All persons licensed in this state, to deposit a copy of their license in the county clerk’s office, and until they do so, are subject to the same penalties as if they had neglected to obtain a diploma. No person, other than the members of the said Medical So- ciety, shall, after the 1st of July 1824, be permitted to practice physic and surgery in this state, and if he does, he shall not be entitled to the aid of the law in the collection of his debts, and moreover, shall forfeit and pay ten dollars for every violation of this act of which he may be convicted.
