d. N. Mckee, OF $50 Adams avenue,
Scranton, vas arrested by Constable
Vaughn, of this place, on charge of
attempting to heal the sick for a valu-
able consideration without having first
registered as a practicing physician.
Mckee is a Christian scientist, or faith
curist, and the specific case on which
the charge was based was that Of the
late Elmer l.. Brown. Mr.. Brown had
suffered for q long time with Bright's
disease; and, long before the Scranton
man endeavored to foist his baseless
nonsense upon him, had been given up
to die by every regular physician that
saw him. But the roseate picture that
the man of science painted him gave
promise of possible hope, even in the
death hour. The only harm that could
possibly come to him was the sufferings
he might endure by abstaining from
medicine, as that is one of the funda-
mental elements Of their creed, and he
accepted the Droffer5d help. McKee's
offense consisted in breaking the law,
which explicitly states that nobody
shall attempt to heal the sick for a
valuable consideration without regis
tering as regular physician. He gave
bail in the sum Of $500 for his appear
ance here for hearing Monday next.
