Head Matter:
Otto Daniel v. The State.
No. 6321.
Decided June 8, 1921.
Rehearing denied November 8, 1921.
1. — Illegal Practice of Medicine — Date of Offense — Rule Stated — Limitation.
Proof of relevant facts is competent going to show that the offense was committed at any time within the period of limitation, and anterior to the presenting of the indictment. Following Russell v. State, 53 Texas Crim. Rep., 500, and other cases.
2. — Same—Rehearing—Practice on Appeal.
The burden is not upon the court of appeals to discuss all questions raised. To do so would extend the opinion beyond reasonable limits. However, in the instant case this was done.
3.: — Same—Misdemeanor—Charge of Court — Bill of Exceptions.
In misdemeanor cases complaints of the charge of the court and of refusal to' give requested charges are reviewable only upon bills of exception. Following Brown v. State, 73 Texas Crim. Rep., 574.
4. — Same—Rule Stated — Fundamental Error.
In the absence of bills of exception, and of fundamental error, the conviction being for misdemeanor, the judgment below must be affirmed.
Appeal from the County Court of Angelina. Tried below before the Honorable John F. Robinson.
Appeal from a conviction of illegally practicing medicine; penalty,, a fine of $50 and a jail sentence of 30 minutes.
The opinion states the case.
N. D. Wright and John Reddett, for appellant.
R. H, Hamilton, Assistant Attorney General, for the State.

Opinion:
MORROW, PRESIDING Judge.
Appellant was convicted of practicing medicine in violation of the law; punishment fixed at a fine of $50 and a jail sentence of thirty minutes.
Appellant is shown to have been a chiropractor, engaged in practicing medicine for pay in violation of the provisions of the Penal Code, Chap. 6, Title 12. See Hicks v. State, 88 Texas Crim. Rep., 438, 227 S. W. Rep., 302.
The indictment was filed on the 10th day of December, 1920, and charged the offense to have been committed on or about the 22nd day of October, 1919, and anterior to the presentment of the indictment.
Some of the acts relied upon by the State occurred subsequent to-October 22, 1919, but prior to the filing of the indictment. The admission of these acts were complained of upon the ground that the-State should have been limited to proof of acts occurring prior to-October 22nd. We think the appellant's contention is not sound. Proof of relevant facts was competent going to show that the offense was. committed at any time within the period of limitation and anterior to-the presenting of the indictment. Branch's Crim. Law Sec. 275; Russell v. State, 53 Texas Crim. Rep., 500.
No other questions requiring discussion are raised.
No error appearing, the judgment is affirmed.
Affirmed.
