An Appeal to the Members of the Texas Legislature
Unusual space is given in this issue to matter pertaining to medical legislation, in view of the general educational need, and of the special significance of the subject to Christian Scientists. The following vigorous protest was recently presented to the legislature of Texas, by the Christian Scientists of that State. It is grounded on those constitutional "Rights," to the maintenance of which every free and independent people must ever be alert, since their happiness and well-being can be assured on no other basis. The significance of the issue raised has been clearly seen by a large majority of the legislators and judges who have given the subject judicial consideration, and we are sure that the American people may be trusted with the guardianship of their rights, as soon as they realize that they are endangered. The statistical information appended to the document will prove very serviceable to Christian Scientists everywhere.—[Ed.]
Before casting your vote on the medical bill which will be offered for your consideration, you are asked in the name of justice and humanity kindly to consider this appeal, and the facts therein stated, with care.
We respectfully call your attention to a part of the amendment which it has been stated will be offered through the State Medical Association to Section 13 of the Medical Law now in force, and which reads as follows: "Provided, that those persons treating disease who do not prescribe or give drugs or medicines shall be examined in all the branches provided for in this act except Chemistry, Materia Medica, and Therapeutics."
