1592 ARTICLE 43.

of medicine, in good standing, actually engaged in the practice of such
profession in said State, on or before said first day of June, 1892. And
upon receiving said application, and being satisfied of the truth of said
statement therein contained, said president of such board shall issue or
endorse his permit for such applicant to be registered upon a copy of such
application, which permit shall also be countersigned by the secretary of
said board; and any president of such board to whom such application is
addressed may, in his discretion, make inquiry, and examine witnesses
under oath, or receive other evidence as to the truth of the statements
contained in such application for a permit to be registered; and if the
president of either of such boards of medical examiners shall act upon such
application, and shall refuse the same, then no president of the other of
said boards shall entertain or act upon any application of such applicant
for such permit. And upon the presentation of a permit to be registered,
signed by the president, and countersigned by the secretary of either of
said boards of medical examiners, to the clerk of the county where such
applicant may reside, or to the clerk of the circuit court of Baltimore city,
if said applicant shall reside in Baltimore city, it shall be the duty of the
said clerk to register such application and permit, and the name of such
applicant as physician or surgeon, or both, in a book to be kept for such
purpose, and a certified copy of such entry of registration under the seal
of the court, shall be legal evidence of such registration in all the courts of
the State -; provided, however, that the provisions of this sub-title shall not
apply to those practising medicine in the State of Maryland prior to June,
1892, and who registered as practitioners of medicine prior to July, 1894.

A physician held to have been in active practice so a to entitle him to a permit
for registration under this section, provided the president of board to whom appli-
cation is made is satisfied as prescribed in this section. That the applicant had
no diploma is not a good ground for refusal of permit. Failure to register under
act of 1894, ch. 217. Mandamus granted. Manger v. Board of Examiners, 90 Md.

gery in the State of Maryland since the first day of June, 1892, or who

geons, as required by law, except upon filing with the clerk of the circuit
court of the county or city in which he or she shall reside, a license from
one of the duly constituted boards of medical examiners of this State, in
accordance with the terms of sections 125 and 126, except that physicians

1892, or who shall hereafter come into this State to follow the practice of

cation to one of the duly constituted boards of medical examiners, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of section 133 of this sub-title.
