THE RECOGNITION OF OSTEOPATHS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—My attention has been called to an article, entitled " The Recognition of Osteopaths," appearing in the " News of the Week " columns of the Spectator, issue of February 21st, 1931. This article says in part :— " In Canada, and in forty-seven of the forty-nine States of the American Union, Osteopaths are recognized."
So far as Canada is concerned this statement is erroneous if the word " recognition " means giving them a legal status similar to that allowed doctors. In no part of Canada are osteopaths or chiropractors granted the legal standing accorded the regular medical profession.
Might I ask you to give as much prominence to this cor- rection as you have given to the original article ?—I am,
(General Secretary, Canadian Medical Association). 184 College Street, Toronto 2.
