Scope and Content

J. Drysdale, Liverpool, to Dr. Thomas, wherein Mr. Drysdale, states that the only course for Dr. Thomas to follow is to snap his fingers at the registration law and practice under his foreign degree. There is in this case no stigma attached to it as the non-recognition arises plainly from prejudice and not from fraud and incompetency. He thinks his best plan would be to ascertain from his lawyer the the exact form of words he can use without breaking the law to convey the fact that he is a physician by examination with a foriegn diploma not recognised from prejudice, in this way he should be alright for the rest of his life. It would be no disability except in applying for a public situation which he is not likely to do.
