Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Callie E. Morris, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Brooklyn [County of Kings], convicting the defendant of the crime of violating section 1142-a of the Penal Law (prohibiting advertisements relating to certain diseases) unanimously affirmed. In our opinion (1) the evidence amply supports the determination of the court below, and (2) section 1142-a of the Penal Law is not offensive to any constitutional provision. (Vide People v.
