An Attorney-General's Opinion

New York Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: —The Legislature of this state, at the last General Assembly, passed a bill which, as I understand it, was to prevent the practice of Christian Science healers.

My impression is that the old line doctors and the homoeopathic doctors in this state joined hands over the bloody chasm which has long existed between the two branches of the medical profession to throttle the new science, and, as our Governor thought that the medical profession up to this time had not yet reached the dignity of a science, and that the union of the two lines of physicians was for the simple purpose of warring against the third, which, in their eyes, has become a monster of great proportions in this state, he took it upon himself to disapprove the bill and give them all an equal opportunity in this state to demonstrate to the people the power of healing by calling upon their respective gods.
