““The defendant maintained an office to which people were invited to come for the relief of human ailments. He admits that there were certain of such ailments which he did not profess to treat. It would seem to follow that he represented and held himself out to the public as possessing the necessary knowledge and skill to determine whether the ailment of the person brought to him was such an one as his treatment would probably relieve. . . . To so determine, it was incumbent on him to use reasonable care and skill to ascertain whether the ailments were of the class to which his treatment applied.””
