Many worthies law schools are flourishing:- according to the report, and "thfir Ill-trained products are enticed into a career for which they are not fitted with resultant direct injury to their clients, to the community and themselves. In addition these schools exert an unfortunate influence upon bar examiners, rendering these latter fearful of making their own standards what they term impracticably high. The better law schorls are at once deprived of the valuable check that adequate bar examination tests, keyed to their own method of Instruction, would provide, and. are tempted to meet competition from inferior schools by compromising their own ideals."

I had such pains in my back and lower

Fart or stomach could not lie in bed. I suffered bo it seemed a though I would die and I was not regular either. I suffered for a year and was unfit to do my housework, could only wash dishes ence in a while. I read an advpr.
