A license issued by the last-mentioned board must be recorded in the
office of the judge of probate of the county (_ib._, s. 1,299). The
license or diploma, after record, is evidence of authority; if the
original be lost, a certified copy of the record is sufficient evidence
(_ib._, s. 1,300). Without a certificate of qualification from the
board provided for in sec. 1,301, except as above provided, no person
can lawfully practise medicine in any of its branches or departments
as a profession or means of livelihood (_ib._, s. 1,302). The standard
of qualification, method or system, and subjects of examination are
prescribed by the medical association of the State (_ib._, s. 1,303).
The board of medical examiners, on application, must examine an
applicant for a certificate of qualification as a practitioner of
medicine, and if he be found qualified, and of good moral character
must issue a certificate (_ib._, s. 1,304).
Physicians having a license as above before the organization in a
county of a board, are on application thereto entitled to a certificate
without examination and to be registered as licensed practitioners of
medicine (_ib._, s. 1,305).
The certificate is a license throughout the State. It must be recorded
in the office of the judge of probate of the county in which the person
resides at the time of issue. Upon recording it, the judge must indorse
a certificate of record and sign it and affix the seal of the court
(_ib._, s. 1,306). Such certificate, or, if lost, a certified copy of
the record, is evidence (_ib._, s. 1,307).
PENALTY.—A contract for the services of a physician or surgeon is void
unless he has authority to practise; proof of authority is not required
at trial except on two days’ notice (_ib._, s. 1,318).
Practising medicine or surgery without a certificate is a misdemeanor
under a penalty of a fine of from $25 to $100. This provision is not
applicable to physicians practising medicine in Alabama in 1890, who
are graduates of a respectable medical college and have complied with
the law by having their diplomas recorded by the judge of probate in
the county where they practise; nor to a physician who has practised in
the State for the past five years (Act 1890-91, c. 376); nor to women
practising midwifery (Code 1887, s. 1,308).
FEES.—The statutory fees are as follows:
To judge of probate, for record of diploma, or license or certificate,
$1 (_ib._, s. 1,298, 1,299, 1,306).
To board of medical examiners, for examination, actual expenses (_ib._,
s. 1,304).
