Ureen for $20,000 damagea for alleged mat-. practice in treatment. IJr. jGreeo abtained judgment in hie suit for tervictg tbe lower Court, but an appeal was taken by tbe defendant to tbe Supreme Court, where the action was again tried before Judge Gibson aod a jury. trial of this case, which vcenpied three days, some af tbe most prominent I physicians aad rargeona in tbe State, including li.

Dr. Green, of conrse, obtained verdict from tbe jury for his services.

This settled tbe ouestion of ma' practice, to-day the auit against Dr. Green for $20,000 damages wa witbdrawnj aban doned and dismissed by plaintiff. The result of this litiiratiou a not poly a complete vindication and a triumph Dr. Green, but it is also i a tribute to hie skill as a pbysitinn and surgeon.

Mr. Seasiona said that the objects of the organization seemed to be miauooerstood by some of tba citizens of Oakland, who thought that it waa simply to forward the interests of bu ioeea man, whereas the true object wsa to forward the generai interests of the enmmuuity.
