DOES THE LAW PROTECT?

A number Of our patients who have been
swindled by travelling doctors. ask why don't
the law protect US ? We answer: Every doctor

Prothonotary bearing the seal Of the Court and
the date he registered his diploma. Self-called
doctors cannot show such receipt, and travel

can also examine Physicians Register in Pro-
thonotary's Office. Ladies don't employ a
Mrs. doctor who is not registered if you value
health. --,.g.
