Sectarian Medicine

By L. A. H.

JUDGING from the many questions that are asked concerning osteopathy, chiropractic, and some other exclusive systems of practise and the relation of our medical workers to the same, much interest will be shown in the double October-November number of the Medical Evangelist. This number is especially devoted to a consideration of the claims of certain systems of medicine and practise. An article by Geo. K. Abbott, M. D., treats on the fallacies of sectarian medicines, discussing allopathy, homeopathy, eclecticism, osteopathy, chiropractic, hydropathy, naturopathy,

and Christian science. An interesting consideration is given both the medical dogma and professed principles of these systems, as well as their actual practise.

“Sunlight on ‘the Search-Light’” is the subject of an article by D. D. Comstock, M. D., being an answer to a certain forty-page pamphlet that has been quite freely circulated, in which considerable use is made of quotations from the writings of Mrs. E. G. White in support of the author’s claims for osteopathy. An article by Elder W. C. White deals with the same matter, giving reply to many inquiries that have been raised over the question.

Foreword of the next number of the journal states that it will contain an outline of the policy of the Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists with reasons for teaching what it does. Ten cents will secure a copy of this double number; fifty cents, a year’s subscription to the journal. It is to be recommended to all our medical workers, as well as to all others who wish to keep abreast of the development of our medical evangelistic education and work. Address the Medical Evangelist, Loma Linda, Cal.
