to take up the argument for the bill.
He said the naturopaths were asking
only the same rights which had been
granted to chiropractors and ostco-
paths. who were licensed over the
opposition of the medical men. The
merits of the bill had been weighed
by the committee which had revised
1t to meet the objections Of the medi-
cal doctors, he said.
Black Sheep Everywhere
Contending that what some naturo-
paths may have done elsewhere
should no be considered in voting on
the bill, Patterson said not all medi-
Cal doctors were above reproach and
that every lodge. church or other or
ganization doubtless include some
black sheep.
If many of those little mounds Of
earth in our cemeteries could talk
they would send many a medical doc
tor scurrying to cover Patterson
said. He contended that citizens
should have the right to select what
practitioner they wanted to attend
them.
Since introducing the bill. he said,
he has been threatened by medical
doctors who told him they would
malign him and conduct q campaign
to defeat him in the next election,
Patterson said.
D. H. Hamilton, McHenry county.
supported Patterson. He said he had
gained his education by experience
and that he had learned enough to
favor anything which would keep
people out Of hospitals. The medical
men. he said. passed law making it
difficult for anyone to qualify to be-
come a physician and then formed
clinics for the purpose of keeping out
competition and gouging the people.
At the last session, he said, he was
taken i'll and physician wanted him
to go to q hospital but he refused
Instead, he said, he called a chiro-
practor and was cured in one treat
ment.
Shortly thereafter another legisla-
tor was taken Ill in the same manner
and went to q hospital. Six days
later, Hamilton said, he was dead.
His Friend Cured
Ole Ettestad, McHenry county, said
the arguments advanced against the
naturopaths had been advanced
against other unorthodox branches Of
the medical profession. He told Of a
friend whom medical men had de-
SPARED Of curing but who was cured
by q chiropractor, and demanded to
know why a tight fence should be
built around the medical profession
II other practitioners could be OF
benefit to humanity.
Hyland offered an amendment to
require naturopaths to spend the
same time in educational preparation
as Is required OF medical men. Pat
terson fought it on the ground that
1t was not offered in good faith. The
amendment was beaten, 20 to "a.
Hyland thercupon launched into q
defense of the medical men, telling
how the head of q famous clinic had
saved his life and had benefited those
dear to him and had not charged
much for his services.
Hamilton countered with q recita-
ton how one near. and dear to him
had gone to the same clinic, that It
cost him three quarter sections Of
land and at the end Of four years all
he had was q grave and the Job Of
rearing his orphaned children alone
on the bare prairie.
Scores 'Inoculation'
Patterson said the idea Of the
naturopath Is. to prevent disease by
keeping bodies well and clean. He
charged the medical practitioners
with injecting monkey pus into school
children on the ground that 1t In
creased their resistance to disease.
He branded incubation as "balder-
dash and tommryot."
