board of health, as our competitor
would have you believe. Why have
the people of % states given US chi
ropractic examining boards? 1t will
only be question of time until ev-
cry state in the union will have CHI
ropractic boards The taxpayers re-
alize that they are being compelled
to pay more taxes in order that the
medical board may carry on their
war against competition, because
the taxpayers pay for our upkeep in
jail.
All we have to do to see the
ridiculous part of this situation is
to look back a few years. When
homeopathy was new, the medics
fought them. Finally homeopathy
won out. Then when osteopathy
came upon the scene, the homeo-
paths joined the medics to tight the
osteopaths; now comes chiropractic
few years later, and the Osteo-
chiropractors. Strange, is it not?
Osteopathy is years older than Chi
ropractic, but why are there less
than 10000 osteopaths in America
and close to 10000 chiropractors?
This is why: NOsteopathy is no
longer a drugless method. 1t has
been absorbed by medicine, due to
the fact that they compromised with
the medical boards of various states,
when they were having their fight
for recognition, which we chiroprac-
tors are now going through, and
when you compromise with your en-
emy, you lose. Some osteopaths
practice as much medicine as they
do osteopathy Chiropractic has
never compromised with one single
state. medical board. so we will new
er be monopolized by SCIENCE, en-
tirely foreign to chiropractic.
Yes, we claim and maintain that
the medical board is unfair-to, chiro-
practors, and the people of Ohio and
the judges of Ohio are fast becom-
ing aware of this, due to the fact
that out of over 300 Jail sentences
in Ohio, less than 10 chiropractors
are now in Jail. Only four out of
80 some-odd have served their full
time This shows the trend of pub
lie opinion very clearly.
The recognized chiropractic
schools are now giving three-year
courses of six months each. or over
4,0O0-6O-minute hours. The Palm
er School of Chiropractic, of Daven-
port. Iowa, the oldest and largest
chiropractic school in the world, of
which we are graduates, has close to
10000 successful graduates. 1t is
true, there are some short-term
schools, but we are fast doing away
with them. because in states where
there are chiropractic examining
boards, these inefficient men have
no chance whatever. Every method
of healing has these inferior schools
to contend with, but that has moth
ing to do with the present situation.
We wish to state in conclusion,
that at the Palmer School of Chiro-
practic, one of the several recog
nized schools of chiropractic, no
correspondence courses are given,
and no so-calied short term. Each
student completes course OF
41O3k Commute hours. The stud
les include anatomy, physiology. or
thopedy, chemistry, symptomatolo--
gy, philosophy, technique, spinal an
alysis, neurology, spinography, path
ology, hygiene and gynecology. So
you see a graduate chiropractor is
not altogether ignorant, as our COM
petitors would have the public be-
lieve
Our competitor brings out the
fact that we do not study diagnosis
nor bacteriology; but will wish to-
state that these are not chiroprac-
tic subjects. We have a more eff
ficient method of finding the cause
of human ills, which is spinal an
alysis, proven to be so per cent cor
