all these measures instead of the word vord drugs which they use exclusively in their practice These definitions have been forged to meet emergencies so that the doctors could denounce as as irregular

which in the words of Dr Wilcox chairman of the last Homeopathic convention at Atlantic City in 1914 said in his opening speech The American Medical association association association asso asso- has degenerated into a vast political machine machine ma ma- chine bent on throttling everything that stands in its way vay for medical supremacy It has leas made madean Illadean an unholy alliance with the army anny and navy depar departments de de- departments par and between them then they propose to own and control every evert state and municipal hospital hospital hos hos- pital every medical college in the country and to control every license board in f r this broad United States the objective point being to strangle and smother every form of healing except except except ex ex- ex- ex the old-fashioned old allopathic method In other othe words you are if possible to have state medicine whether good or bad and the right to call the practitioner of your choice is denied you because by eliminating all other methods of healing and denying recognition to other schools there will be none but the to tot t III IV care for the sick This is the great object of the medical trust working through the political doctor A member of this association binds himself to carry put out all orders and dictates of the association following ving a set of regulations and andrules andrules andrules
