statements in the application, unless the matter
misrepresented actually contributed to the death of the insured.[337] A
provision that suicide, unless contemplated when the application for a
policy was made, shall be no defense is equally valid.[338] When a
cooperative life insurance association is reorganized so as to permit it
to do a life insurance business of every kind, policyholders are not
deprived of their property without due process of law.[339] Similarly,
when the method of liquidation provided by a plan of rehabilitation of a
mutual life insurance company is as favorable to dissenting
policyholders as would have been the sale of assets and pro rata
distribution to all creditors, the dissenters are unable to show any
taking without due process. Dissenters have no constitutional right to a
particular form of remedy.[340]

Professions, Trades, Occupations

Employment Agencies.--An act imposing license fees for
operating such agencies and prohibiting them from sending applicants to
an employer who has not applied for labor does not deny due process of
law.[341]

Pharmacies.--A Pennsylvania law forbidding a corporation to own
therein any drug store, excepting those owned and operated at the time
of the enactment, unless all its stockholders are licensed pharmacists,
violates the due process clause as applied to a foreign corporation, all
of whose stockholders are not pharmacists, which sought to extend its
business in Pennsylvania by acquiring and operating therein two
additional stores.[342]

Miscellaneous Business, Professions, Trades, and
Occupations.--The practice of medicine, using this word in its most
general sense, has long been the subject of regulation;[343] and in
pursuance of its power a State may exclude osteopathic physicians from
hospitals maintained by it or its municipalities;[344] and may regulate
the practice of dentistry by prescribing qualifications that are
reasonably necessary, requiring licenses, establishing a supervisory
administrative board, and by prohibiting certain advertising regardless
of its truthfulness.[345] But while statutes requiring pilots to be
licensed[346] and railroad engineers to pass color blindness tests[347]
have been sustained, an act making it a misdemeanor for a person to act
as a railway passenger conductor without having had two years'
experience as a freight conductor or brakeman is invalid.[348]

Legislation has been upheld which regulated or require
