PHONE 948 Chiropractors Reply... d received from re^i of fair plav. en J)v Dr. Clar- ictk) Institute of • : / CHIROPRACTIC REPLY GETS EQUAL SPACE New York—Chiropractors of New York state got the opportunity to tell the story of their profession to approximately 300,000 readers of the New York ‘‘Herald-Tribune” recently when a reply was made to medical Dr. Philip D. Alien’s article, ‘The Doctor's Case Against Chiropractic.” New York chiropractors asked and received from the newspaper equal space in the interc The case for Chiropractic was written ence W. Weiant. dean of the Chiropracti New Y'ork. Dr. Weiant’s article follows: Philip D. Allen’s editorial page article. “The Doc tors’ Case Against Chiropractic” (Mar. 29) exhibits either an appalling ignorance of chiropractic or a de liberate atteaipt to mislead the public. * Chiropractic is not a cult. Chiropractors do not contend that the one and only cause of disease is to be found in the spine. What they do contend b that in most disease there b a spinal factor, and that very often this factor b crucial. Chiropractors do not deny that bacterb and viruses may. under certain condi tions. cause disease, nor that there are degenerative processes in the body. They do not deny that hoc mones “can cause imbalances that create sickness. " but neither do they forget that hormone production is subject to nerve control, as deaKmstrated by pny- •oologisU. Nor do chiropractors fail to rerognixe that dietary deficiencies cause disease; no chiropractor would suggest that pellagra caa be cured by a spinal adjustment alone. Far from being based on “naive, unscientific and unproven concepts.” chiropractic b a neuro-merbani cal approach to disease which has been complete!* validated in the foremost centers of medical research, by men who investigated before rendering a verdict, la America ita scientific basis began with the work of Goldtknait and hb anno rial cm at Harvard. By 1912 A. kendrick Smith, aa orthopedic surgeon of Boston Polyclinic, was lecturing at the New York Academ* of Medicine on The Therapeutic Possibilities of Man uai Adjustment.” It b only ia the past decade, however, that medi cal research ia thb field has come to full fruition— and not ia the homeland of chiropractic, but ia Ger many. It may come aa a surprise to Dr. Allen and many of hb colleagues to learn that ia that couatrv there exists an organization of some 200 medical men whose avowed purpose b to investigate the acieatific foundation and the therapeutic possibilities of chiro practic. Its members, made up largely, not of rank and fib practitioners, but of professors at universily med ical schools, chiefs of staff at large government how pitab and clinics, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and other specialbts. have reported their findings in a number of books and in scores of articles in reput* abb medical journals. For example. Albert Cramer. M. D., in hb “Lehr- buch der ( hiropraktik.” a textbook for physicians written after he had observed 6,000 patients under chiropractic care at a Urge clinic in Hamburg, says: ‘The action of the chiropractic thrust upon the pa tient is so profound, so widespread, goes so directly into the vital circuit . . . that, in its ultimate conse quences, it simply cannot be followed by the ther apist.” He asserts that chiropractic X-ray techniques surpass anything in medical literature, and that chir opractic is a necessity in modern civilization. Throughout the length and breadth of America there are chiropractors, many of them located in small communities, where they may have practiced for thir ty or forty years. If these practitioners, established in towns where everybody knows everybody else, were quacks, they would long since have been run out of town. Instead, the chiropractor may be the mayor, sometimes the coroner, or even the health officer of his town. The modern chiropractor, incidentally, gets as thorough a training in diagnosis as does the phy sician and passes the same state examinations in states like Connecticut, where, in the most recent examinations conducted by the Basic Science Board, a chiropractor scored higher than any medical candi date. Chiropractors should have a limited license. Such a license would define the scope of their practice, pro tecting the public (as well as the physician) from anv illegal encroachment on the medical field. The chir opractic profession would then have the machinery to enforce high standards of education and professional conduct. Dr. Allen complains that chiropractors are not willing to work “under the supervision of a phy sician.” Of course not. Would the dentists like it if they had to have a physiebn’s prescription to fill or pull a tooth? Only a chiropractor knows whether or not bb therapy b indicated, and how H shonM he sd The chiropractor has no desire to displace the phy sician. He knows, quite as well as anybody else, that the medical profession is a public necessity. He asks only the right to make the specific contribution w hich he is prepared to render and stands ready to co-operate with any fair-minded doctor. Dr. Allen argues that other states have found that it was a mistake to license chiropractors. Is it not strange, then, that no state that ever Issued licenses to chiropractors has ever rescinded the practice? Many of the most distinguished people in the world today patronize the chiropractor and. like Eleanor Roosevelt, make no bones about it. In New York State, however, the public has no means, except by trial and error, of determining the competence of a chiroprac tor. Thb, evidently, b the way the New York Stale Medical Society wants it. CHIROPRACTOR ENTERS CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY Harrbbarg. Pa.—Dr. Thomas F. Todd. Aliqutppa.

Hi—Aa IBinob state representative expects that a bill for licensiag chiropractors will be introduced at the next Msoion of the state legbbtnre. Rep. Robert W. McCarthy told some 250 persons at the mid-year convention of the Prairie State Chir opractic Ansocbtion that the main problem faring the group will be enactment of the legbbtion itself. He placed “strong hope,” however, on a forthcom ing report of a special 15-man commission appointed bst year by Gov. Willbm G. Stratton to study the Chiropractic dilemma in Illinois. A. M. A.
