An Important Decision

The following excerpts taken from a summary with comments respecting the ruling of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, appeared originally in the September number of Physical Culture, and was written by G. Edwards. It comes to us through the columsn of the Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer.—Eds.

"The Supreme Court of North Carolina has just handed down an opinion which is encouraging to every American citizen who loves fair play, and especially to those who may have suffered from the tyranny of laws enacted under the pressure of powerful, but quietly working medical societies.

"Their influence in the state legislature is powerful in having laws passed for their own protection. They often come to prattle about the need of protection for 'the common weal,' 'the ignorant and helpless common people,' and by such means they have sought to secure the passage of laws which have restricted the rights of others and trampled the 'equal privileges for all' under foot.
