are in receipt of very full reports of the defeat in the North Carolina legislature of a bill entitled, "An act to define the Practice of Medicine and Surgery," in which these terms were construed to mean "the management or treatment for fee or reward of any case of disease, physical or mental, real or imaginary, with or without drugs, surgical operation, surgical or mechanical appliances, or by any other method whatsoever: Provided, that this shall not apply to midwives, nor to nurses acting under the direction of a registered physician.
