PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 1389
any other person, in the capacity of a practitioner of osteopathy,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and upon conviction by any
Court having criminal jurisdiction shall be punished by im-
prisonment in the City or County jail for not less than thirty
days nor more than one year, or by a fine of not less than
twenty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or both, in
the discretion of the Court, for each offense.
The Board of Osteopathic Examiners of this State, may by a
vote of three 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 register of licentiates of the City or
County where it may be recorded for any of the following causes;
to wit: The use of fraud or deception in passing the examina-
tion provided in this sub-title, habitual drunkenness, criminal
abortion, conviction of crime involving moral turpitude or un-
professional or dishonorable conduct. Before proceeding to re-
voke any such license, the person against whom complaint is
made shall be furnished with a copy of the complaint and charges
made against him, and shall be given an opportunity for a hear-
ing before the board, in person or by attorney, and at such
hearing testimony may be offered for and against the accused.
The action of the board shall be reduced to writing, stating also
the reasons for said action, and a copy thereof shall be deliv-
ered or mailed to the person against whom complaint is made;
within sixty days after said notice of revocation of license shall
have been delivered or mailed to any person said party shall
have the right of appeal to the Circuit Court of the City or
County wherein he may reside, the judge or judges 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 decision 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 may, by a vote of three members, issue
without examination a new license to the person whose license
was so revoked; but after the expiratibn of two years such per-
son can obtain a new license only by compliance with the same
requirements which are imposed on other applicants for license
under this sub-title.
