Medical Legislation

Archibald McLellan

We are advised by our brethren in Louisiana that the recent attempt of the physicians in that State to secure legislation adverse to the practice of Christian Science has been defeated, the proposed bill having been withdrawn by its author in order to give it, as he said, "a decent burial.
