The board may refuse to issue certificates to individuals guilty of unprofessional or dishonorable conduct, the nature of which shall be stated in writing, and it may revoke certificates for like causes to be stated in writing (_ib._, s. 8). DEFINITION.—Any person is regarded as practising medicine who treats, operates upon, or prescribes for any physical ailment of another for a fee, or who holds himself out by means of signs, cards, advertisements, or otherwise as a physician or surgeon. EXCEPTIONS.—The act does not prohibit service in case of emergency or the administration of family remedies, and does not apply to commissioned surgeons of the United States army in discharge of their official duties, or to visiting physicians in actual consultation (_ib._, s. 9). OFFENCE.—Practising medicine or surgery without a certificate or contrary to this act is a misdemeanor (_ib._, s. 10). Persons not graduates who had practised continuously for ten years in the Territory prior to the taking effect of the act were allowed six months in which to comply with its provisions concerning them. Practising without complying with these provisions, and practising after rejection of an application or the revocation of certificate, is a violation of the law (_ib._, s. 11). OBSTETRICIANS.—Persons practising obstetrics were required within three months after the passage of the act to apply to the board for a certificate, and after passing a proper examination were entitled to one. Practising obstetrics without first obtaining a license or contrary to this act is a misdemeanor; provided all persons who furnish to said board satisfactory evidence by affidavit or otherwise of having practised obstetrics previous to the passage of the act, shall receive a license without an examination. This section does not apply to physicians holding certificates nor prohibit services in cases of emergency, nor apply to persons practising obstetrics in communities where there are no licensed practitioners (_ib._, s. 12). BOARD MEETINGS.—The board is required to meet at the territorial capital on the first Monday of January, March, June, and September of each year at 10 A.M., and such other times as the president of the board shall deem necessary (_ib._, s. 13). COLLEGES.—“Respectable medical colleges” include colleges in legal standing of any recognized school of medicine (_ib._, s. 15). FEES.—To the treasurer of the board of examiners, for examination and certificate, $25 (_ib._, s. 3). To the treasurer of the board of examiners, for license to a graduate, $5 (_ib._, s. 4). The secretary of the board is required to enter without fee, on the register to be kept by him, the names of all persons to whom licenses are issued as physicians and surgeons (_ib._, s. 4). To the county recorder, for recording, his usual fees (_ib._, s. 5). To the treasurer of the board of examiners, upon examination for license to practise obstetrics, $10.
