OPINION TEXT STARTS HERE

Error to Hancock County Court; Warren H. Orr, Judge.

Thomas Morris, of La Crosse, Wis., Clyde P. Johnson, of Carthage, O. C. Kirkpatrick, of Dallas City, and L. Lamet, of Warsaw, for plaintiff in error.

Oscar E. Carlstrom, Atty. Gen., Homer H. Williams, State's Atty., of Hamilton, and Merrill F. Wehmhoff, of Decatur, for the People.

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff in error, H. E. Puckett, was convicted in the county court of Hancock county of violating the Medical Practice Act (Smith-Hurd Rev. St. 1925, c. 91, § 1 et seq.). He prosecutes this writ of error to reverse the judgment, on the ground that the statute is unconstitutional and that the court erred in sustaining a demurrer to his plea of former conviction.

The questions in this case are the same as those in People v. Hawkinson (No. 17702) 155 N. E. 318, and for the reasons given in the opinion filed in that case we find them with out merit. The judgment is therefore affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.
