VINCENT PREISSNITZ (1779 † 1851) HEALER EXTRAORDINARY THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC ASSOCIATION, Inc GOLDEN JUBILEE CONGRESS NEW YORK 1947

VINCENT PREISSNITZ (1779 † 1851) HEALER EXTRAORDINARY
THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC ASSOCIATION, Inc GOLDEN JUBILEE CONGRESS NEW YORK 1947 Juli 28 / August 2 1947 Sixth Chapter

Vincent Preissnitz was not the first man to use water in the cure of disease.
However he was the first man to formulate a complete system of water treatments for the alleviation of disease.
That he made the discovery of the power of water in healing and reached his conclusions independently of all other healers who preceded him there is not the slightest doubt.
Born of hard working country people at Grafenberg, Germany in upper Silesia, he lead the life of the usual country boy. Scarcely less observing than he was industrious, he observed from his vantage point as his flock grazed, a wounded doe, injured by hunters, wade into the calm back flow waters of the turbulent mountain brook. He wondered as the doe limped away and disappeared into the forest. That night he decided there must be a reason for a wounded animal to seek water to lave its wounds. Perhaps instinct was stronger than reason. He would return the next day. He did.
Sure enough, the doe returned to the eddying water at about the same time. It stood silently, without a move, and then after awhile limped to the bank and disappeared in the deep foliage of the forest once more. For two weeks the lad Vincent Preissnitz returned daily to his vantage point and watched. For two weeks the wounded stag returned and bathed its injured leg in the brook. Each day the deer walked better and finally scampered out of the water on the last day to return no more.
Before his very eyes he had seen a badly injured deer healed with cool sparkling brook water. Vincent Preissnitz never forgot that experience.
Some years later Preissnitz was injured severely hauling cord wood. Night stole upon him, as did a heavy snow storm. His team bolted through a gulch. The load slipped and his ribs were crushed.
But while he lay there he had time to reflect on what to do. A doctor was out of the question on a night like that. No help was forthcoming. Somehow he managed to get home.
No, he could not soak his injured ribs in water as the deer had done with its leg. He conceived the idea of wrapping the injured ribs with pieces of his torn shirt soaked in cold water. This relieved him. He continued to apply cold wet wrappings and in due course his ribs were free from pain and healed.
The news of his accomplishment spread. When a neighbor became injured he called for the young man who healed with water. Requests for aid became more frequent and further from home, and his experience grew apace.
He gave the matter of his discovery which had meant so much to himself and others much thought. He tried various applications with varying degrees of success. Empirically by trial and error he evolved a method or system of water treatment that brought help to thousands.
He opened a modest place where people could stay. In a matter of months it became the haven of the sick. His fame spread to every corner of the globe. He treated Prince and pauper alike. The medical big wigs of the day protested and closed his doors. To his patients, called to the center of the square, he said: "be undismayed. If they will not let me use water we shall find a cure in air."
He was persecuted and prosecuted. By trickery and scheming the medical fraternity sought to discredit him. The people who had been healed were evidence against any wrong doing he was accused of. The final gesture was the claim that the water was drugged. The State found he used only pure mountain water.
To end all persecution they decreed that no one should ever molest him. That he be permitted to heal the sick as he had been doing.

