of five members, revoke any license which it has issued, and may cause the
name of any physician licensed by said board to be removed from the reg-

of which said court shall fully hear and determine all matters connected
with the action of said board from which appeal is taken, and the de-
cision of said court shall be final; should no such appeal be taken within
sixty days, or should said appeal result in the affirmation of the action of
said board, the clerk of the circuit court or courts where said license so
revoked shall have been recorded shall, upon due notice from the secretary-
treasurer of said board, strike off the name of said party from the list of
licensed practitioners recorded upon said register. At any time within
two years from the revocation of any license, the board revoking the same

same requirements which are imposed on other applicants for licenses
