These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Chiropractic, having to do with the health and well-being of the people, requires a high degree of general knowledge and technical skill and is a field where the power of the State may well be asserted to make sure that only properly qualified persons shall undertake its responsible and difficult duties.

Hilleboe, supra [ 12 N.Y.2d 109 , 237 N.Y.S.2d 289 , 187 N.E.2d 756 (1962)]. This is ample to meet the challenge that the statute is unconstitutional.””
