Excerpt from Transactions of the Minnesota State Medical Society, 1889 Our present law is similar, but far superior, to that govern ing Illinois, North Carolina and Virginia. Its practical work ing has demonstrated its usefulness in those States, and cer tainly in our own, where out of ninety-nine applicants, thirty five have been rejected. The necessity for its retention upon our statute books is no longer a question for debate, but we, as its progenitors, must see to it that it is not crippled by Oflicious legislation, and that those physicians to whom has been intrusted the great responsibility of administering it, shall do their duty to the full, and Shall have not only our moral, but our financial support, when needed.
