فها
W. L. Curry was born in Union County, Ohio, June 25, 1839. He is the son of Stephenson Curry, and his grandfather, Colonel James Curry, was an officer of the "Continental Line" in the 4th and 8th Virginia during the War of the Revolution, and was granted, as part pay- ment for his service, one thousand acres of land in Union County and the family settled in that county in the year 1811. Mr. Curry, the subject of this sketch, worked on his father's farm during his boyhood days until he arrived at the age of twenty-one. He was given a good education in the country schools and he also attended a private select school for two or three terms at the old acad- emy in Marysville, the county seat, and taught school in the county four win- ters. In the fall of 1860 he entered the Otterbein College at Westerville, Ohio, intending to complete a scientific course in three years, and in January, 1861, commenced the study of law. The fall of 1860 ended his school days, as at the breaking out of the war of the rebellion he chilisted in su imseiry company in April, 1861, for the first three months' service. At the organiza- tion of the company he was elected First Lieutenant and the company commenced drilling at once, but the quota of Ohio was filled before this company was mustered in. He then enlisted in the first call for three years' troops as a private in the First Ohio Volunter Cavalry. At the organi- zation of the company he was appointed Orderly Sergeant and was promoted successively to Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant and to the Captaincy of his company, and also served several months as Regimental Quartermaster. Colonel Curry served through the war with his regiment, participating in all of the battles of the Army of the Cumberland, including the Siege of Corinth, Miss., Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge and the campaign of the "One hundred days under fire from Chattanooga to Atlanta."
He was at one time a prisoner of war and was discharged by reason of "injuries received in the line of duty," after a service of three and one-half years at the front.
After the war he engaged in the mercantile business in Union County, until the year 1875, and that year he was elected Auditor of Union County and served as County Auditor three successive terms. On retiring from that office he engaged in the lumber business, and in which he still retains an interest. He served as Assistant Adjutant General of Ohio during both President Mc- Kinley's terms as Governor, and also served in the National Guard of Ohio five years as Lieutenant Colonel of the 14th Regiment O. V. I.
His family has been engaged in all the wars in this country since the Revolution and two brothers served through the War of the Rebellion, and one of whom attained the rank of Captain. He has always taken a great in- terest in military affairs and has written and published the history of "Union County in the War," a history of the "First Ohio Cavalry," and a number of patriotic poems.

THE BOARD OF MEDICAL, REGISTRATION AND EXAMINATION.
T HE law providing for the State Board of Medical Registration and Examination was passed on February 27, 1896 (Sections 4403c, d, e, f, and g, Revised Statutes of Ohio.)
The first Board was appointed by Governor Bushnell in March, 1896, and held its first session on March 25, 1896.
The Board consists of seven members representing the different schools of medicine in proportion to their numerical strength in the State, and the members are appointed by the Governor, each for a term of seven years.
The Secretary, who is made executive officer of the Board by the law, is not a member of the Board, but is elected each year by the Board. The law requires that the Secretary shall be a physician in good standing.
The purpose of this department is to regulate the practice of medicine, surgery and midwifery in the State of Ohio, and to protect the people of the state from illegal practitioners of the same.
The duties of the department consist of the examination and regis- tration of competent persons for the practice of medicine, surgery and midwifery, the regulation of medical colleges and the prosecution of illegal practitioners of medicine, surgery and midwifery.
The department is self-supporting, depending upon the fees col- lected from the examination and registration of physicians and midwives for its revenue.
The law of February 27, 1896, provided that the Board should issue certificates upon the basis of graduation from medical colleges recognized as in good standing by the Board. On April 14, 1900, an amendment to the law of February 27, 1896 (Sections 4403c-f, Revised Statutes of Ohio), was passed requiring that all applicants for registration in the State of Ohio shall appear before the Board and pass an examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Practice of Medicine, Practice of Surgery, Obstetrics, Pathology and such other subjects as the Board may require.
The fee for registration under the provisions of the law of February 27, 1896, was $5.00, and the fee for examination under the present law is $25.00.
The following facts are stated for the information of those desiring to practice medicine or surgery in the State of Ohio:

THE STATE BOARD OF DENTAL EXAMINERS.
T HE Seventy-fifth General Assembly amended the law regulating the practice of Dentistry in Ohio. The wholesale registration permitted by the former law is restricted, and only graduates of Ohio colleges up to June meeting of the Board, 1905, and pro- prietors of dental offices continuously since January 1, 1893, are per- mitted to register without examination.
The clause in law admitting an under-graduate "to examination during the years 1902 and 1903 who is a legal resident of this State and has been a student of dentistry, under a preceptor, for twelve months prior to the passage of this act" has eliminated its effect, by expiration of stated period ; therefore, no under-graduate is eligible to examination.
After 1905, June meeting, everyone who desires to practice dentistry in Ohio must be a graduate of a reputable Dental College and pass the State Board of Dental Examiners, before a certificate of registration will be issued; therefore, our law eventually works into a very effective one.
The registration fee is $10.00; the examination fee $20.00. There have been 3,534 certificates of registration issued since the passage of the former law, which took effect July 4, 1892; however, a great many of these were issued to persons having no intention of practicing in Ohio, but registered because the law was so lax-a diploma and fee of $2.00 was all that was required.
At last meeting of Board the Secretary was authorized to prepare and publish a list giving location of all registered dentists in Ohio, mail- ing copy to each which will very materially assist in eradicating an illegal element.
Judge Marcus G. Evans rendered a very able opinion sustaining Board in case of Glenn vs. State Board of Dental Examiners. Glenn had brought mandamus proceedings to compel Board to register him under provisions of former law.

