Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““It is a waste of time in our judgment, to view the term ‘physician,’ from the standpoint of members of the profession belonging to the few great schools. It may be admitted that many, and perhaps most of them, think that no other healer should be known as a ‘physician’ or should be allowed to treat human ills for pay * * *. Neither need we go to the lexical definitions, where we would find a wide range, down to the simple definition, ‘one who administers medicine to cure disease.’ That medicine includes anything, however simple, ‘administered in the treatment of disease,’ and that disease includes any kind of disorder of the human system, needs no support other than our common knowledge.””
