FAKE DOCTORS MUST vAMoosE.

 'rHealerS" and "Cure-AIIs" at Hot
 Springs to Have no Rest.
 Washington special to The New Or
 leans Picayune.
 Through an order promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior, the var ious kinds of swindlers who have done a rich business during the busy sea- son at Hot Springs, Ark. will be de- prived of their opportunities to fleece the public. Fake" doctors and their drummers, the opponents of peculiar cures. "healers" and the like, under graduate medical practitioners and charlatans generally, who have been taking advantage of the weakness of invalids to rob them, will hereafter be ruled off the Reservation, and any attempt now to practice the chicanery of other days will land people In jail.
 Because of thousands of complaints from victims who have been swindled at Hot Springs, the law passed by Congress last spring requiring every kind of doctor or healer to be ex- amined by Federal board of medical men before treating patients was pro- mulgated by Secretary Hitchcock. Accordingly every physician or sur geon now at Hot Springs, or who is going there. will have to appear be- fore this Board and obtain a certifi- cate or leave the Reservation. The department has adopted a new and stringent set of rules and regulations for the Government Reservations. which went into effect yesterday.
