1925 MASS. REG. OF MEDICINE CERT. FOR RUSSELL J. FIELDS

I PURCHASED THIS AT AN ESTATE SALE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A NICE LITTLE PIECE OF HISTORY. THE CERTIFICATE READS THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS BOARD OF REGISTRATION IN MEDICINE ESTABLISHED A.D. 1894 THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT RUSSELL JOSEPH FIELDS OF WASHINGTON, D.C., A GRADUATE OF GEORGETOWN UNIV. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE IN THE YEAR 1925, HAVING PASSED A SUCCESSFUL EXAMINATION BEFORE THIS BOARD, HAS BEEN REGISTERED AS PROVIDED BY THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH. BOSTON, DECEMBER 10, 1925. CERTIFICATE NO. 13301. IT MEASURES 14 BY 10 INCHES. IT IS MOUNTED ON A PIECE OF CARDBOARD. THE TWO UPPER CORNERS ARE DAMAGED. Check out my other items! I REALLY ENJOY SHIPPING WORLD WIDE BUT FIND IT NECESSARY TO ADD A DISCLAIMER DUE TO LOST MAIL IN OTHER COUNTRIES. THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE OUT OF THE COUNTRY SHIPPING IS TO SHIP PRIORITY AND THEN THE ITEM IS AUTOMATICALLY INSURED. I CAN NO LONGER BE MADE LIABLE FOR SOMETHING OUT OF MY CONTROL--LOST MAIL. IF I HAVE PROOF THAT I SHIPPED AN ITEM AND SOMEONE ELSE LOSES THE ITEM THEN I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS FAIR TO MAKE ME RESPONSIBLE. I WILL CONTINUE TO SHIP WORLD WIDE BUT HIGHLY RECOMMEND PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AND WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST MAIL AFTER IT IS OUT OF MY HANDS.