Hence forward, leading medical men of Europe sat at his feet to learn his simple practical methods.
Grafenburg, became a shrine for the ill. People traveled to it from all over the world. Some of the best records we have came from the pen of Americans who crossed the ocean to take the "cure."
One of these from an attorney in New York State reflects the simplicity of the man Preissnitz and the equal simplicity of his methods.
Preissnitz never changed modality with which he worked. He changed only the duration of treatments and developed a system to adopt them in accordance with the patient.
It is said he treated thousands yearly and amassed a sizable fortune, which was
foreign to a man of such simple tastes and wants.
So far as is known he left no writings of his own, but he speaks to us through the writings of his disciples, most prominent of whom were Joel Shew, prominent medical physician of the early 19th century, and Rausse, the famed German writer.
Though a number of excellent men took up the propagation of the work, following Shew's passing, none gave it such authority and power as did he.
The work never really died, but rather was absorbed by other systems which followed as the Kneipp and Bilz system and so on, until we find at the turn of the twentieth century an American Hydro-therapy fostered by the genius of the late John Harvey Kellogg of Battle Creek Sanitarium fame, and Dr. Simon Baruch, father of the friend of Presidents, Bernard Baruch who sometime back gave $1,000,000 for the study of Natural methods of healing. Unfortunately this money was placed at the disposal of a medically controlled board, and will be spent under medical supervision.
Nevertheless the water cure or hydropathy or what some are inclined to term hydrotherapy will live on as a monument to the little Shepard lad Vincent Preissnitz who rediscovered the power of water as a healing agent, nearly 200 years ago.
Since Preíssnítz's passing the town of Grafenburg has become a shrine of the basic , Nature Curists. In Grafenburg are preserved memento es of the early days of the Grafenburg water cure where despite persecution and prosecution, the practical visionary Vincent Preissnitz plied his profession and established beyond any question the efficacy of water as a healing agent.
Among the memento es is a letter from someone in America to Vincent Preissnitz bearing simply the address, Europe. So great had his fame grown throughout the civilized world.
To him we owe homage for his great discovery of the efficiency of the universal solvent.
In hovel or palace water, even as air heals and strengthens.

FATHER SEBASTIAN KNEIPP (1821 † 1897) HEALER EXTRAORDINARY THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC ASSOCIATION, Inc GOLDEN JUBILEE CONGRESS NEW YORK 1947

FATHER SEBASTIAN KNEIPP (1821 † 1894) HEALER EXTRAORDINARY
THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC ASSOCIATION, Inc GOLDEN JUBILEE CONGRESS NEW YORK 1947 Juli 28 / August 2 1947 Fifth Chapter

