Petition #11484302

Abstract

One hundred fourteen citizens of Tennessee "request that the Laws of the State may be so changed as to permit 'Doctor Jack' to continue the practice of the healing art." The petitioners represent that "in his disposition he is humble, unobtrusive, peaceable and quiet; and in his morals altogether irreproachable, possessing great medical skill, particularly in obstinate diseases of long standing, and capable of great usefulness to the community in which he may reside." They further aver that "Doctor Jack is about 60 years of age, and has been a public practitioner of medicine 16 years, giving offence to no one, creating no disturbance, and until recently meeting no disturbance in the quiet pursuit of his business."

Result: Referred to committee.
