Dentists and Chiropractors in Philadelphia

The examination of “other practitioners” was on an entirely
unsatisfactory basis until September, 1916, when, through a
resolution passed by the State Board of Health, the method was
subjected to radical change. By virtue of this resolution, “other
practitioners” were subjected to the same examinations and even
given the same questions used in the examination of physicians
except that the subject of materia medica, therapeutics, surgery and
obstetrics, were omitted. In the subject of practice the drugless
healer was given the same examination questions as those given
physicians, but was permitted to answer subject to the tenets of
his individual school and the papers were graded by men licensed
to practice that school of treatment.  Find good chiropractors in Fort Collins CO

With July 1, 1917, however, many important changes took
place in the examination and licensure of the so-called “other prac-
titioners.” By the terms of the amended Medical Practice Act of
Illinois, the applicant designates the school of practice w’hich he
chooses to follow and, in addition to the general subjects applying
to all candidates, he is examined in the tenets of the particular
school and is licensed to practice as a practitioner of that school.
Thus, while in the past, the individual has been licensed merely as
an “other practitioner,” he is now licensed as an “osteopath,” a
“chiropractor,” etc.
