procedure on appeal (_ib._, s. 38, 39).
POWERS OF COUNCIL.—The council may make by-laws for carrying out the

medical or surgical aid or attendance to any one in urgent need of
it provided it be not for hire or gain, nor the giving of it be made
a business or means of livelihood; nor does it prevent women from
practising midwifery, or any person from practising dentistry or
treating cases of cancer by external application, and charging for
such service and suing for and recovering reasonable charges; nor does
it prevent a druggist, apothecary, or storekeeper from suing for and
recovering the price of drugs or chemicals supplied or sold by him
(_ib._, s. 42).
The act does not prevent a person not holding a medical degree,
license, or diploma from a university or college from practising
medicine, surgery, or midwifery provided he was engaged in such
practice in the province for five years immediately before the passage
of the act, nor from recovering with costs his reasonable charges for
professional aid, advice, and visits and the cost of medicine or other
medical or surgical appliances rendered or supplied by him to his
patients (_ib._, s. 43).
APPEAL ON PROSECUTION.—Appeal from the decision on prosecution may be
taken to the supreme court (_ib._, s. 44).