The pioneers of Natural healing were a hardy rugged lot. They were individualists to the core.
There was Preissnitz, the farmer, Schroth the carter, Just the teacher, Kuhne the weaver among others and now we consider the works of Kneipp the Priest.
No man of the profession left a more marked imprint for posterity to ponder than did Father Sebastian Kneipp, who
independently established his own peculiar system o£ water applications.
None of his predecessors was more individual, more rugged or more devout in preaching the gospel of good health.
Kneipp's song of health which heralded his belief is contained in the simple passage:
"All ye waters praise ye the Lord!" And that is what Father Kneipp did in his work. Unselfishly he labored until he was an old man to help suffering humanity He never charged or took a fee. Those numbering into tens of thousands who were helped expressed their gratitude as the spirit moved them and all proceeds went to charity.
To understand the greatness of the man it is necessary that we carry you back to his humble and impoverished parentage.
Sebastian Kneipp was the son of a poor weaver. He was born at Stephansried near Ottobeuren on the seventeenth day of May 1821.
The boy Sebastian early showed signs of eagerness to learn but his parents had not the means to help him. He became a weaver like his father and helped as a good son would until he was 21.
Then the desire to become a priest overpowered him and he left home. From village to village he traveled seeking the aid of priests so as to begin study for the priesthood.
Chaplain Mathias Merkl, of Gronenbach, who was later to become a bishop, became interested in Kneipp after the young man's many fruitless attempts to get help. This patient priest taught Kneipp, Latin and prepared him for High School.
Actual want and long hours of study, caused Kneipp to become rundown and lose strength. He developed consumption, far more a dread condition then than now. Every effort was made to help him. Professor Pezold, of Munich did all possible for him without results.
Kneipp, then in the gymnasium or high school saw his prospects of becoming a priest fast fading away. He was determined to enter the priesthood, but it looked as though death would prevent. He would take matters into his own hands. He sought knowledge on every hand. Nothing seemed to offer any hope, that is, nothing until he came upon a small work, by the first German water Doctor, Dr. Hahn on the curative properties of cold water, which was edited by Dr. Huefland, an old and respected physician. A number of cures by water treatment were recorded in this little volume.
Kneipp was struck with the simplicity of the work. Just the reading of it gave him new hope and courage. He lost no time in putting the instructions into action
His perseverance in applying the measures was rewarded by results. The disease was arrested so he could finally resume his studies for the priesthood and as time went on he grew increasingly better until his health was better than ever before.
So taken was he by his success with water that he recommended the same to others, among the student body. So remarkable were the results that he was lead to continue his recommendations even after he had been elevated to the priesthood.
Keen powers of observation enabled the young student and later priest to make important discoveries. Coupled with his good common sense and practical views he was developing a system of treatments almost without realizing it.
So widespread had his fame become that he was known as the "Priest who heals with water." That jealousies should arise seemed inevitable. He had been warned by the Bishop to confine his ministrations to the soul. But his parish which was composed of many poor farmers often required his attention on the sick, and as he ministered to the spiritual with prayer so he ministered to the physical ills with water.
Opposition became stronger. Finally the Bishop advised Father Kneipp that he was not a physician but a priest and would have to decide to give up one or the other. Father Kneipp understood and accepted the order. He decided to cease ministering to the physical ills of his flock.
While it probably took much thought and prayer to reach this decision, after it was made it likely brought the busy priest some measure of relief, which however was short lived. The conflict in his mind and soul was almost overpowering.
Soon after his decision to forsake helping his parishioners with water, there came a knock on his door of a dark stormy night. Father Kneipp had heard the sound of horses hoofs as the rider drew up. He admitted the man. His face was ghastly white. His wife was lying in childbirth. There was no doctor within miles, "Please would he come." Father Kneipp remembered his vow and told the distracted man his decision. He could not come. The man pleaded for help. Father Kneipp, his soul in conflict between promise and duty reversed himself then and there and said, "vow or no vow I cannot see a fellow being perish if I can help him", and asked the man to lead the way. There was no wagon or carriage. The people were poor. He got on the horse behind the now happy man, and was hurried to the bedside of his wife some miles distant.
He arrived in time to deliver the baby and save the mother. And as he went leisurely back to his home thinking that he had divorced himself from the priesthood he felt some compensation, the great soul satisfaction he had in ministering to the woman and helping a new life into the world.
He sent word to the Bishop of what he had done. Dismissal was not forthcoming, but rather a note that if he could heal the physical ills he was free to go ahead while attending to their spiritual needs.
This was the happiest day in Father Kneipp's life. His fame grew in leaps and bounds and the demands for his services became so great that it was decided to open an institution, which was done at Wörishofen, Germany.
Thousands, yes, tens of thousands of ill people visited Wörishofen and went away well. Physicians from all over the world traveled to learn his system. Many came to scoff but went away chastened and convinced. Water cures according to the Kneipp system sprang up all over Europe.
A young man from Mickelbach was destined to take the message of Kneipp across the Seas. This young man with weak lungs had also traveled to Father Kneipp and came away strong and well.
In 1892 the Kneipp system was officially brought to America by Dr. Benedict Lust, who was personally commissioned to carry the work to this country by Father Kneipp himself. Dr. Lust put the system into operation at his Yunghorn in Butler, N. J. and Tangerine, Florida, where the treatment is still used.
Father Kneipp was looked upon as a "dabbler" by the medical profession of his day, but they hesitated to openly condemn a man so selfless, a man who treated the thousands who visited him for help without charging a fee.
In fact the Central Medical Journal No. 35 of Hamburg 1899, editorialized: "A sense of shame comes upon the physician who, in Wörishofen, hears from dozens of educated people that they have for months consulted in vain professional medical men, who take large fees, with regard to symptoms, which have either been completely removed or greatly alleviated here.
Who ever attentively observes Kneipp's mode of dealing with a patient, will soon perceive that he applied his treatment to the man as a whole, appealing not at first to the intellect, but to the will, which is so much neglected in modern education and also in hygienic matters."
The Kneipp System aims at strengthening the whole organism.

