Fry, the chiropractor, who recently opened headquarters in this city over the Lachot & Rice drug store, has received a notice from the state board of medical registration and examination that action would have to be taken against him, and as soon as sufficient evidence can be secured papers will be filed. Mr. Fry, who came here from Huntington, was warned by the same notice there, and was taken into the court for trial. A jury was empanelled, but as they could not come together on a verdict, the judge dismissed the case until the January term of court. Mr. Fry says that he will remain here until he is; shown that he can be put out of the state. There has been considerable trouble regarding the practice of chiropractics in this state, but as yet none have been driven out. Mr. Fry assures his patrons that he will continue here and give them the same service as though there were nothing of the kind under way, and should there be such a thing that he will have to leave, will notify his patrons in ample time. Mr. Fry is a member of the Universal Chiropractic association, and the organization is fighting the case mentioned above, and should they lose in the lower courts it will be carried by them to the higher courts.
