A. N. A. Solid Against
Wagner Health Bill
In Delegates Vote
Held Contrary to Best
Interests Of American
People
BY the Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, May 18.-The Ameri-
can Medical Association, through
it's House of Delegates, was lined up
solidly today in opposition to the
Wagner health bill as contrary to
the best interests of the American
people"
A resolution. adopted by the 174
delegates in 20 minutes without a
dissenting vote, held the Wagner
bill fails to make use of existing
facilities for the sick poor and
would impose Federal control of
spending for the sick.
AS an alternative, the doctors
proposed starting with existing
facilities, expanding them and per-
mitting States to ask for and get
Federal aid as needed.
Statement Of Principle.
The resolution adopted yesterday
was in general terms, SO couched to
serve as statement of principles
to guide the thinking of doctors.
The A. M. A. and Federal authori-
ties are in agreement on the basic
principle, that tax monies be used
to help care for the INDECENT sick.
The bill, commonly called the
National Health Act of 1882 is an
amendment to the Social Security
Act of 1885 and is intended to make
effective a national health program
recommended by the Interdepart-
mental Committee to Coordinate
Health and Welfare Activities.
In condemning the bill, the Medi-
cal Associations resolution declared
the measure docs not safeguard in
any way the continued existence of
the private practitioners who have
always brought to the people bene-
fits of scientific research and treat
ment."
Other points brought out in the
resolution:
1t fails to provide for the use CT
the thousands of vacant beds now
available in hundreds of church and
community general hospitals.
1t proposes to make Federal AID
for medical care the rule rather
than the exception.
Needs Not Recognized.
1t does not recognize the need for
suitable food, sanitary housing ard
the improvement of other environ
mental conditions necessary to the
continuous prevention of disease.
The bill insidiously promotes de-
velopment of a complete system of
Unsupported governmental medical
care.
1t proposes complete medical serv-
ice in addition to compensation for
loss OF wages during illness.
Federal subsidies have invariably
involved Federal control
Any State in actual need for .Jrc-
vention of disease, promotion of
health and care of sick should be
able to obtain it without stimulating
every other State to seek and 10
accept similar aid. thus to have i'm
posed upon it the burden of Federal
control.
The mechanism by which this end
is to be accomplished must be de.
veloped by the executive and the
Congress. Such method would al
ford to every State an agency to
which it might apply for Federal
assistance without involving every
other State in the Union or the en-
tire Government. This would not
disturb permanently the American
concept of democratic government.

Mineral Springs
Nationally Known

fer the property. He started an
extensive advertising campaign,
advertising the water as 'medl-
cinal beverage, performing MI
raculous cures. Another feature
emphasized in the advertising
was that it is natures remedy
for the alienation and cure of
many of the ills to which the hu-
man family is subject. Through
its action in purifying the blood,
it imparts health to the skin and
gives clearness to the complex
ion :" And still another, "all
stomach and bowel diseases yield
1T once to this delicious spring
water. " ''The most remark
able discovery of the nineteenth
century,"
A number of medical journals
carried feature stories and edi-
torials about the curative and
healing characteristics of the
water. 1t was hailed as being
good to be used internally or
externally. Newspapers in the
north played it up as a sensation
al discovery.
AS a result of this advertising,
backed by hundreds of strong
testimonials, the demand for the
water from individuals and
druggists all over the north and
south was great.
The water was bottled at the
spring in one-half gallon bottles
and sold for $500 per case at
that time. The nearest railroad
station then was about 35 miles
away and for 10 years, from
about 1888 to 1898, it is estimat-
ed that an average of so wagons
a day were kept busy hauling
the water to the railroad sta
ton to be shipped to various
parts of the country.
Captain Thompson also built
hotel at the springs and started
the development of a resort. It's
popularity was so great that it
was overlooking all of the time.
Later Thompson sold to George
Palmer, wealthy Saltville,
Va, citizen whose interest was
primarily to have a private re-
sort or vacation place for him
self and his friends.
The promotion of the springs
slowed down as a result and in
about 1910, his daughter, Mrs.
Helen Wiley, sold the springs to
three Abingdon, Va, men-R. C..
! Copenhaven, J. w. Bell, and
John Hassinger-who formed a
Bromine-Arsenic Springs corpo-
ration.
They paid around 100000
for it and renewed the advertis-
ing campaign to some extent. but
their interest was also more or
less personal. To the hotel they
added several cottages and ex-
tended the accommodations to
take care Of around 100 guests
daily.

Last fall Mrs. J. B. Porter, of
Cheyenne, Wyoming, who was
born and reared in Ashe county
and member of a prominent
family, purchased the property
and has made a number of i'm
provements this year.

springs and who has built one
of the finest schools in the coun-

tries are the manufacture of
cheese, flooring and chairs. Lo-
Gated in West jefferson is one of
the largest Kraft-Phenix Cheese

around so farmers in the county,
are converted into Kraft-Ameri-
can processed cheese, packed IN
two and five pound boxes.