Father Kneipp's theory of disease is a simple one. He believed every disease arises from the blood. Either the blood contains impurities or circulates poorly, was his opinion on the cause of disease.
On this sound basis he proceeded to construct his system of treatment. He directed his applications at the body as a whole, and not at one part of the body, though many of the applications were localized, in order to cause a greater effect on the body as a whole.
Kneipp used only cold water. The colder the better, he believed. In fact in Winter he would add snow to the water. Treatments were of short duration. The object was to obtain a quick reaction. Most treatments as douches, etc., were from one half minute to three minutes. In this he was at variance with his predecessor Preissnitz. Kneipp also preferred patients to take exercise before water application.
In fact he favored a well heated body even to the point of perspiration for the best reaction to the cold water.
He successfully treated the dread small pox and typhus, by repeated washings in cold water. This success was squalled in all feverish conditions. Numerous were the cases where he restored sight, hearing and the voice, by regulating the treatment to restore defective circulation. He believed these conditions as due to chronic congestion.
Father Kneipp was a born healer. He was able to discern the individuals problems and direct treatment accordingly. He frowned upon orthodox diagnosis. He was satisfied to see the patient, observe his expression and carriage and then prescribe.
While the Kneipp system is mostly thought of as a Water Cure system, it should be remembered that Father Kneipp, long acquainted with the herbs of the Country worked out a complete system of herbalism, For long his products were considered the best on the market. It was difficult for the medics to tolerate the idea of such a pharmacoepia but the years have proved that the simple remedies of Kneipp were based on Natural principles.
With regard to food Kneipp was quite decided. He eschewed alcoholic drinks and tobacco as useless and recommended that no coffee be used. He substituted a cereal coffee. Wholegrain or meal bread was, the rule, and. .an ample supply of vegetables o all kinds was recommended.
Singularly the venerable priest was one of the first pioneers to advocate reforms in dress.
He believed hat the feet should be well aired In addition to recommending walling in the dew, or water or snow, he devised an open sandal for wear, which all followers of the Cure wore.
He was against the use of wool undergarments and socks, then in vogue. He devised, a porous knitted linen fabric from which under garments were manufactured and socks were made of similar material.
Even the fabric used in packs were of this material, Wool was taboo. Factories in nearby cities manufactured the products which were sold throughout the world.
Father Kneipp's system was not merely a system of healing the ailing body and restoring it to health, but it was a system of simple wholesome living.
His views were finally set down in the printed page after a long useful life of service in healing. "My Water Cure," now out of print is a masterpiece of simplicity its revelation of invaluable advice to the ailing.
This work is Father Kneipp's great contribution to therapeutic literature.
Few places in this Country use the Kneipp Cure, though Dr. Lust has fulfilled his commission to spread its value throughout the land.

Born at Stephensreid near Ottobeuren. As a weak young man trying to help himself, i came upon "Hahn's Water Doctor", one of the first treatises on the subject of Water Cure. Father Kneipp followed out the same progressive development as Preissnitz from treatment of self, to friends; and finally those he served as Priest. Kneipp developed his system along own lines, entirely independent of any other system.

There met the healer Meltzer. Four years later he came into contact with Theodore Hahn of Waid. Formulated theory of Unity of Disease. Kuhne claimed: "Disease is the presence of foreign matter in the body." His book, "Neo-Naturopathy" is truly the Naturopathic pathology of disease. He declared "Cleanliness only heals."
Just, Adolph (Died 1939)
Author of "Return to Nature". Reduced Nature Cure to its utter simplicity. He evolved the idea of moist heat. Among truths he expounded are: "Nature does not err." "All nature doctors must regard it as their ideal aim to develop the people to the point where each will be his own physician." Just was first to advance theory that "acute diseases are most favorable healing crisis, and should be greeted with joy."
Annie Riley Hale (1854 - 1946)
Outstanding lay writer and champion of Medical Freedom. Author of "These Cults"

A PLEA FOR A RETURN TO NATURE
July 10, 1947.
WESTERN UNION

Dr. Robert V. Carroll, President,
National Convention and Post Graduate Congress,
Detroit Leland Hotel,
Detroit, Michigan.