THE BOARD OF PHARMACY.
O RIGINALLY created by act of the General Assembly, March, 1884. Object, to regulate the practice of pharmacy in the state of Ohio. Board composed of five members. Term five years. The term of one member expires each year (March or April). Appointment by the governor with consent of the Senate. The Ohio Pharmaceutical Association recommends each year five persons from which the governor may appoint one for the vacancy.
The principal executive officer is the secretary, whose office is at the capitol.
This officer is a member of the board and is elected annually by the board.
All persons engaged in the practice of pharmacy in Ohio as propri- etors or managers of retail drug stores were registered without examina- tion as pharmacists and received certificates of such registration by reason of their being in such practice when the law was enacted. Those en- gaged as clerks or assistants under the same conditions were likewise registered and received certificates as assistant pharmacists.
The limit within which any person could take advantage of this pro- vision was three months, and that limit expired in July, 1884. Subse- quent to that date all persons are required to pass an examination in order to secure a certificate of registration entitling them to practice pharmacy in Ohio.
Certificates are issued for a period of three years and renewable tri- ennially so long as the holder continues to practice pharmacy in this state.
The renewal fee is two dollars for pharmacist and one dollar for an assistant pharmacist. Examinations are held on the second Tuesdays and Wednesdays of the months of January, May and October, all in Colum- bus. The requirements for pharmacists' examination are four years' ex- perience in the business of a retail apothecary, and for an assistant pharmacist two years' like experience. Credit on this requirement is given for time spent in receiving instrution in a recognized college of pharmacy, but under-graduates do not receive credit for college work on pharmacists' examination. For the first grade the applicant must be 21 years of age, and for the second, 18 years of age.
The examination fee for pharmacist is five dollars, and for an as- sistant two dollars. No additional charge for registration or certificate. Original certificates issued for three years.

The Board of Pharmacy.
Every pharmacy, or retail drug or chemical store must be under the immediate supervision of a registered pharmacist. Assistant pharmacists may sell or compound drugs, medicines or poisons only in a store which is in charge of a registered pharmacist. The board is charged with the duty . of enforcing the statute.
The act of 1884 was repealed April 21, 1898, and a new one enacted in its place. The provisions of examination and registration (as outlined above) are those embodied in the later act. The status of the board was not changed.
The expenses of the board are paid from the fees and penalties aris- ing from renewal fees, examination fees, and the penalties arising from fines in prosecutions. Receipts are paid into the state treasury and ex- penses paid on warrant issued by the Auditor of State.

THE BOARD OF LIVE STOCK COMMISSIONERS.
-
W. W. MILLER, SECRETARY. `DR. PAUL FISCHER, VETERINARIAN.
A CCORDING to a law passed May 7, 1902, the Ohio State Board of Agriculture constitutes the State Board of Live Stock Com- missioners. This Board appoints a veterinarian, who is sub- ject to its rules and regulations, and, in certain cases, when deemed advisable, additional veterinarians may be temporarily appointed.
This Board is delegated with power to prescribe rules for carrying into effect and enforcing all the laws of the state with reference to pro- tecting live stock and exterminating disease, and is authorized to, and does, co-operate with the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. The scope of the Board's work is entirely administrative in character, the object being not to treat disease, but to prevent its spread and provide means for eradication. Prevention is brought about, as far as possible, by enforcing the laws forbidding the transportation of diseased animals through the state, and by regu- lating the sanitary condition of stock-yards and railway cars and other conveyances used for transporting animals; and also the condition of buildings and public and private premises where live stock may be quartered.
The shipments of Southern cattle infested with ticks, the carriers of Southern cattle fever, are carefully guarded and regulated. Under the rules and regulations of this Board, Southern cattle, which are liable to convey Southern cattle fever (Texas fever) to native cattle, must be shipped in distinctly placarded cars and unloaded in special pens provided , for that purpose. Cars and other conveyances used for transporting such cattle must be thoroughly disinfected, according to prescribed methods, before they can again be used for transporting other animals or merchandise of any kind. In this way the spread of Southern cattle fever can be kept under absolute control.
When dangerously infectious or contagious diseases break out their further spread is checked by enforcing strict quarantine regulations. In enforcing these regulations and in receiving information regarding out- breaks of dangerous diseases the co-operation of live stock owners and transportation companies is of the greatest value, in fact without such co-operation no effective work can be done.

The Board of Live Stock Commissioners.
Certain widespread diseases and others of a very malignant nature receive particular attention. The introduction of diseases at present not existing in the United States, but which might at any time be introduced with imported animals, such diseases, for instance, as contagious pleuro- - pneumonia in cattle and foot and mouth disease in cattle, swine and other animals are guarded with the greatest caution, since their introduction would mean incalculable losses to individuals and their extermination an enormous cost to the country. When in the opinion of the Board of Live Stock Commissioners it is necessary to prevent the further spread of any dangerous, contagious, or infectious disease, to destroy certain affected or exposed animals, such animals, after being examined by the state veterinarian and pronounced affected with the disease in question, may be ordered destroyed. For animals thus destroyed the owner receives a certain compensation from the state. Claims under this provision must be approved by the Board of Live Stock Commissioners, reported by this Board to the Governor, and by him communicated to the legislature with the recommendation, if the matter is approved by him, that the proper appropriation be made to pay such claims. Thus far this provision has been applied to glanders in horses and mules, and rabies (hydrophobia) in swine.
