F. habitual drunkenness, or habitual addiction to the use of morphine, cocaine or other habit-forming drugs; or

The board may neither refuse to issue nor to renew nor suspend nor revoke any license, however, for any of these causes, unless the person accused has been given at least twenty days' notice in writing of the charge against him and a public hearing by the board of osteopathic medical examiners, with right of review of the board's decision by the district court of the first judicial district by certiorari, on petition of the party against whom the board's decision is rendered.
The board of osteopathic medical examiners shall have the power to compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers for the investigation of matters that may come before them and the presiding officer of said board may administer the requisite oaths and said board shall have the same authority to compel the giving of testimony as is conferred on courts of justice.
