““It may be conceded that" the words ‘material or not material’ are sufficiently broad to include at least every human or natural agency. But was it intended by the legislature to denominate as a medical agency, whether material or not material, an agency claimed to be supernatural? ... In other words, the ' word ‘agency,’ even as qualified by the words ‘material or not material,’ was intended by the legislature to mean a substance.of the general character of a drug or medicine, or surgical apparatus or appliance, the obvious purpose being to protect society against the evils which might result from the use of drugs and medicines by the ignorant and unskillful.” ( 4 Ga. App. 297, 298 .)”
