Rights Of Chiropractors Upheld.

The case of P. K. Norma It al. VS.
Maud Hastings ct al, in " Ach the
right of Chiropractors to practice in
Tennessee was upheld by the SUI
p"eme Court, the case appealed from
Memphis, the court held that Chiro-
practors cannot be prohibitc from
practicing their science of healing in
this State, the opinion of this case
being prepared and delivered for the
Court by Chief Justice Lansden, re-
versing the decree of the chancellor.
This case was brought to enjoin
tho defendants from treating persons
according to the Chiropractic method
on the ground that they had not COM
piled with tho general statutes regu-
latinG the practice of medicine,
which prohibited the practice of any
healing without license issued after
examination, and requiring as a con-
dltion to obtaining a license tn at
the applicant for license must pur-
sue a course of study covering many
subjects which Chiropractors have no
occasion to apply, and which they
do not study. Holding that Chiro-
practorS cannot be classed with char
latans and fakirs, SIM the method
of healing is well developed and
recognized in many Jurisdictions,
and believed in by many persons, and
there being no evidence in the case
that this method of treatment is in
any way injurious to the human
body, the court held that require
ment that Chiropractors must study
and be examined on subjects in no
way pertaining to their occupation
constitutes an arbitrary and unreas-
enable attempt to restrict their lib
critics and the liberty of the people
who wish to patroniZe them, such re-
quirements having no reasonable
tendency to promote the pubic safe
ty and welfare.

Miss Annie Little,
Union City, Tenn.
My Dear Madame: Perhaps you
wont think that | am unduly bold or
fresh" in writing, but all the same
l wlnt to say few words and trust
that you will understand my motive
in writing.
Really, l am interested in your
Tennessee friend, ...... For some
time l have observed him and the
progress he is making. He has got
ten me to answerssome of his letters,
and in that way l feel that | have
come to know you. l know that he
deserves worlds of credit for the
manner in which he has taken hold
of his studies and plugs along day
after day. And it is no idle flattery
when | say that it i5 largely due to
your encouragement and inspiration
that he has done so.
AS to myself? I am one of those
"unfortunates" If you care to term
them as such, who are now camping
here. I am newspaper man by
profession, having been on various
newspapers in this section before and
after the war. Several months ago
l broke down from the effects of ex-
posure during the service and since
that time have made my home with
Uncle Sans boys.
/ may be out i'll another month,
but am trying TO be patient, believ-
ing as l do that "all things are for
tho best" Maybe you have guessed
that am Presbyterian? Yes, that
is me, if you will pardon the slang.
l have taken c peculiar interest in
-. and am willing to do any
thing that l can for him. l have
heard his story and for that reason
If for no other I sympathize with him
in every particular.
l know that you mean much to
him and am sure that you are doing
a great work. l say this because
believe in handing out roses to the
living rather than building monu
ments to the departed. For fear that
he might not understand my motive
in writing you, please do not let him
know that | have taken this liberty. |
You see l don't want to appear as in
sincere to him. Sincerely,
