 affidavit as provided for in this act, a license certificate shall 

 be issued to the owner; provided, however, that no license

 and provided, further, that when any stallion or jack is found 

 affected with any of the diseases or unsoundnesses as men-

 issued to the owner of said animal shall specify the disease or 

 unsoundness with which said animal is affected. (As amended,
