MEDICOS
DON'T PAY
Annua! $40 License Fee
Declared to Be
NuIlity.

The doctors annual license fee of
$40 purported to have been imposed
by the Legislature of 1905, has been
knocked out by the Supreme Court. ~
finds as follows:
"That portion of Act 48 of the Ses-
sion Laws of 1905, which act amends
the first paragraph of Section 1o6s OF
the Revised Laws, providing that no
license shall be granted under the pro-
visions of this section unless the appli-
cant shall pay an annual fee of SIC, IS
invalid and void on the ground that II
discriminates between the holders of
the holders of licenses issued prior
thereto''
DIR. j. T. Mcdonald was the victim
selected by the Hawaiian Medical AS
ISOLATION to submit to prosecution for
violation of the act, for the purpose of
testing its validity. He had taken out
a license in 1900 and paid the fee of
$40 required by an applicant for
license to practice medicine and surg
cry. Now he refused to pay the an
nual fee of SO imposed by the amend
ment of 1905. District Magistrate
Whitney found him guilty of violating
the law and he appealed to the Su-
preme Court on points of law.
f'The Legislature has said in plain
and unmistakable words" the court
says, ''that anyone getting license
under the amending act shall pay an
annual fee of $40, and has failed to
provide that those who held licenses
prior to the enactment of the amending
act should be treated in the same man
ner.' From which it is concluded that
there is discrimination between the
holders of licenses under the amending
act and the holders of licenses issued
prior thereto
The court finds it unnecessary to pass
upon any of the other questions argued
and decides thus: "The appeal is sus
tanned. the Judgment of the District
Court reversed and the defendant dis
charged. -
Justice Wilder is the author of the
opinion. NJ. F. Prosser appeared for
the Territory, and c. F. Clemens for
the defendant
Even if the law had not been held
void, Dr. Mcdonald would not have
been guilty under its wording.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life, 1t is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
q crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
~ be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
boasting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil.
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such record of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says sci have
much pleasure in stating that /
have used it in cases of debility
and found it to be very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take. 70 You cannot be.disap-
