Judgment of conviction of the Court of Special Sessions reversed on the law and the facts, and a new trial ordered. It was error for the court to find, as it did, on the undisputed facts as a matter of law that the defendant was *781guilty of a violation of the statute,* as complained of. Whether he was guilty of practicing medicine without a license, within the meaning of the statutory exception, was a question of fact to be determined on all the evidence adduced on the trial.