May truth richly guide the deliberations of all the sessions of your convention and may the genuine work of the pioneers of Naturopathy rise above and take precedence over the dross of the pseudo science the so called moderns who would make of Naturopathy a school of medicine rather than adhere to its profoundly simply philosophy and effective practice. Naturopathy will stand or fall by its own accomplishments. It ca not be held responsible for the effect of much that is today practiced in its name. The true Naturopathy no matter of what Association or Society he may be a member is a Naturopath, first, last and always and he will n himself accept infiltrations or be a party to those who do.
We welcome all seekers of the truth to attend the Golden Jubilee Congress of the American Naturopathic Association, Inc. July 27 to August 2, at the old home of successful conventions in the past, The Hotel Commodore, E. 42nd Street and Grand Central Terminal, New York, Ne York.
May all your officials and many of your group be among these. We extend the hand of fellowship and communion in the belief an knowledge that the truth will ever prevail.

DR. JESSE MERCER GERMAN, President
The American Naturopathic Association, Inc
(The Original and Parent American Naturopathic Association Founded By Dr. Benedict Lust in 1896 and Incorporated In the District Of Columbia in 1919)

Disease Is Nature's Effort
To Get You Well
Regain Your Health
By Living Away Disease!

PHYSIOTHERAPY IN COMBINATION WITH NATURE CURE

The rapid and amazing development and progress accomplished by non-drug or physical therapy in recent years has been most phenomenal. The extensive use of these methods in treating the many wounded and disabled in our. Army and Navy hospitals in World war I and more recently in World War II, proved their value beyond question in the quick and remarkable recoveries recoded.
Physical therapy or physiotherapy has become in very truth a human salvage service and its scope of use is constantly widening and its application is to-day attendant with exact precision.
And physiotherapy will do so much more now after World War II reclaiming and bringing back thousands to a normal and useful life.
Physical measures lave been used since ancient times for the treatment of chronic arthritis to cite but one common ailment as is evidenced by the pilgrimage of rheumatic suffer e to spas and hot springs.
Perhaps no disease has been more discussed than arthritis. It has baffled the wisest physicians by its various and difficult forms. And those of us who have come in contact with sufferers know how often there is a tone of hopelessness in the words "I have arthritis" The implication in the tone itself conveys the despair that is associated with the disease. I shall not go into the statistics of arthritis or rheumatoid disorders which are appalling. Suffice it to say that physiotherapy combined with rational dietetic instruction has worked wonders.
The American Medical Association recently announced that as a result of the careful study of fifty arthritis patients, they were convinced that "stress of poverty, grief and worry had done much to cause this disease for the greater majority of these cases.
Worry is the interest we pay before it is due. Many of us need to heed the words "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” we must not drag the future into the present "Keep the fences up between the days" is a favorite phrase of a well known author, by which he means that we ought to live one day at a time. When the new day comes will be time enough to lift its burden. We are always borrowing trouble, much of which never comes except in anticipation.
And those of us who have seen the distressing and strength-sapping forebodings as to the future, know how the patient needs great sympathy and at the same time needs the cheeriest and most tactful counsel, so as to help him or her overcome those wearing down handicaps to health.
When one recalls, too, the oft-quoted words of that great Frenchman, Voltaire, "Physicians put medicine of which they know little into bodies of which they know less, to cure diseases, of which they know nothing at all," he is not surprised that orthodox physicians have become more and more interested in physical therapy.
It should be emphasized that while Physiotherapy is helpful, not only in arthritis and other rheumatoid disorders and many other conditions, to be more effective Naturopathy embracing all those rational constructive non-drug practices and physiological methods conforming to the natural fundamental laws which are indispensable for life and health, should be applied.
Health is just as much a gift to man as life itself. Both are promoted by the same creative forces.
Healing, strictly speaking, is a "recreation" and Nature only can heal. The mighty forces of the universe are dedicated to the promotion of life and health. The supreme and perpetual aim of Nature is life.
Nature only can cure and whatever agent we may use, whether it is a physical or medicinal one, it can do good only insofar as it assists Nature in its work of healing. This is the primary object of every intelligent and successful practitioner. He should ever be a co-worker with Nature.
Light therapy, Helio therapy, Hydrotherapy, Electrotherapy, Exercise, Mechanotherapy and all Physiotherapeutic agents can never be anything else but the healing methods of first choice. Their superiority as curative agents no longer need to be argued upon.
The Natural Laboratories—the fields and forests—produce vegetable plants, roots and herbs, not the laboratories of men. That they were intended to be used in promoting health undoubtedly suggested itself to man instinctively, as they were designed by the Creator to assist Nature in correcting the ills and maintaining the normal health of mankind. In the substitution of chemical and synthetic drugs and inorganic minerals for the Natural Vegetable Herb Foods we have gone altogether too far and paid altogether too much.
There is one great fundamental law which any and every form of therapeutics must accept and observe, if a full measure of success is to be attained. It is the fact that the forces of Nature, without exception, operate under fixed conditions and with unerring certainty. This law of Nature is the very foundation of drugless therapy, the procedures of which are designed to coincide with these natural forces insofar as they govern the physics and chemistry of the human body.
The scientific application of all Natural methods for the restoration of health, and the teaching of natural correct living, is the bounden duty of the Naturopathic Physician.

THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC ASSOCIATION, Inc GOLDEN JUBILEE CONGRESS NEW YORK 1947 Juli 28 / August 2 1947 (Second Chapter)

A SOUL STIRRING PROCLAMATION
FROM OUR DEPARTED LEADE

Greetings to the Officers, the Trustees, Members and Friends
assembled at the 47th Annual Congress of the
American Naturopathic Association

More than ever, in these disturbed times, we must adhere to our principles, our convictions and our ideals of Natural Living and the Nature Cure, which are summed up in the single word: Naturopathy. We are called into this great work to give an account of ourselves, not only to the members of our profession, but also the public in general which has placed its faith in us for health guidance. It is a great privilege, a sacred duty, to give to this movement, this cause of humanity, the very best that is in us. Naturopathy is the science of life, based on the only authority, God, Who hascreated Nature with her laws for the benefit or mankind. This is not a question of one system, or a question of one school, one cult, one sect or one monopoly. It is all inclusive and covers everything connected with the healing art, that comes within these natural laws.
Naturopathy includes all methods, even medical and surgical, methods as it is the only school, which gives a scientific basis to all methods. Naturopathy is the mother the matrix, the tree, from which all other methods have branched and developed. It includes authoritative, natural living on the three planes: physical mental and spiritual That is the beginning and the end of true Nature Cure.
The schools of Naturopathy, which teach all branches of natural healing — that have sprung up since the beginning of time for the one specific purpose, to help the human organism to restore to a normal state by removing causes, instead of suppressing symptoms — have expounded our simple principles of making the agents of life become the agents of cure.
Only in union there is strength. But in that union we must have character, willingness to suffer and to sacrifice, to reach our goal of full recognition, by proving to State Legislatures and the Federal Government, that such recognition would be a benefit and therefore a necessity to the health of the American people which otherwise would degenerate. Yet we must be authoritative in the control of the natural life of the people, in order to prevent decadence and national failure, by following strictly the Naturopathic principles and obtaining for Naturopathy the full protection and recognition it merits. We will serve society by helping to overcome economic, political and religious difficulties and shortcomings, which, unfortunately, are the cause of war. We stand for peace, for justice, and for the rights of free man all over the world.
May God guide and protect you, May the Holy Spirit of Nature be with you in your constructive deliberations. May there evolve from this 47th Congress of the American Naturopathic Association, a new dispensation, that will bring a glorious unfoldment of Naturopathy for the benefit of all mankind, to usher in the golden era of health, of happiness, peace and understanding on the principle of true service, equal rights, happiness, freedom and liberty.
Naturopathically yours,
DR, BENEDICT LUST,
President of the A.N.A.

