She is a Regular Graduate of Willametic University A REPUBLICAN reported called yesterday on Dr. Laura A. Harris of Drs. Brown & Harris, corner of I and Mariposa streets, to interview her with reference to the charge made against her by Dr. Maupin of practicing medicine without a proper certificate. Dr. Harris, who is a beautiful and affable lady laughed when the reporter announced his errand. "There is absolutely nothing in the charge," she said. "It was preferred against me because we advertise and because we are doing a bigger business than many of the doctors here. I hold a medical diploma from Willamette University, Oregon, a reputable institution whose graduates are recognized by the regular medical profession in Fresno and elsewhere. I hold also a certificate from Professor Samuel Schenk, professor of Histology, Embryolegy and Pathology in the University of Vienna, Austria; also one from Professor Vice, Professor of Obstetrics, and one from Augustus Brau of the same University. I studied under each of them. "I sent my diploma together with a statement, the required $5 fee, and a letter of recommendation from James Brown, M.D.L.D., Secretary of the State Board of Health of Oregon to Dr. Wadsworth, Secretary of the California Board of Health, asking him for a certificate to practice. I called on Dr. Wadsworth on November 9th and he told me that my application had been received too late for the action of the board at that meeting, but that it would be attended to at the next meeting, the second Tuesday in December. He said that I might open my office, that it would be all right and that there was no reason why my certificate should not be granted. But since I have begun to advertise the matter has been delayed. I am entitled to the certificate and I have taken all the steps necessary to obtain it. It is no fault of mine if the state board of health has failed to do its duty."
