CANCELLATION OF LICENSE.—The State board of health, upon complaint
made to it on oath by one responsible person, has power to cancel any
license that may have been fraudulently obtained or when the person to
whom such license was issued is an habitual drunkard, or is guilty of
immoral practices or gross unprofessional conduct. Such license shall
not be cancelled except after a hearing before such board of health,
at which a majority of such board shall be present, and of which the
person holding the license to be cancelled shall have had at least
ten days’ notice, and only upon due proof of the facts stated in the
complaint. An appeal may be taken to the circuit court of the county
in which the person whose license is cancelled lives by any person
aggrieved, in the same manner as now provided by law in case of appeal
from the decisions of the county commissioners (_ib._, s. 6).
FEE.—To the superintendent of the State board of health, for a
license, $5 (_ib._, s. 5).
TENNESSEE.
QUALIFICATION.—No person can lawfully practise medicine in any of its
departments, except dentistry, unless he possesses the qualifications
required by the act. If a graduate in medicine, he must present his
diploma to the State board of medical examiners for verification as
to its genuineness. If found genuine and from a legally chartered
allopathic, homœopathic, or eclectic medical college in good standing
with the school of medicine in which said college is classed, of which
the State board of medical examiners shall be the judge, and the person
named therein be the person claiming and presenting it, the board must
issue a certificate to that effect, conclusive as to the rights of the
lawful holder to practise medicine (Act of 1889, c. 178, s. 1).
Persons in actual practice at the time of the passage of the act were
allowed till July 1st, 1891, to comply with the provisions of the act
respecting them (_ib._, s. 2, as amended Act 1891, c. 109, s. 1).
A person wishing to enter upon the practice of medicine must present
to the board of medical examiners a diploma from some medical college
in good standing as provided by sec. 1, or shall present himself to
the said board for examination upon anatomy, physiology, chemistry,
pathology, surgery, obstetrics, and therapeutics. If the diploma be
found genuine, or if the applicant for examination be found worthy and
competent, the board shall issue a certificate which shall entitle
the lawful holder to all the privileges of this act (_ib._, s. 3, as
amended Act 1891, c. 109, s. 2).
