Why are
ClliropractOrS
Being Arrested?


Chiropractors are willing and
anxious to be examined but not by
their competitors their sworn
enemies. The chirUpractors of Ohio
want the Legislature to pass bill to
take them out from under the selfish
control of their competitors and
place them under tire control of a:
board of cnrOpractic examiners
whose duty 1T would be to pass up
on the qualifications of chiroprac-
tors Surely this is fair and reason
able. All the chiropractors want is
square deal" and they are willing
| to go TO jail IN this battle against
medical autucracy and it's unfair
methods.
The osteopaths OF Ohio agreed to
be examined by the medical men as
did the homes paths--and what was
the outcome? The 1fomeopaths are
gradually being eliminated from the
state; even the homeopathic college
at Ohio State University was exter-,
minated but Jew months ago by
the medical trust. The same thing
happened to the homeopathic school
at Ann ATbur.
And where are the sosteopaths in
Ohio today? They are being exter-
minated very rapidly. TN 1921 out.
of the many applicants for exami-
nation only EIGHT We're successful
ly passed by the board and during
the first eight months of 1922 only
SIX osteopaThs were granted licen-
ses by this autocratic board in this
great state of several million peo-
pie.
Knowing the fate of the osteo-
paths and homeOpaths can you
blame the chiropractors for not walk
ing into the open trap" set for
them by the medical trust! Ger
tainly not. No sane person would.
Thousands of cases in OHIO that
nave been given up as hopeless"
by the medical profession 'haye re-
gained their health through chiro
pTactic adjustments The medical
men are constantly reminded by
their former hopeless patients
THAT they are WELL and that they
regained their health through chiro
practic.
Facing these facts, is it any won
der that the medics are persecatiag
chiropractors at the tax payers ex-
pense?
If the medical men want to meet I
with success in this war Of extermin-
alton Fbeing waged against the Chi /
ropractor let them follow the advice
OF their own great leader. DR.. J. T. /.
Baldwin who says that the best way .
to exterminate the chiropractor is
for the medical doctor to remove
the beam from his own eye before
attempting TO remove the mote from
the eyes of others.
Chiropractors who have been con
victed in various parts of the state
have accepted jail sentences in lieu
of paying fines, not because they
WANT to go 10 JAIL, but as a pro-
test against one Of the most Unfair
and un-American laws that was ever
jammed through legislature by
medical interests.
Chiropractors have declared they
will ''rot in Jail" before they tJill |
pay a fine because ALL SUCH /
FINES are not paid into the state /
treasury. but into the POCKETS Of
the MEDICAL BOARD. Thus you
see the medics will use such h:!es
with which to arrest other chiroprac-
tors. You see the medics have ar
ranged their law that chiropractors
not only pay our own funeral ex-
penses" but dig our own graves"
as well.
why are chiropractors denied
trial by jury?

the Ohio state medical board has
