SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the people of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly, That every person practicing medicine, in any of its departments, shall possess the qualifications required by this act. If a graduate in medicine, he shall present his diploma to the State Board of Health, if such Board of Health shall be established by law, or Board of Examiners herein named, for verification as to its genuineness. If the diploma is found genuine, and if the person named therein be the person claiming and presenting the same, the State Board of Health, if such Board of Health shall be established by law, or the Board of Examiners, shall issue its certificate to that effect, signed by all of the members thereof, and such diploma and certificate shall be conclusive as to the right of the lawful holder of the same to practice medicine in this State. If not a graduate, the person practicing medicine in this State shall present himself before said Board, and submit himself to such examinations as the said Board shall require; and, if the examination be satisfactory to the examiners, the said Board shall issue its certificate in accordance with the facts, and the lawful holder of such certificate shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges herein mentioned.

SEC. 2. In case a State Board of Health shall not be established by law, then each State Medical Society incorporated and in active existence on the first day of July, eighteen hundred and seventy-seven, whose members are required to possess diplomas or license from some legally chartered medical institution in good standing, shall appoint, annually, a Board of Examiners consisting of seven members, who shall hold their office for one year, and until their successors shall be chosen. The examiners so appointed shall go before a county judge and make oath that they are regular graduates, or licentiates, and that they will faithfully perform the duties of their office, Vacancies occurring in a Board of examiners shall be filled by the society appointing it by the selection of alternates, or otherwise.

In selecting places to hold their meetings they shall, as far as is reasonable, accommodate applicants residing in different sections of the state, and due notice shall be published of all their meetings. Certificates shall be signed by all the members of the Board granting them, and shall indicate the medical society to which the Examining Board is attached.

SEC. 4. Said State Board of Health, if such Board of Health shall be established by law, or Board of Examiners, shall examine diplomas as to their genuineness, and if the diploma shall be found genuine as represented, the Secretary of the State Board of Health, if such Board of Health shall be established by law, or Board of Examiners, shall receive a fee of one dollar from each graduate or licentiate, and no further charge shall be made to the applicants; but if it be found to be fraudulent, or not lawfully owned by the possessor, the board shall be entitled to charge and collect twenty dollars of the applicant 'presenting such diploma. The verification of the diploma shall consist in the affidavit of the holder and applicant that he is the lawful possessor of the same, and that he is the person therein named.
