CHIROPRAeToRs PLAN Eight
AGAINST MEDICAL BILL

A vigorous fight against the enactment
of q: bill before the Connecticut state leg
isla&ure that would put ali practitioners
of the art Of healing under the control
of an organization of medical doctors OF
the state was decided upon at. meeting
of the chiropractors. They decided to
appear at hearing soon to be held in
Hartford before the legislative public
health and safety Committee on tbs bill.
which is known as An act concerning the
practice of Medicine" House Bill $780,
Opposition to the bill, which applies TO
osteopaths, dentists, optometrists, chiro-
iIodists, midwives and nurses, as well as
chiropractors, centers in the fact that
the laws under which these practitioners
now operate would be entirely discarded
and medical doctors would be given regu-
lative control over all Of these others.
The bill calls for the state department
Of health to appoint a board Of examin-
ers before whom all applicants for the
right to unlimited licenses for the prac-
tice Of the healing arts must appear. This
board is to determine the fitness Of such
applicants to receive a license. it is the
makeup Of this board that gals the prac-
tition ers who are making a protest. The
bill states that this board shall be COM
posed of four members of the Connecticut
! State Medical society and two members
Of the Connecticut Homeopathic society
ktogether with the state health commits
sioner, himself a medica. man.
A board Of examiners of those who will
