PENALTY.—No person except those named in art. 3,637 can lawfully
practise medicine in any of its branches or departments without having
first obtained and recorded a certificate of qualification as above
provided. A person so offending shall be punished as provided in the
Penal Code (_ib._, art. 3,638).
If any person shall practise for pay or as a regular practitioner
medicine in any of its branches or departments, or offer or attempt
to practise medicine without first having obtained a certificate of
professional qualification from some authorized board of medical
examiners, or without having a diploma from some actual medical college
chartered by the legislature of the State, or its authority, in which
the same is situated, he shall be punished by a fine of not less than
$50, nor more than $500 (Penal Code, art. 396).
Each patient visited or prescribed for, or each day’s offer to practise
constitutes a separate offence (_ib._, art. 397).
If any person shall engage in the practice of medicine in any of its
branches or departments for pay or as a registered practitioner,
without having first filed for record, with the clerk of the district
court of the county in which he resides or sojourns, a certificate
from some authorized board of medical examiners or a diploma from some
actual medical college, he shall be punished as prescribed in art. 396
(_ib._, art. 398).
FEES.—To the clerk of the district court, for recording certificate,
$1 (R. S., art. 3,635).
To the board of examiners, for examination, $15, whether certificate is
granted or not (R. S., art. 3,636).

BOARD OF EXAMINERS.—The governor appoints by and with the advice and
consent of the council a board of seven medical examiners from the
various recognized schools of medicine; appointees are required to be
graduates of a legally chartered medical college in good standing (Act
1892, c. 72, s. 1).
QUALIFICATION.—The board has power to issue certificates to all who
furnish satisfactory proof of having received degrees or licenses
from a chartered medical college in good and legal standing, and pass
examinations before said board (_ib._, s. 2).
Graduates of respectable medical colleges at the time of the passage of
the act engaged in actual practice in the Territory shall be licensed
on presenting their degree to the board, and producing satisfactory
evidence of identity (_ib._, s. 4).
Every person holding a certificate from said board must have it
recorded in the office of the recorder of the county in which he
resides within three months from its date, and the date of record must
be indorsed thereon. Until the certificate is recorded, the holder
shall not exercise any of the privileges conferred. A person removing
to another county to practise must record his certificate in like
manner in the county to which he removes (_ib._, s. 5).
Examinations shall be wholly or partly in writing (_ib._, s. 7).
