the day the amendment goes into opera
ton.

medicine in this state as an occupation
prior to February %, 1894, and that
they are persons of good moral and pro-
fessional character, will be eligible for
examination.
The moral and professional character
of the applicant and the credibility OF
the witnesses as to the length of time he
has been engaged in the practice in this
state, must be certified to by the medical

sons reside, or must be submitted to this
board ten days prior to the date of the

successful, each applicant to practice
medicine must make grade of not less
than seventy in each branch.
As this provision was made by the
general assembly for the especial benefit
