Qualification.—Every person practising medicine and surgery, in any of their departments, must possess the qualifications required. If a graduate of medicine, he must present his diploma to the State board of health for verification as to its genuineness. If the diploma is found to be genuine, and the person named therein to be the person claiming and presenting the same, the board must issue a certificate which is conclusive of the right to practise. If not a graduate, he must submit to such examination as the board shall require, and if the examination is satisfactory to the examiners the board must issue its certificate in accordance with the facts, and the holder shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges herein mentioned (Rev. Stats., 1889, s. 6,871).
The board must issue certificates to all who furnish satisfactory proof of having received a diploma or license from a legally chartered medical institution in good standing, of whatever school or system of medicine, and shall not make any discrimination against the holders of genuine licenses or diplomas under any school or system of medicine (ib., s. 6,872).
The verification of a diploma consists in the affidavit of the holder and applicant that he is the lawful possessor of the same, and the person therein named; the affidavit may be taken before any person authorized to administer oaths, and shall be attested under the hand and official seal of such officer, if he have a seal. Graduates may present their diplomas and affidavits by letter or proxy (ib., s. 6,873).
