Changes

During the second of the Nineteenth Century, states passed a series of laws that slowly established a medical licensing system. Elite Regular, Homeopathic and Eclectic worked to together to eliminate medical practices that they found ridiculous. After medical licensing boards were established they began to target physicians for illegally practicing medicine. By the end of the 19th Century, these licensing boards began filing criminal actions against Christian scientists for practicing medicine. While the results of the prosecutions were mixed, the reliance on religion and metaphysics made many physicians deeply uncomfortable. Despite efforts to stamp Christian Science, the religious practice exists to this day.
