Several local physicians are affected
by the law passed at the last session
of the legislature requiring all Nj. Us
to have their licenses recorded at the
office of the secretary OF state. th-
der the former statute physicians were
required to have their certificates re-
corded at the county clerks omces'
and those who neglected to comply
with this formality must now TAKE
examinations before they can iuiiiii
the requirements of the new law. no
doubt this Interpretation OF the sta.
ute is sound legally yet IL hardly
seems common sense TO make doctors
who have been practising for 20 or
30 years go up against an examina-
ton prepared to test the theoretical
knowledge of recently graduated
needles Surprising the former were
not able To answer every question III
materia medica. pathology. therapeu-
tics and the like. That does not prove
that they have not remembered
enough of their college course and
gained sufficiently by practical expe-
rence to be able TO practice safely
and successfully.
However. the doctors throughout
the state ought to congratulate them
selves on the fact that some wise guy
did not get next to the possibilities
for money making which lay in some
of the provisions of the old law. Ac-
cording to them nobody had right To
practice medicine or surgery or sign
death certificates without being au-
thorized by certificate duly issued
and recorded. and the physician VINO
failed to live up TO these requirements
could be sued by anyone and mulcted
to the tune of at least $50 for the
first offense Considering the number
of physicians in the state who failed
to comply with the formality relative
to the recording of certificates IL Is
not difficult to imagine what get
rich-auick scheme lay in wait for the
magic touch of the person snarI
enough to discern 1t and nerv!
enough to push il through.
