Any and all sums so paid by such county, city and county, city or town, shall be a lien on the property on which said nuisance shall have been abated, and may be recovered in an action against such property, which action to foreclose such lien shall be brought, within ninety days after such payment, and be prosecuted by the district, city or town attorney, in the name of such county, city and county, city or town, and for its benefit. When the property is sold, enough of the proceeds shall be paid into the treasury of such county, city and county, city or town, to satisfy such lien and the costs, and the overplus, if any there be, shall be paid to the owner of the property, if known, and if not known shall be paid into court for the use of such owner when ascertained.

N." or any other words, letters or figures to indicate that the person using the same is a registered nurse, unless such person shall be lawfully entitled so to do, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than five days nor more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment; provided, however, that nothing in this act contained shall be construed to prohibit or affect that gratuitous nursing of the sick, nor to nursing the sick for hire by a person who does not in any way assume to be a registered nurse.
