No person shall be required to take any compulsory treatment under the provisions of this article until it shall have first been certified by two doctors licensed to practice in the State, or the county or district health officer, that the person sought to be confined for treatment actually has tuberculosis in a contagious state and that he constitutes a danger and menace to the health of others unless he be hospitalized and given treatment. One of such two doctors shall be appointed by the person suspected of being diseased and the other shall be a local doctor appointed by some member of the Tuberculosis Association or a member of the county medical society.