AN APPEAL FOR RECOGNITION OF THE NATUROPATH

Robert A. Taft, United States Senator, Washington, D. C. My dear Senator

Taft:— July seventh, 1947

While I never had the pleasure of meeting you personally, I was standing close enough to you, and looking into your smiling face immediately after the vote on the Labor Bill last Monday to grasp your hand and speak with you. That was in the Reception Room in the Senate Chambers. You were conversing with a man and his son and I was prompted to interfere for a moment, but felt I would wait until I had gone upstairs, and then as I was about to speak to you, you turned and walked over to the corner and sat down with your guests.
When I came downstairs in a few minutes yon had gone. So you may remember me, as you looked directly in my face. It was somewhere between two and three o'clock in the afternoon.
I wanted to grasp your hand and speak to you for a few moments with regard to the HEALTH BILL, and also the EDUCATÍONAL BILL. The First Bill as I understand, is being sponsored by yourself and fellow Senators, Ball and McDonnell. As I understand it, it would provide two hundred million dollars to States for medical, surgical and hospital service. While there is no objection to making available assistive funds to help our needy citizens, I feel that any Bill that does not take into consideration the matter of the freedom of choice of one's physician, falls short of benefiting that large part of our population which is growing ever larger, which depends upon physicians of schools other than the orthodox allopathic school of medicine, and hence any funds made available to hospitals would naturally be disposed of for medical aid only. This same procedure would be carriel out in States where medical aid would be given for medical aid surgical and for citizens needing it.
I should like to suggest that you give the matter serious study and consider the unfairness of making available a fund of two hundred million dollars to be disposed of through one school of healing. In all fairness to the people in this country who depend upon methods, other than drugging methods for aid when they become ill, I believe, that your Bill, or in fact any other Bill that might be considered, should contain a clause indicating that the money .should be available for expenditure to physicians of the school of healing chosen by the individual. In other words, those in need have a right to indicate whether they desire the service of a Chiropractor, Osteopath, Christain Scientist, Naprapath, Neuropath, or a Naturopath. I represent the latter school of healing, and am the official head of the American Naturopathic Association, Inc.
The non-drug physicians of America number at least thirty-five thousand. Certainly these physicians and the people they serve, should be given some consideration in framing any Bill for the public health and welfare, in which public monies are to be distributed among the States for assistance in providing treatment and carc.
Upon such a clause as referred to is provided in your HEALTH BILL it is believed, that we will only sink deeper and deeper into the mire of medical dictatorship, such as was so ably expressed by Benjamin Rush, M.D., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, when he said:

"The Constitution of this Republic should make special , provision for MEDICAL FREEDOM. To restrict the art of healing to one class will constitute the Bastille of MEDICAL SCIENCE. All such laws are un-American and despotic."

It is hoped that in the interest of fairness and democracy and public welfare, that you will give this matter your serious consideration, and will strive to have your Bill amended to include the clause suggested. With every kind wish, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Doctor Jesse Mercer Gehman, President, The American Naturopathic Assn., Inc.

POINTS SCORING SYSTEM FOR CREDIT CERTIFICATES FOR THE GOLDEN JUBILEE CONGRESS

Each Evening Series — 5 Points — 25 Points for Week's Evening Session.
Each Afternoon Series — 2 Points — 8 Points for Week's Afternoon Session.
Each Morning Series — 3 Points — 15 Points for Weeks Morning Session.
The reasons for scaling Points in this manner are obvious. There is no reflection
on Afternoon Speakers. The object is to get our physicians out to the public lectures
in the evening which Dr. Lust considered doing so important. Less points for Afternoon
Session are allowed to encourage attention to morning lectures as experience has taught
us physicians neglect these.
More points are given on morning demonstration to encourage attendance at the earlier hours.
Greatest possible point total for week — 48.
A physician must have a total of 40 points to earn Golden Jubilee Certificate.
Attendance Cards will be issued to each physician registering for the Convention.
Carry these cards for each session. If you do not have your card you will not receive
credit for attendance.
At the end of the sessions your cards will be turned in for computation of points and for signature.
The cards will be returned to you signed, via mail.
If you have earned a Certificate it will be executed and mailed to you.
