No person can be appointed as a medical officer, physician, or surgeon in the public service, or in any hospital or other charitable institution not supported wholly by voluntary contribution, unless he be registered (_ib._, s. 63). No certificate required from any physician or surgeon or medical practitioner is valid unless the signer be registered (_ib._, s. 64). DEFINITION.—The expression “legally qualified medical practitioner,” or any other words importing legal recognition as a medical practitioner or member of the medical profession, in any law, is construed to mean a person registered under this act (_ib._, s. 65). IMMUNITIES.—A person registered under this act is exempt from jury and inquest duty if he desire it (_ib._, s. 66). LIMITATIONS.—No duly registered member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons is liable in an action for negligence or malpractice by reason of professional services requested or rendered, unless it be commenced within one year from the termination of such service (_ib._, s. 67). EXAMINATIONS.—The University of Manitoba is the sole examining body in medicine, and the council of the university may grant to any person a certificate under the seal of the university that the council of the university have been satisfied that the person mentioned in the certificate is, by way of medical education and otherwise, a proper person to be registered under this act; but such certificate shall not be granted until the person making such application shall have given evidence of qualification by undergoing an examination or otherwise, as the statutes of the university require, and the applicant shall in all other respects first comply with the rules and regulations of the university in that behalf (_ib._, s. 68). HOMŒOPATHISTS.—Until a homœopathic medical college for teaching purposes is established in Manitoba, in the case of candidates wishing to be registered as homœopathists, the full time of attendance upon lectures and hospitals required by the university statutes may be spent in such homœopathic medical colleges in the United States or Europe as may be recognized by the University of Manitoba (_ib._, s. 69). Every candidate who at the time of his examination signifies his wish to be registered as a homœopathic practitioner shall not be required to pass an examination in materia medica or therapeutics, or theory or practice of physic, or in surgery or midwifery, except the operative practical parts thereof, before any examiners other than those homœopathic examiners who shall be appointed by the University of Manitoba (_ib._, s. 70). UNLAWFUL PRACTICES.—To wilfully procure or attempt to procure registration by false or fraudulent representation or declaration, is punishable by a penalty not exceeding $100. To knowingly aid or assist therein, is punishable by a penalty of from $20 to $50 for each offence (_ib._, s. 73).
