tenie of this city, secretary Of tife
state embalming board. against whom
rather strong charges were recently
filed by Or. L. /. Cahlll OF Springer.
has come back with a rcply 20 the
Springer physician which Is 10 say the
least hot one. Mr.. MDntonie prints
the following communication IN the
Raton Range.
am charged by DR.. 4. l.. Cahin OF
Springer, y. ~, that IN my official po-
sition as secretary OF the board Of
New Mexico Embalmers / refused 10
grant him license Ca practice en-
baiming. Dr. Cahill states fact, but
does not give the facts which made
my refusal obligatory. In 1919 Dr.
Cahiii appeared before our board In
Roswell and took the examination and
failed to pass, proving himself worse
than an amateur so far as the prac-
tlcal work N concerned. The FIRST
principle OF the embalmer's science OF
taking up an artery. had not az that
time entered either his theory or prac-
tice. Or, Hoenschoh OF Iowa city, one
OF the leading experts ana lecturers
ON embalming, was present az the
time and assisted In the examination.
and remarked that IN hts opinion the
candidate knew nothing whatever con-
cerning the practical work and GER
tainiy Was not entitled 10 a license.
Personally J took no part Ia the OK
animation except 10 examine his writ
ten answer on anatomy and mark

poor way 10 show the prejudice with
which ] ann charged. In 1914 Doctor
Cehiil visited Chicago and secured an
Illinois license and on his return 90
New Mexico came 10 Ration and Dc
manded "a Temporary license from me
on account Of his Illinois license. He
was refused because OF sections "A and
3 ] 81 the rules and regulations govern
lnR cur body. which state the apple
cant must have one years actual ex-
perience under a licensed emhnlmer
and that a temporary license cannot
be granted one who had failed to pass
