Show CHIROPRACTOR VERSUS THE PHYSICIANS The Chiropractor has nothing against tho Physician personally, but ho does resent being classed as lncotnpotent compared to tho medical medi-cal practitioners competing. There aro competent and incompotent physicians phy-sicians as well as competent and Incompetent Chiropractors. Hero I wish to compliment tho physicians for raising their standard of elllclency. The chiropractors aro trying to do tho sumo thing, but will not accept a medical standard. As well asl: a carpenter to comply with a standard set by a mason just becauso they both build houses. A chiropractor could not tako tho medical examination if ho would, for tho first requirement is "you must bo a graduato of a recognized medical medi-cal college." A medical school does" not teach Chiropractic, therefore, I leavo It to tho reader to seo tho fallacy fal-lacy In tho statements of tho Stato Medical Hoard. Tho best medical diagnosticians In tho United States admit thoy aro wrong in fifty per cent of their diagnosis, or if thoy treated those patients they would bo giving medl-cino medl-cino ono half of tho tlmo for something some-thing tho patient did not have. By tho Chiropractor's method ot analysis an-alysis they are itblo to agreo on nine-1 ty-flve per cent ot the' cases, and we do not seo whrro It would ralso our standard ot efficiency by taking up tho modlcal method of diagnosis. At tho present Leglslaturo the Chiropractors pro trying to pass a bill providing for a self-supporting board of examiners, so as to raise our presont standard and mako Chiropractic a recognized profession In tho btato of Utah. It Is for tho bcnflt of the people that wo aro working, for wo do not have to stay In this state. Thcro aro forty-six other status that wo can practlco in. Thero being only ono other stato which has tho Injunction In-junction clauso In Its statutes. If tho physicians aro tho guardians guard-ians of tho peoplo and havo their Interests In-terests at heart, as they claim to havo, they will help Instead of antagonizing antag-onizing us. O. L.
