Akron, O., March 27.—Judge J. A. Kohler rendered an important decision to-day bearing on the Mosgrove law. The decision was on an appeal from the Mayor's court, wherein Mayor Harper finded "Doctor" Eugene Eastman, who practised osteopathy here for some months past, $25 and costs for not having complied with the provisions of the above law. Judge Kohler reversed the decision of the Mayor, and decided that Eastman had a right to practice osteopathy. The Celsus Club, an organization composed of young physicians, which has had Eastman arrested several times on the same charge, will see that the case is appealed to the Circuit Court, and, if Judge Kohler's decision is sustained will carry it to the Supreme Court.
Judge Kohler holds that the law cannot be construed so broadly as to cover massage treatment, faith cure, Christian Science, or many other forms of treatment in which medicine is not used; and this clearly leaves the science of osteopathy out of the province of the Mosgrove bill.—The Cleveland Leader.
