All examinations shall be in writing; the questions and answers,
except in materia medica and therapeutics, must be such as can be
answered in common by all schools of practice, and if the applicant
intends to practise homœopathy or eclecticism, the member or members
of the said board of those schools shall examine the said applicant in
materia medica and therapeutics; if the examination is satisfactory,
the board shall issue a license entitling the applicant to practise
medicine. A license shall not be issued unless the applicant passes an
examination satisfactory to all members of the board; the examination
papers kept on file by the secretary of the board are _prima facie_
evidence of all matters therein contained; on refusal of the board to
issue a license for failure on examination, the applicant may appeal
to the governor, who may appoint a medical commission of review of
three members, one from each school of medicine, who shall examine the
examination papers of the applicant and from them determine whether a
license should be issued, and their decision shall be final; if the
said committee by unanimous vote reverse the determination of the
board, the board shall issue a license; the expenses of the appeal are
borne by the applicant (_ib._, s. 4).
The board may, by unanimous vote, refuse or revoke a license for
chronic and permanent inebriety, the practice of criminal abortion,
conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, or for publicly
advertising special ability to treat or cure disease which, in the
opinion of the said board, it is impossible to cure.
In complaints for violating this section, the accused shall be
furnished with a copy of the complaint and given a hearing before the
said board in person or by attorney (_ib._, s. 5).
A person receiving a license must file it, or a certified copy thereof,
with the clerk of the county in which he resides; and in case of
removal into another county he must procure from the said clerk a
certified copy of the said license, and file it with the clerk in the
county to which he shall remove (_ib._, s. 6).
EXCEPTIONS.—The act does not apply to commissioned surgeons of the
United States army, navy, or marine hospital service, or to regularly
licensed physicians or surgeons in actual consultation from other
States or Territories, or to regularly licensed physicians or surgeons
actually called from other States or Territories to attend cases in
this State, or to any one while actually serving as a member of the
resident medical staff of any legally incorporated hospital or asylum
in this State, or to any person claiming the right to practise in this
State who has been practising therein since before July 4th, 1890,
provided the said right or title was obtained upon a diploma of which
the holder and applicant was lawfully possessed and it was issued by a
legally chartered medical institution in good standing (_ib._, s. 7, as
amended Act 1892, c. 212).
