Medical Men Interested.
Representative Lanstrum, who is
himself a physician, has a bill chang
ing the requirements for admission
to practice of medical men. In view
of the many conflicts owe ethical
questions between physicians and the
state medical board, this is an i'm
portant and will probably
result in a fight against it's passage
by one faction of the medical men of
the state. The bill provides that:
every person hereafter wishing to
practice medicine Or surgery in this
state shall apply to- the board for a
certificate. Every person applying
shall present his Or her diploma to
the board for verification al to its
genuineness. If the diploma is found
genuine, and is issued by a medical
school legally organized and in good
standing whose teachers are grad
yates of a legally organized school,
which facts the board of examiners
shall determine, and if the person
presenting and claiming said diploma
be the person to whom the same was
originally granted, at a time and place
designated by said board or at a reg
ular meeting of said board, said appli-
cant shall submit to an examination
in the following branches, to-wit:
Anatomy, physiology, materia medica.
therapeutics, practice of medicine,
surgery, obstetrics, diseases of women
and children, diseases of the nervous
system, diseases of the eye and ear,
and present evidence of having at
tended four courses of lectures Of at
least six months each, but such evil
dence of having attended four courses
of lectures shall not be required of
applicants graduating prior to July 1,
1898; said board shall cause such
| examination to be both scientific and
practical, and of sufficient thorough
ness and severity to test the candi'
dates fitness to practice medicine and
surgery; when desired such examina'
ton may be conducted in the presence
| of the dean of any medical school
or the president of any medical so
siety in this state.
after examination, the board, il
the candidate has been found quail
fled, shall grant a certificate to such
candidate to practice medicine and
surgery in the state of Montana;
which said certificate can be granted
only by the consent of not less thar
four members of said board, anG
which said certificate shall be signed
