Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Eclectic Medical Association Quarterly, 1921, Vol. 12: Pages 363-696 One feature of your address I would like to mention - your remarks regarding the flag. But you neglected to mention the flag of three stripes. I remember it well when I was here in the war, the flag of three stripes, and how the people of the South then loved that flag. They reverence it now! And why should they not? What would you think of a mother whose son went out, as the sons of Georgia went out, to fight for a principle (for that is what the South fought for, a principle), what would you think of a mother who would discard that son because the cause he died to save was lost! No, they must reverence that flag and fold it away, realizing the fact that it is better as it is. America is the mother, the states are children. America cherishes one and all. What would this land be with a line between the North and the South? Has not this last war supported the assertion I have made that the flag of three stripes has been laid tenderly away, and in its place we have a flag of many stripes, one flag that waves over all of the United States, and justly so. Georgia is a great state, with its rivers and mountains and plains and all that is needed to make its future glorious. Georgia has been one of the states that has always had an Eclectic Medical Association and it has always done good work in the National. I can not go further without taking too much time, but I desire to say to you, Mr. Mayor, and to the President of the Georgia Society, that we people here today thank you for the address you have given us. I thank you, Mr. Mayor, for coming here and telling us what you knew about medicine, not what somebody has told you, thus givmg me a text for these rambling remarks. I thank you. (applause) the president: The next will be the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
