This document outlines the Indian Medical Degrees Act of 1916 and an amendment made in 1940. The key points are:
1) The 1916 Act regulated the granting of medical degrees and titles implying qualifications in western medicine, and prohibited unqualified persons from using such titles.
2) It specified the authorities authorized to grant medical degrees and qualifications.
3) The 1940 amendment made to the 1916 Act in Madras expanded the scope to include titles implying qualifications in other medical systems, not just western.
4) It established penalties for falsely using medical titles or implying qualifications that were not authorized.
