Any two members of the board may grant a certificate. Any member may grant a temporary certificate, upon examination, until the next regular meeting, at which time the temporary certificate ceases to be of effect (_ib._, s. 808). Before he shall be entitled to practise, the certificate must be recorded in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which he may reside or sojourn; and the clerk must certify thereon, under official seal, the fact and date of the record, and return the certificate (_ib._, s. 809). A practitioner engaged in the practice of medicine in any department prior to May 31st, 1889, upon the production of a diploma from a medical college recognized by the American Medical Association, is granted a certificate, without further examination and without charge (_ib._, s. 811). EXCEPTIONS.—This act is not applicable to persons who have complied with prior laws, nor to females practising midwifery, strictly as such. No other person shall practise medicine in any of its branches or departments, without having obtained and recorded a certificate (_ib._, s. 812). PENALTY.—Practising as a physician without a certificate is punishable by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or a fine not exceeding $200 (_ib._, s. 2,669). FEES.—To clerk, legal fee for recording (_ib._, s. 809). To board, $10 from each applicant whether certificate granted or not (_ib._, s. 810). GEORGIA.
