DECEIVING THE PUBLIC.
Such ImposteIs Should be Arrested ana
Punished,

f1reenville Reflector.
On our recent trip to Klnston we
occupied the same car seat with DR..
Hyatt, who in course OF conversation
said that he had found out that there
were two Jews travelling the State selling
spectacles and representing themselves
as eye doctors, and that each OF them
was representing himself as his partner.
He was regretting that he did not
know OF any legal redress, 80 far as he
WAS concerned. But any party who
dealt with them on account OF their
concentrations could have them arrest
ed for obtaining money under false
pretenses. He further said that as
they we're calling themselves doctors,
that sheriffs of the various counties IN
which they are operating could and
ought to arrest them for practicine
medicine without license.
We think the legislature ought to
make it crime punishable by fine and
Imprisonment for any person to use
the title of doctor for the purpose Of
deceiving the people. The medical
profession of this State stands very
high in public esteem and We hoEe
they will take the matter up and urge
the next legislature to pass stringent
laws in regard to it. In the meantime
we hope the sheriffs Of the various
counties will look after all such people
by calling on them for their llcense e
practice medicine.
