These new low prices make it a
folly to accept unknown brands in
order to save a few cents.

The Texas Practice Act is the
fairest regulatory lav/ ever written
by any state, and as non-discrim
inative as human judgment could
make it without sacrificing its pur-
pose—protection of the health of
all of our people. It would not be
non-discriminative if it gave way
gious disease;
If the West Texas Chiropractors
will go to the trouble of dissecting
a human body they will learn that

so firmly in place that they can-

to, or exempted, those who are in-
capable of meeting our require-
ments, and who, being unable to
recognize dangerous contagious, or
communicable diseases, could not
protect the public against exposure । any practitioner
to them. We put the question of fe" " "mo" i"
discrimination up to the reader’s
shot or stabbed to death. The
science of knowing what is natural
or normal, in the construction of
an organ or tissue of a human in
health, as distinguished from the
changes in size, structure, weight,
shape, color etc. produced by di-
sease. Without a knowledge of his-
tology one could not tell the dif-
ference between a healthy and a
diseased organ or tissue.
PATHOLOGY—from which one
learns the changes in size, shape,
color, structure etc, produced in
the organs and tissues of the body
by the various diseases; also the
changes produced in their secre-
tions, excretions etc. by disease.
One could not recognize Cancer,
Tuberculosis, Bright’s Disease,
Diabetes, Leprosy, Syphilis, Arth-
ritis, Malaria, Bubonic Plague,
Sleeping Sickness, Carcoma etc,,
without knowing the changes pro-
duced in the organs and tissues of
the body by these diseases.
BACTERIOLOGY — without a
knowledge of which it would be
impossible for one to know or re-
cognize in the field of a micro-
scope any one of the numerous
GERMS which may enter the or-
gans or tissues of a living human
to produce disease and, possibly,
death. These germs are as dis-i
cernible in the field of a micro-
scope as the bollweevil, potato bug
or the grasshopper is to the naked
eye. AU enlightened persons know
that Small Pox, Tuberculosis,
Riphtheria, Typhoid Fever, Sy-
philis etc,, are caused by GERMS,
notwithstanding the absurd state-
ment of the Chiropractor that all
diseases are due to a dislocated
rooms, public places; swimming
schools. The processes by which
health and life are maintained.
HYGIENE—That part of sani-
tary science which treats of the
preservation of health, and enables
one to protect himself and his pa-
tients against contagious and in-
fections; how to make a room safe
for occupancy after recent confine-
unbiased judgment.
In order to give our people the
protection intended by the Consti-
tution, the Legislature wisely
provided that every person who
would undertake the treatment of
the sick in this state, as a means
of livelihood, shall submit to a
test of education and the training
in the fundamental natural sciences
involved in the maintenance of the
health and life of a human being.
The subjects, and brief reasons for
making a practical knowledge of
each of them a requirement for
license are as follows:
ANATOMY—the science which
names, describes, gives location in
the body, size, shape, weight, at-
tachments, blood supply, nerves,
ducts, cavities, etc., of the organs
and tissues of the body and their
relations with other organs or
parts. One could not know or lo-
cate the numerous parts of the
body without a knowledge of ana-
tomy.
HISTOLOGY—from a study of
which one learns the minute struc-
ture and composition of the great
number of organs and tissues of

are the BUCKSHOT we deserve
for trespassing. When Chiroprac-
tors preach and practice and try
to become physicians, then it is
justifiable for the medical man to
educate the Chiropractor. Beat that
argument if you can. This will be
I the last time you will see me as a
Chiropractor, as I do not propose
to lose my money fighting against
sound arguments.” (For evidence
of the truth of Dr. Palmer’s state-
ments, it is only necessary to read
Chiropractor’s advertisements in
newspapers and Telephone Direc-
tories.)
2nd. In providing for a law to
protect the people of Texas from
the then frightful loss of life in
the South, due to pestilential and
contagious diseases, and to govern
the treatment of sick, injured or
deformed persons in this state, the
framers of the Constitution rightly
declared that in the construction
of such a law no school, or system
of medicine or rational method of
practice should be discriminated
against; that identical qualifica-
tion should be required of all appli-
cants for license to treat the sick,
regardless of college of graduation
or method of practice.
3rd. The authors of the Texas
Medical Practice Act—designed
solely to protect the life and health
of our people, and to assure them
that when a doctor is licensed by
this state he has proved to the
satisfaction of the state that he is
capable of giving the service ex-
pected of him, not the promoter of
any school, or system, of medicine
or group of practioners—reiter-
ated the prohibition of discrimina-
tion against any school of practice,
and further declared that no
school, or system, of medicine shall
have a majority representation on
the Board of Examiners; that any
licensed doctor—Allopath, Homeo-
path, Electric, Osteopath, Chiro-
practor, Naturopath or what not,
may be appointed to membership
on the examining board, provided
he has been legalized in Texas
three or more years.—(The pre-
sent board is compised of Al-
lopaths, Homeopaths, Electrics and

and impartially trying to safe-
guard the health and the lives
of our people.)—that no per-

