Examinations of persons not graduates are made by the State board,
wholly or partly in writing, in anatomy, physiology, chemistry,
pathology, surgery, obstetrics, and practice of medicine (exclusive of
materia medica and therapeutics) (_ib._, s. 3,553).
The holder of a certificate should have it recorded in the office of
the clerk of the county in which he resides, and the record indorsed
thereon, and on removing to another county to practise should procure
an indorsement to that effect on the certificate from the county
clerk, and record this certificate in the county to which he removes
(_ib._, s. 3,554).
The board may refuse certificates to persons convicted of conduct of
criminal nature; and may revoke certificates for like cause (_ib._, s.
3,356).
DEFINITION.—Professing publicly to be a physician and prescribe for
the sick, or attaching to name “M.D.,” or “surgeon” or “doctor” in a
medical sense, is regarded as practising medicine. Gratuitous services
in case of emergency are not prohibited (_ib._, s. 3,557).
PENALTY.—The penalty for violation of the act is a fine of from $50 to
$300, or imprisonment in the county jail from ten days to thirty days,
or fine and imprisonment for each offence; filing or attempting to file
the diploma or certificate of another, or false or forged evidence, is
a felony punishable the same as forgery (_ib._, s. 3,558).
SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.—Certificates are issued without prejudice,
partiality, or discrimination as to schools or systems of practice or
medicine, including the electropathic school (_ib._, s. 3,561).
FEES.—To treasurer of board by graduates and practitioners of ten
years’ standing, $5. By candidates for examination, $10 (_ib._, s.
3,552).
To county clerk, for recording certificate, $1 (_ib._, s. 3,554).
