...your issue of June 18, under the caption Medicine you say "the irregular medical schools such as chiropractic, naturopathy, optometry (and others) are falling before the onslaught of legal medicine and legislation."

But Hearst no longer cracks the whip that terrorized his rivals and upset the standards of journalism at the turn of the century. He is now willing to compromise, or to stand...
...inaccurate to say that any one security issue started the break last week. But if one is to be set up as a black example it is the Bank of Italy. On the San Francisco and Los Angeles exchanges Bank of Italy stock broke 160 points-from 284½ to 125. Related issues acted likewise. Bancitaly dropped 86 points-195 to 109; Bank of America 120 points -270 to 150; United Security 80 points-245 to 165. In New York the drops in these issues were as great...
