Give Public Real and Unbiased
Report Oppose Cultists
Who Cure By Medical Gym
nastics Must Be Able to
Recognize Disease. .
: CHICAGO, June 21. A commis
sion of unbiased scientific investiga
tors to make a critical study of all
systems of medicine and methods
supposed to cure people to analyze the
claims of each, then give the public
the truth about the art of healing
was proposed today by Dr. David A.
Strickler of Denver, president of the
federation of state medical boards in
the United Stales, before the 7Sth an
nual convention of the American in
stitute of homeopathy.
.. Dr. Sti'lckler pointed out difficul
ties of establishing high educational
standards of persons who are licensed
to practice medicine or the various
healing arts.
- "The cause of this difficulty of es
tablishing a high educational stand
ard is mainly duo to the opposition by
cultists, who without basic training
in science or adequate knowledge of
the structure, functions and disease
ot the hitman body, yet contend for
the right to practice a system of heal
ing which they have conceived or
learned in a short time, oven by some
system of medical gymnastics known
only to tho teachers of that particular
cult," he said.
Many of our legislators are them
selves without education or know
ledge of any ot the sciences, hence,
have no comprehension of the need
of basic knowledge in the study of
anatomy, physiology and pathology
XXo one is safe in the. interest of
public health who cannot recognize
j tne more common contagious and
I communicable diseases. rnereiore,
the least that the state should re
quire of the applicant to practice the
healing art Is to show a knowledge
of disease which Is deemed necessary
to recognize it in its common forms..
