   Sec. 4. Injunctions. The attorney general, prosecuting attorney, the board or any citizen of any county where any person engages in the practice of medicine or osteopathic medicine without a license or a permit to do so, may, according to the laws of Indiana governing injunctions, maintain an action in the name of the state of Indiana to enjoin the person from engaging in the practice of medicine or osteopathic medicine. In charging any person in an affidavit, information or indictment, with a violation of this law by practicing medicine or osteopathic medicine without a license or permit, it is sufficient to charge that he did, upon a certain day and in a certain county, engage in the unlawful practice of medicine or osteopathic medicine and that he did not have any license or permit to do so. No further or more particular fact need be averred concerning the matter.
