Christian Scientists Won

Boston Herald

Raleigh , N. C., March 7, 1903.—Christian Scientists won their fight before the General Assembly of North Carolina to-day, when the law to define the practice of medicine and surgery, which would make illegal the practice of their faith in North Carolina, was amended to read:—

"Provided that this act does not apply to any persons who minister or cure the sick or afflicted by spiritual means only, prayer to Almighty God, without the use of drugs or any material means."

The amendment was worded by Miss Mary Hatch Harrison of the Publication Committee for the State of North Carolina. The bill passed its final reading in the Senate without a dissenting vote.—Boston Herald.
