What we need here In Washington Is
a law which will set up standards for
the practice of drugless healing COM
parable to the standards to be met by
those who practice healing with drugs.
If a citizen chooses to go to chiro-
practor. an iridologist or naturopath
instead Of to a regular medical prac-
titioner, there should be no law to deny
him this right. But the citizen should
be protected. He should know that
when he visits this chiropractor. this
iridologist or this naturopath the man
in whose hands he places his health Is
sufficiently trained in the knowledge of
his arts to meet the grave responsible
ties imposed.
In acting upon this legislation Con-
gress must not try too hard to please
either the medical profession or the
practitioners Of drugless healing. They
are on opposite sides Of the fence. Con-
gress should remember first of all that
regulation is needed to protect the
public and should legislate on that
ground alone. regardless Of the protec-
ton 1t affords to members of the oppos-
ing camps.
