were opposed to the measure. Mr.. Gross,
of the firm of Hyde, Gross & Hyde of
Hartford, appeared in favor of the bill
which is primarily aimed to shut out from
practice all frauds and quacks, who are
unable to present a diploma from some re-
cognized medical school. Mr.. Joseph L.
Barbour appeared in opposition to the pro-
posed law and its provisions were dis
GUESSED at length. If the bill Ia passed it

now praeticing in the state nor will it cur
tail their privileges Ia any way. Its pro-
