...this prattle about professional ethics, and with the A.M.A. in its sanctimonious stand as the sole arbiter of human health; I am vaguely reminded of one Louis Pasteur, chemist, and of how the medical confession, in a united front, battled his method of inoculation with virus to combat and cure hydrophobia...
...such physical agents, tried their hands at others. As a result a new specialty of physical medicine gradually developed. Called physical therapists, such doctors treat disease by heat, massage, baths, exercise, rest, work, radiation and electricity. The specialty is still not sharply defined.
