and is a licensed physician of the State
of Virginia. DR.. William c. Wood
ward, tie hea To officer, has submitted
a report upon the application, In which
he says that the licensing OF physicians

June 3, 1896. de says this law author
ICES the issue OF Licenses to liceDtlates
OF States under tain conditions, but
ONLY when such States issue licenses to
lIcent ates of the District under the
same conditions. DR.. Woodward says
the state OF Virginia does not so issue

under the law.
