Chap. 543.—An ACT for the relief of W. P. McGinnis, a dentist of Grayson
county.

Approved February 29, 1896.

Whereas by an act approved January first, eighteen hundred and
ninety, certain qualifications were imposed upon persons wishing to
practice dentistry in the state of Virginia; and

Whereas the said act further provides that persons who shall be
engaged in the practice of dentistry in the commonwealth on the
first day of January, eighteen hundred and ninety, and who shall
comply with the requirements of section seventeen hundred and
seventy-four of that act, shall be otherwise exempt from the provi-
Blons of said act; and

Whereas W. P. McGinnis was a practical dentist at that time, and
had practiced his profession in this state for several years previous
to the first day of January, eighteen hundred and ninety, and was
temporarily out of this state on that date, but shortly thereafter
returned to this state and continued his practice; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
said W. P. McGinnis be, and he is hereby, granted the same rights
and privileges as those in actual practice in the state on the first
day of January, eighteen hundred and ninety, subject to the require-
ments of section seventeen hundred and seventy-four as aforesaid
of said act and amendments thereof.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
