A work of political protest relating to an act passed May 11th 1874 regulating the practice of medicine and surgery in New York State.

Hoolihan 1597: "With a fortune amassed from textile manufacturing Hazard retired in his mid-forties to devote himself to various reform issues including economic reform education the treatment of the insane abolition etc. Following the death of his wife and daughters Hazard became increasingly interested in spiritualism. In this work Hazard takes issue with legislation passed in the State of New York 1874 requiring practitioners who were not medical school graduates to obtain certification from the State county or district medical society. Hazard writes: "I see. that the M.D.s of New York have commenced broadening their opportunity for mischief in their death-dealing profession by taking the initiatory step to stop by fine and imprisonment a mediumistic doctress Mrs. Holmes from healing the sick after the fashion and order prescribed practiced and commanded by Jesus Christ of imparting health and vitality through 'the laying on of hands'" p. 4. Throughout his treatise Hazard contrasts 'the criminal practices of the faculty' and the collusion of the legal and clerical professions with the successes of clairvoyant and spiritualistic healers.

Foundational document of the General Union which according to one modern scholar "marked a new departure in the annals of American reform. Like the American Temperance Society upon which it was closely modeled the General Union was intended to unite like-minded individuals from throughout the United States in a single cause. According to Massachusetts reformer William Lloyd Garrison this egalitarian approach to reform was destined to make the General Union 'the most efficient instrument in the cause of religion and public morality ever put into practice in any age and country.The linchpin of the General Union strategy was the Sabbatarian Pledge.Just as the American Temperance Society promoted complete abstinence from the evils of drink so the General Union would promote complete abstinence from the evils of Sabbath-breaking. By taking the Sabbatarian pledge General Union members bound themselves not only to abstain from all work travel and recreation on the Sabbath but also to boycott all transportation companies that operated on this day" John Spreading the News pp. 180-81. This pamphlet includes the General Union's Constitution minutes of its first convention held May 6. 1828 and a list of all delegates and officers as well as an address to the people of the United States on the importance of Sabbath observance in the maintenance of civil liberty.
