DOCTORS DEMAND SEPARATION

Want Legislation Regarding the Control of Physicians. Centralia, 111., special: The Southern Illinois Medical association, after a spirited discussion on the kind of legislation wanted, appointed a committee to assist the state society in pushing the bill to divorce the control of physicians from the other state boards of health on the ground that the present board has too much to do and a special board is needed. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, J. A. Helm, Metropolis; secretary, E. E. Fyke. Centralia; treasurer, A. T. Telford, Olney. The association adjourned to meet in Marion in November, 1903.
