A medical school is defined as a medical school or college which requires a previous examination for admission to its courses of study, and which requires for granting the degree of “M.D.” attendance on at least three courses of lectures of six months each, no two of said courses to be held within one year, and having a full faculty of professors in anatomy, physiology, chemistry, toxicology, pathology, hygiene, materia medica, therapeutics, obstetrics, gynæcology, _principle_ (_sic_) and practice of medicine and surgery, and clinical instruction in the last two named. But the three-year clause does not apply to degrees granted prior to July, 1891 (_ib._, s. 8). A person intending to practise medicine, surgery, or obstetrics must present his diploma to the said board, with his affidavit that he is the lawful possessor of the same and has attended the full course of study required for the degree of “M.D.,” and that he is the person therein named. Such affidavit may be taken before any person authorized to administer oaths, and it shall be attested under the hand and official seal of the official, if he have a seal. False swearing is perjury (_ib._, s. 9). If investigation of the diploma and affidavit proves the applicant entitled to practise, the board issues its certificate, which must be filed in the office of the county clerk of the county where he resides, or intends to practise (_ib._, s. 10). The act gave physicians entitled to practise at the time of its enactment six months in which to comply with its provisions with reference to them (_ib._, s. 11). The secretaries of the board may issue certificates, without a vote of the board, when the proof upon which certificates are granted may have been on file in its office for ten days without a vote of the board, when no protest has been filed, and if, in their opinion, the proof complies with the act (_ib._, s. 12). When the holder of a certificate removes to another county, he must file and record it in the office of the county clerk in the county to which he removes (_ib._, s. 13). The board may refuse certificates to persons guilty of unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, and may revoke for like causes provided they give the person an opportunity to be heard (_ib._, s. 14). PENALTY.—No person is entitled to receive any sum of money for medical, surgical, or obstetrical service unless he shall have complied with the act (_ib._, s. 15). Violation of the act is a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine of from $50 to $300 and costs of prosecution, and a person convicted shall stand committed till the fine and costs are paid (_ib._, s. 16).
