do not know that it
accomplishes any purpose in the bill,
because Section Is of Chapter is OF
the Revised Statutes, as the gentle
man from Winterport has read. now
provides that the preceding section
that is. the examination sections
shall not apply to persons practicing
osteopathy: but It looks to me as If
they wanted to strike out that sec
ton SO that possibly they might tie
up the osteopaths on the ground that
i !, a
terms Of Section 10 OF Chapter Is.
Now Section L. is simply this: The
system. method. or science OF treat
Ing diseases OF the human body.
commonly known as osteopathy. is
hereby declared not TO be the pTac-
tee of medicine Within the mean
ing Of Sections 9, 10. II. l.. Is, IA
and Is OF Chapter is" Chapter Is.
Section Is. says: It Mess duly res
ls,ered by said board. no person shall
practice medicine or surgery. or
any branch thereof" except under 4
penalty This Section /: will not
give the osteopath any right that he
has not now by law. and any fair
minded man cannot object to il. /
believe. as matter of simple JUS
tice 10 these men who are practic-
ing. and 10 these men who want
10 be treated by the men who are
practicing. and who want TO know
that q man who hangs our the sign
OF an os,eorath has the education
0. an osteorarh. that the time has
come when Name ought 20 register
them.