Since the “Radio Post” of Octo-
ber 12th published a full-page
advertisement, signed and paid for
by West Texas Chiropractors, who
criticised one of our Legislative
enactments, the State Board of
Medical Examiners and the reput-
able practioners of medicine in this
state, and was so full of flagrant
misreprestations and of insinuating
reflections on the knowledge, judg-
ment, sincerity and fairness of the
registered medical profession gen-
erally, we, licensed practitioners of
this * city, respectfully request
space in your paper for an unpre-
judiced statement of facts, which
the public should know, as follows:
First we shall call upon “Dr.”
B. J. Palmer, the founder of Chiro-
practic, to answer some of the
arguments offered in the adver-
tisement of the West Texas Chiro-
practors.
Addressing a convention meeting
of Chiropractors in Philadelphia,
on February 26th, 1928, Dr. Palm-
er said: “Fully 80 percent of the
Chiropractors of Pennsylvania are
practicing MEDICINE, not Chiro-
practic. This is the sorry fact, gen-
tlemen, we are practicing medicine.
During the last year I have been in
every state of the Union, and this
condition exists throughout. My
ideals were shattered. Chiropractic
is doomed. You have drifted so far
away from the basic principles of
Chiropractic that you have lost
your identity, and brought the
BASIC SCIENCE BILLS ON
YOUR HEADS. Twenty-eight
Chiropratic schools have been
closed recently, and many others
will follow. The SUPPREME
COURT of seven of the states
have handed down legal injunc-
tions in the last eighteen months,
whereby these states are lost for-
ever to Chiropractic. I warned
Ohio not to compromise, but they
tried to pass a BILL ENGROSS-
ING MEDICAL PRINCIPLES &
PRACTICES. It lost by 250,000
votes. $250,000 of Chiropractic
money was spent in California last of the body
year. You cannot defeat the ends “ " """
of science. The Basic Science Bills
.... ..... .. ____________, displaced, except by fracture or as
Diphtheria, Scarlet Feevr, Measles, the result of caries or tuberculosis
of their bony parts. If this were
not true, what would happen to the
contortionist and the hunchback, i
whose service the former desires.
But other residents of the city or
community also have inalienable
rights, and one of them is the
right to prevent the jeopardizing
of their health or lives by an in-
competent plumber or an ignorant
doctor, whose lack of knowledge is
likely to expose them to great dan-
ger. It is the plain duty of the
state to demand evidence of fitness
of the man who offers his service
for hire. It is the only way the
public may know whether one is
capable of giving the service ex-
pected of him. The state protects
its hogs, cattle, sheep etc., why
not its humans? Why are the
Chiropractors asking for a law to
prevent the next fellow who comes
along from doing what they are
now doing? He would claim the
same inalienable right that they
are now talking about. Why give
them a monoply in the possession
of inalienable rights ?
If the West Texas Chiropractors
are educated, as they say they are,
why don’t they prove it by pre-
senting themselves to the Board
of Examiners in examination for
license as the allopaths, Homeo-
paths, Eclectics, and Osteopaths
have done? If they can qualify,
they can get license; nothing but
their lack of education and train-
ing in the previously mentioned es-
sential, fundamental sciences pre-
vents it. Only one of them has ever
made the slightest pretense of ap-
pearing before the board for li-
cense. They have preferred to ig-
nore our law and defy our courts.
The one mentioned was told by
the Attorney General of Texas
that he could not be admitted to
the Texas examination because he
had attended a Chiropractic Col-
drinking water, Milk;
tion for license who is not a gradu-
ate of a reputable medical school—
(The words, Medical School, as
used in the law, embrace all of the
schools, or colleges, that teach the
art of healing); that “such schools
shall be considered reputable with-
in the meaning of this law, whose
entrance requirements and course
of instrutctions are as high as
those adopted by the better class
of medical schools in the United
States, whose course of instruction
shall embrace four terms of not
less than eight months each”; that
all candidates in examination for
license in any one of the board’s
semi-annual sessions shall be given
identical questions, in a written
examination (without questions on
drugs or treatment, except when
the treatment is manual or me-
chanical, as in surgery, obstetrics
etc.), in the same room and at the
same time; that the examinees
Chiropractors have not given at-
tention to diseased, burden-bearing
animals, as the Ox, Horse, Mule
etc. We do not know what the
other animals would do about it,
but we do know where to look for
the Chiro who attempted adjust-
ment in the case of a mule?
The people of Texas should know
that insistence by government that
those who would attempt the
treatment of humans for a fee
shall be adequately educated and
trained in the science of healing
that pushed up the average length
of human life from 20 years, in
1600, to 60 years or thereabout in
1934; that it was an educated and
trained and licensed physician who
stopped the ravages of Cholera,
Typhoid Fever, Tuberculosis—the
death rate of the latter is less
than half what it was in 1900;
Meningitis, Flue, Bubonic Plague,
diarrhoeas and Summer Complaint
among our children, one-fourth of
whom were lost before the third
year, Malaria and Yellow Fever.
We are sure they do not want to
go back to the days and nights of
terror—when long lines of hearses,
trucks and drays traversed the
streets of New Orleans, Mobile,
Jacksonville, Savannah, Memphis,
and other southern cities; etc.,
hauling to the graveyard, under
cover of darkness, the victims of
the Yellow Pestilence of the pre-
ceding day; when those who by
flight had hoped to escape a fate
that had befallen loved ones and
friends were driven from out-going
trains and forced in quarantine
camps, there to remain as prison-
ers, with scant if any attention,
until they were released or, as fre-
quently happened, died and filled
an unmarked grave. But Dixieland
was rescued from a scourge that
had decimated and impoverished
it, for there came an educated,
licensed physician, with a micro-
scope in one hand and a book on
Bacteriology in the other, and
with him came the dawn of a new
day in Dixie—an era of health,
progress and prosperity seldom
equalled in history. We believe the
people of Texas will agree with us
that such security to health and
life is worth while, and fully justi-
fies the enforcement of adequate
qualification on the part of those
who offer to treat the sick as a
means of livelihood.

