Opinions BY the Attorney General.
The following correspondence was made
public yesterday:
MoNrEVmIo, Mimi, June CIV. J.
Hahn, Esq, ST. Paul. MIMI, Dear Sir:
desire % ask your opinion in regard TO
section 10, chapter y, of the laws of 1885,
Of an act 20 regulate the practice or med
icine, The particular part OF the section be-
inE IN regard TO those who claim 20 be
practicing and prescribing under the super
vision OK preceprors. How far are they al
lowed 10 90? Can they carry Oh and main
tain au Office in MonteyidiO, for instance.
while the preceptor resides in and has his
Onice in Minneapolis Can the student
prescribe on his own responsibility and
charge for consultations, independent Of
has s0-called preceptOr? 1 have a criminal
case OF this character which comes on for
trial on Friday next and this point
may be raised, and ] would like
10 be certain in regard 70 il
In advance. My idea from the reading Of
the section is, that the student, iD order 10
avail himself OF the provisions of the sec
ton should be under the immediate super
ON his own responsibility, making charges
therefor independent Of his preceptOr 1t
seems 60 me that the law was enacted f0T
the purpose Of protecting persons IN need
Of medical al, as much. IL not more. than
20 protect those who obtain licenses and re-
49, q diplomas. i ours truly,
U. j. WOOD, County Attorney
REPLY
Attorney General Hahn replies that he
does mot think a 3 udent car practice and
prescribe under the circumstances stated.
Students are authorized 20 prescribe under
the supervision OF pTeceptOr. TIE word
supervision is from the word supervise.
which means 10 oversee for directions, TO
superiutend, % inspect. A precept0r az
Minneapolis could not very well oversee
fOI direction. or superintend, or inspect
the prescriptions Of a student VINO was To-
Gated and pTacticed az AIOnteyideO. The
evident purpose and object OF the law was
20 require. in cases where students pre-
scribed. the approval Oh some one supposed
10 De more 1eained in the profession than
the student To hold that nothing
more was necessary than that ne
have preceptOT located somewhere
would be equivalent 20 saying that the
whole law5shouid be imperative. for in such
case anyone might enroll himself Is a
student I'm the Office of some physician and
then proceed % practice in defiance OF the
law and no examination or certificate
would be necessary"
CONSENT IS NECESSARY.
J. c. Norby, clerk Of the district court
Of Norman county, asks the following ques-
ton Of the attorney general: SIS the con
sent OF the parent or guardian necessary
10 obtain q license % marry. for female OF
Z ) years of age, but under 1Slyears of age2H
The attorney general answers that such
consent either personally given or in writ
ing atlested by two Witnesses, is necessary
before the clerk OF court can legally issue a
license for the marriage Of any female I'M
der IS years of age OF male under 2l years.
