The license must be recorded with the clerk of the district court in
the county in which the licensee resides; if he moves into another
county he must procure a certified copy of his license from the said
clerk and file it with the clerk of the district court in the latter
county (_ib._, s. 4).
PENALTY.—To practise without a license is a misdemeanor, punishable
by a fine of from $50 to $100, or imprisonment in county jail from
ten to ninety days, or both. Appending “M.D.” or “M.B.” to name, or
prescribing, directing, or recommending for use any drug or medicine or
other agency for the treatment, care, or relief of any wound, fracture,
or bodily injury, infirmity, or disease, is regarded as practising
medicine.
EXCEPTIONS.—The act is not applicable to dentists (_ib._, s. 6), nor
to commissioned surgeons of the United States army or navy, nor to
physicians or surgeons in actual consultation from other States or
Territories, nor to actual medical students practising medicine under
the direct supervision of a preceptor (_ib._, s. 5).
All persons licensed under the Act of 1883, c. 125, are regarded as
licensed under this act (_ib._, s. 7).
FEES.—To treasurer of board, for examination, $10.
MISSISSIPPI.
QUALIFICATION.—A practitioner of medicine must obtain a license from
the State board of health (Code 1892, s. 3,243).
Application is made in writing; and an examination is made in anatomy,
chemistry, obstetrics, materia medica, physiology, pathology, surgery,
and hygiene, and if the applicant is found by the board to possess
sufficient learning in those branches, and of good moral character, the
board issues a license to practise medicine, signed by each member who
approves (_ib._, s. 3,244).
The application must state the applicant’s full name, place of
residence, and post-office address, nativity and age, time spent in
medical studies, name and post-office address of the preceptor under
whom his medical studies were pursued, the courses of medical lectures
attended, the name of medical schools attended; if a graduate of a
medical college, the name thereof; the time spent in a hospital, the
time spent in the practice of medicine, if any, the school or system of
practice chosen, and references as to his personal character (_ib._, s.
3,245).
Examinations are to be conducted at the capital on the first Tuesday
in April and October annually, and continue until all applicants are
examined and the examinations are approved or disapproved; they are
upon written questions and answers, and no distinction can be made
between applicants because of different systems or schools of practice.
