Excerpt from Sixth Annual Report of the State Board of Medical Examiners of New Jersey, 1896 Our present medical law meets the requirements of the times in an eminent degree, and some Of its provisions have been extensively copied throughout the country by a number of the thirty-nine States which maintain Examining Boards. It remains for the proper enforcement of the law to elevate the profession Of medicine in this State to a higher position than it has yet occupied, and to establish upon a broader basis its well-earned reputation for skill. The elevation of the standard of medical education will alone free our State from medical charlatans and impostors. It is not patent medicines, nor the medical quack, that the people want, but relief from their phys ical ailments. Thorough and long-continued medical training will best afford this, and the license of the State should be the guarantee to the public that its possessor is well qualified, by a thorough scien tific and practical medical education, to successfully conserve the public health. This is the more important since our State is situated between the two great educational centers, New York and Philadel phia, and hosts Of young practitioners, graduates of numerous med ical schools Of all grades, are constantly knocking at our doors.