the resistence to overcome them
got well without an adjustment of
the spine, which could not have
happened if a dislocated, vertebrae
or a pinched nerve was the cause
of disease, as the disease would
have continued until vertebrae had
been replaced or the pinch remov-
ed. Why so-called intelligent
persons will fall for such argu-
ment is beyond comprehension.
The West Texas Chiropractors
know that the privilege of a sick
person to have the doctor or re-
medy- of choice is not denied by
the state, as it is an inalienable
and possibly convulsions and
death, and how to avoid dangerous
infections. The women of Texas
are entitled to have the ordeal of
childbirth made as safe as human
skill can make it. For those women
who have been along the road,
their common sense teaches them
to know adjusting their spine will
get them nowhere, except possibly
to the grave.
SURGERY—a knowledge of
which enables one to remove tu-
mors which threaten life, diseased
organs or parts, as visceral abs-
cess, an appendix, gall-stone gall

remove bullets; repair organs, as

ed by knife, dagger or bullet; re-
place fragments of broken bones or
dislocated bones, so as to restore
an injured member to its former
usefulness. Hundreds of thousands
of persons have been saved to live
useful and happy lives by skillful
surgery. Why every practitioner
should have a practical knowledge
of surgery is too obvious to need
explanation.
DIAGNOSIS—THE SCIENCE
OF KNOWING THE NAME AND
NATURE OF A DISEASE from
their symptoms, signs, and patho-
logic findings by laboratory tests
etc. It must be obvious to any in-
telligent person why one should
be educated and trained in Diag-
nosis, in order to be prepared to
distinguish a contagious disease
from a non-contagious one. With
out ability to tell when one has
Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Flue,
Meningitis, Infantile Paralysis,
Small Pox, Typhoid Fever, Syphil-
is and other dangerous diseases,
how could a practitioner protect
the people of a city or community
against exposure to it. That one
who is without diagnostic ability is
a menace, not only to the public
but to the patient whom he at-
tempts to treat is so apparent that
even a stupid person should un-
derstand
JURISPRUDENCE—which pre-
pares a practitioner for appearance
in the courts, to say whether a
wound in a certain part of the body
would cause death; to testify on
gun-shot wounds in murder cases;
to decide whether a recently born
baby had been born alive; to tell
what drug or drugs were found in
the organs or tissues of a person
found dead, in suspected poisoning;
to testify to the sanity or insanity
of a person; to decide inheritance,
in the case of contesting relatives
&c„ &c.
The foregoing are the 12 subjects
of the Texas examinations for lic-
ense and we believe that any un-
prejudiced person will agree that a
practical knowledge of each of
them is the least that could con-
sistently be approved for license to
treat the sick by any government,
state or national, having the health
and welfare of its people at heart.

vertebrae or a pinched nerve,
which, if true, would mean that a
person could not get well of any
disease until his spine had been
adjusted—what a fallacy,
CHEMISTRY—from which one
learns the various chemical and
electrical reactions that are taking
place in organs and tissues of the
body every minute of one’s exist-
ence, as the chemical transforma-
tion of foods in the mouth, stomach
intestines and liver in the process
of digestion, in a healthy person;
the elaboration of bile in the liver;
the composition of the blood, bile,
gastric, intestinal and glandular
secretions; the excretions, as of
the kidneys etc. It , is impossible
to know what is going on in the
body in health or disease without
a working knowledge of Physiolo-
gical Chemistry, and many disease
cannot be positively diagnosed
without resorting to it. To make
chemical analyses of the blood, se-
cretions and excretions of the var-
ious organs of the body is the
purpose of maintaining the expen-
sive laboratories in the modern
hospitals, in fact, no hospital
would be considered efficient with-
out such laboratory facilities.

function of, or the work done by
every organ or part of a human
