Law Banning Doctors' Acts Is Upheld Annapolis
The Maryland Court of Appeals today upheld a 1943 act prohibiting physicians and surgeons from advertising in newspapers and on radio. The decision, written by Judge Edward S Delaplaine, rejected Dr. William A. Davis of Baltimore's claim that the statute was arbitrary. The court ruled the regulation aimed to protect public ethics and could target medical advertising without extending to other professions. The act carries fines of 50 to 300 dollars or license revocation and was challenged after Davis reported a drop in earnings post enactment.
