GOVERNMENT WILL
 EXAMINE MEDICOS.

Hot Springs, Aug. 20. The order is- sued today by the secretary of the government medical board calling for examination of all physicians who de- sire to prescribe the use of the hot water to patients has caused consider able comment in professional circles as well as among citizens and visitors generally. Several weeks ago the medical board requested that all phy- sicians register their names, stating whether they had been engaging in the drumming practice.
 The order calling for an examina- tion has been expected since the first order went into effect, but the board delayed for some reason and it was thought that this plan outlined by the board upon it's appointment had been abandoned.
 The board is making an effort to give the visitors the fullest protection possible.
 First, it is declared, no physician who engages in drumming will be per mitted to prescribe the hot water for their patients, upon conviction of the charge of drumming. The second or der means that no physician who fails to stand an examination will be per- mitted to prescribe the use of the hot water baths. thus throwing a double protection around the visitor.
 The examination of physicians will be watched with great interest by every citizen in the city.
