A person taking or using a name, title, addition, or description implying or calculated to lead people to infer that he is recognized by law as a physician, surgeon, accoucheur, or licentiate in medicine, surgery, or midwifery is punishable by a penalty of from $25 to $100 (_ib._, s. 47). UNREGISTERED PERSONS.—No person is entitled to recover a charge for medical or surgical advice or attendance or the performance of any operation or any medicine prescribed or supplied unless he produces to the court a certificate that he is registered; but this section does not extend to the sale of drugs or medicines by a licensed chemist or druggist (_ib._, s. 48, as amended Act 1891, c. 26, s. 2). No person shall be appointed as a medical officer, physician, or surgeon in any branch of the public service, or in any hospital or other charitable institution not supported wholly by voluntary contribution, unless he be registered (_ib._, s. 49). No certificate required from any physician, surgeon, or medical practitioner is valid unless the signer be registered (_ib._, s. 50). COSTS.—The justice of the peace having jurisdiction of a prosecution may award payment of costs in addition to the penalty, and in default of payment may commit to the common jail for a period not exceeding one month unless the penalty and costs are sooner paid (_ib._, s. 51). APPEAL.—Any person convicted who gives notice of appeal must give satisfactory security for the amount of the penalty and the costs of conviction and appeal (_ib._, s. 52). PROOF.—In any trial under the act, the burden of proof as to registration is on the person charged (_ib._, s. 53). Where proof of registration is required, the production of a printed or other copy of the register certified under the hand of the registrar for the time being is sufficient evidence of all persons who are registered practitioners, and any certificate upon such copy purporting to be signed by any person in his capacity of registrar is _prima facie_ evidence that such person is registrar without proof of his signature or of his being registrar (_ib._, s. 54). LIMITATIONS OF PROSECUTIONS.—Prosecutions are limited to commence within one year from the date of the offence (_ib._, s. 55) STAY.—The council may, by order signed by its president having the seal of the college appended, stay proceedings in any prosecution when deemed expedient (_ib._, s. 56). PROSECUTOR.—Any person may be prosecutor or complainant (_ib._, s. 57 [2]). QUALIFICATION.—Schedule B referred to in the act is as follows: 1. A license to practise physic, surgery, and midwifery, or either, within Upper Canada under the acts of Upper Canada, 59 G., III., c. 13, and 8 G., IV., c. 3, respectively. 2. A license or diploma granted under 2 Vict., c. 38, or under the Consolidated Statutes for Upper Canada, c. 40, or any act amending the same.
