attention was attracted by an article
in the Los Angeles Times which told
of the persecution of poor, harmless

suit of which was considered by the
California Medical Board as a signal

This wonderful victory consisted of
the conviction of the poor fellow for
"praeticing medicine without license

prosecuted subject of this attack by
the medics is Armando Domuguez,
who made such a wonderful record by
miracle healing in the United States,

the fact that the records showed and
the defendant admitted that he had
no state license. the defense introduced
evidence showing that he had cured
the blind and made the lame walk, and
the jury returned "A verdict of not
guilty" holding that he had a divine
license which was manifest and in
alienable."
