The members of the medical profession in Ann Arbor are often annoyed by persons pretending to have taken special courses of instruction under them.

While in Traverse City recently it was noticed that a travelling optician named Prof. J. Wilson Edmuns advertised having taken a special course of instruction on the eye under Dr. O. A. Griffin, of this city. When an Argus reporter interviewed Dr. Griffin on the subject, he said: "Mr. Edmuns recently came under my care as a patient but no course of instruction was given him by me and he has no authority to use my name in his advertisement or in any connection therewith."

These cases are of frequent occurence. Men find it a very good advertising scheme to claim to have received instruction under the physicians here, so wide a reputation has the medical profession in this city won.
