Opinion
Lead Opinion
Whelan, J.
State Board of Chiropractic Examiners (Board) appeals from a judgment ordering issuance of a peremptory writ of mandate that Board set aside its decision to suspend for 60 days the chiropractic Ecenses of Eugene, Luverne and Wayne Anderson and Raymond Null (petitioners).
On January 26, 1967, petitioners placed in a Ventura County newspaper *965 a full-page advertisement which announced the opening of their chiropractic clinic in Oxnard and which read in part as follows:
One section of the advertisement contained this language:
The advertisement also stated that most leading insurance companies paid for chiropractic care, and that only those who might be helped by treatment would be accepted as patients.
On February 1, 1967, petitioners placed a full-page advertisement in a weekly publication distributed in East Ventura County. Basically the ad stated that plaintiffs offered a free X-ray and analysis from February 1 to February 12, that the X-ray could let the patient know what was causing his trouble, and that Mr. Roy Anderson had donated $1,000 to be used for free diagnostic X-rays in gratitude for the speedy recovery of his wife.
