CONTROL OF MASSEURS.
THE, BILL EE-MODELLED. (By Wire.—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. The MasseuriTßegistration Bill, which gave rise to some discussion earlier in the session, has been returned to the House of Representatives from the Public Health Committee in an amended form. Mr. Newman, the chairman of the committee, stated to-day that the Bill had been made quite harmless. It would simply enable the public to distinguish between masseurs who were qualified, and those who were not qualified. It did not interfere in its amended form with chiropractors, faith healers, hypnotists, or other practitioners of the kind. Clause 10 of the Bill, which prohibited the treatment of disease by massage or medical electricity remedian exercises' of any other branch of physiotherapy without the sanction of a doctor, has been deleted from the Bill. The issue of licenses is to be controlled by a board of. consisting of the InspectorGeneral of Hospitals, a representative of the masseur, arid a doctor nominated by the Government. The original, proposal was that, the Inspeetor-GeneynJ should have full authority.
