AN ANOMALY
Sir, — On Saturday while an Invercargill magistrate was proclaiming to the .Dominion, through the Press, that “anyone who likes can practise medicine,” a Wellington magistrate was inflicting a fine of £2O on an unregistered dentist. It seems an absurd contrast. Any “professor,’’ according to Mr. G. Cruiekshank, S.M., can set up his gilded sign and offer to cure the ills of mankind, but the poor Scot, who having been registered on his native heath, endeavours to make a few bawbees not by doing anything so dangerous as pulling teeth, but by repair work, is scotched immediately. Dentistry is probably a much more dangerous practice in the eyes of the law than medicine. ANTI- “PROFESSOR.”
