He is the very lively president of the Anti-Compulsory Vaccination So­ ciety of the District of Columbia, which society has recently resolved to test compulsory vaccina­ tion in the courts of' the District, and, if neces­ sary, carry the case to Congress. The Washington vaccinationists are up in arms against the movement, but so feeble is their de­ fense that they have to resort to the usual tactics of the imbecile and seek the overthrow of the movement by getting back at President Bradford on the bread and butter line. He is professor in the Howard University of Washington, and Rev. Dr. Wilbur Thirkield, head of the University, has call<;d upon him to drop his crusade or pre­ pare to resign his position. , There is no man in the District that is as competent to head the anti-vaccination forces as President Bradford. In the press and on the platform he is ever alive to his subject and is the dread of his opponents. I am calling upon the anti-vaccinationists of Washington and of the country to make up to him his salary and let him kick clear of the university. So much for the universities, as Richard T. Crane might say. Showing "Twist" Position. Museum of Osteopathic Medicine, Kirksville, MO

THE OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN 3 Political Medicine HE real thing in the fight over the Owens bill is to determine whether the \lSover­ T eign People" shall continue to have tl~ right of choosing their medical treatment when ill. If this liberty of choice is taken from the people by the House of Representatives and the Senate it involves conferring uncontrolled power on the doctors appointed to run the proposed Department of Medicine. These Government doctors must be what are popularly known as "allopaths," for no others are recgnized by the Government. . One of their leaders wrote that if given such a department it would soon put an end to such "graft" as Christian Science, osteopathy, etc., thus including everything medical but what the allopathic doctors recognize. . A medical department could be made into a political machine more autocratic than any here­ tofore known. The present power was illustrated a few days ago when the mighty steamship Lusitania was turned back from her dock to quarantine again because one medical officer ordered it. He was "uncertain" about one case abroad. The men who seek this political power are, and always have been, in a state of therapeutic chaos, consequently are unfitted to have charge of sick humanity. The seekers for this power are therapeutic nihilists who have said that the best case is where "the autopsy confirms the diagnosis"; that would be well for humanity if all medicine were thrown into the sea; that about all a doctor can do is to "observe" the case, and much else of a like character. If the Government has the right to confer S110wing HFace" Position. power over the ills of the body to any set of men it has also the right to confer a similar power ('Now, after four weeks of osteopathic treat­ A Pertinent Question. over the spiritual ills of men on a corresponding m~nt freely given by Dr. W. ].

Evans." This statement, as you will see, was writ­ ten on August 27th. At the present date, Nov. 9th, Mrs. Evans has made such marked im­ provement that she now sits up a part of every day. She spent more than two hours of yesterday sitting in the sunshine. She has partial control of both legs and. if she does not become the victim of some acute disease, the probabilities are strongly in favor of her again being able to walk. Mrs. Evans' case should be a lesson to ev~ry physician for when she was first brought to our hospital it would be difficult to find a person in a more absolutely helpless condi­ tion. 1 am also more than pleased to say that at the present date she is taking no morphine and is reasonably free from pain.­ C.
