POWERS OF BOARD.—The said board among other powers has the power to examine all degrees, diplomas, licenses, and other credentials presented or given in evidence for the purpose of entitling the owner to practise in Nova Scotia; and to oblige the owner to attest on oath, or by affidavit, that he is the person whose name is mentioned therein, and that he became possessed thereof honestly; to cause every member of the profession practising in Nova Scotia to enregister his name, age, place of residence, place of nativity, date of license or diploma, and the place where he obtained it, in the register of the board; to appoint medical examiners to hold final examinations, such examiners to be regular qualified practitioners of not less than five years’ professional standing, and three years’ residence in the province (_ib._, s. 12). REGISTER.—The registrar is required to keep his register correct, and to erase the names of all registered persons who shall have died, left the province without any intention of returning, or ceased to practise for five years, and to make from time to time the necessary alterations in the addresses or qualifications of persons registered. A name erased is required to be restored by the order of the board upon sufficient cause duly shown (_ib._, s. 15). NEGLECT TO REGISTER.—Persons entitled to register and neglecting or omitting to register are not entitled to any of the rights or privileges conferred so long as the neglect or omission shall continue (_ib._, s. 16). THEORIES OF MEDICINE OR SURGERY.—No person shall be refused registration or a license on account of the adoption or the refusal to adopt the practice of any particular theory of medicine or surgery. In case of such refusal the party aggrieved has the right to appeal to the governor in council, who, on due cause shown, is required to issue an order to the board to register the name of such person and to grant him a license (_ib._, s. 17). POWERS OF REGISTRAR.—No qualification is entered unless the registrar is satisfied by proper evidence that the person claiming is entitled to it, and any appeal from the decision of the registrar may be decided by the board, and any entry proving to the satisfaction of the board to have been fraudulently or incorrectly made may be erased from the register by order in writing of the board (_ib._, s. 18). FORFEITURE OF RIGHTS.—A medical practitioner convicted of felony or, after due inquiry, judged by the board to have been guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect, thereby forfeits his right to registration, and if registered his name shall, by the direction of the board, be erased from the register (_ib._, s. 19). ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS.—A registered person may have a higher degree or an additional qualification obtained by him, inserted in the register in substitution for or in addition to a qualification previously registered, on the payment of such fee as the board may appoint (_ib._, s. 20).
