THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



at least four years' experience in stores 

 where medical prescription have been 

 compounded, and have obtained a diplo- 

 ma from any college of pharmacy in the 

 country, or from some authorized foreign 

 institution or examining board. 



Licentiates are those who have had a 

 like experience and passed an examina- 

 tion either before the board established 

 on March 28, 1871, or before that created 

 by ch. 817, ot the laws of 1872. Foreign 

 pharmacists who present satisfactory cre- 

 dentials or certificates of their competency 

 and qualifications to said board, may also 

 be allowed to practice as such. 



Junior assistants or apprentices are not 

 permitted to prepare physicians' prescrip- 

 tions. 



In §2018 the College of Pharmacy is 

 called upon to elect on the first Monday 

 in April of every third year at a special 

 meeting, five competent pharmacists, of 

 whom three shall be graduates of a medi- 

 cal college, and two of a college of phar- 

 macy in this city, to constitute the Board 

 of Pharmacy. Within thirty days after 

 their election, they take the oath and 

 then hold office for three years, and until 

 their successors are duly elected and have 

 qualified. If there be a vacancy, the 

 trustees of the college fill it from two or 

 more nominees elected at a special meet- 

 ing of the college. The board elects a 

 president and secretary, and must meet 

 at least once every three months and three 

 members constitute a quorum. The board 

 must transact all business pertaining to 

 the legal regulation of the practice of 

 pharmacy in this city, examine and regis- 

 ter pharmacists, and after satisfactory 

 examination furnish certificates of com- 

 petency upon payment of a fee of five 

 dollars. 



In §2019 it is made the duty of the 

 secretary to keep a book of registration 

 of the names and places of business of 

 persons affected by the law. All must 



register and pay a fee not to exceed two 

 dollars for pharmacists, and one dollar 

 for assistants. The moneys received de- 

 fray the expenses of the board, and any 

 surplus is for the benefit of the college. 

 The salary of the secretary is fixed by 

 the board and paid out of the registration 

 fees. Every registered pharmacist is to 

 be held responsible under §2020 for the 

 quality of all drugs, chemicals and medi- 

 cines he may sell or dispense, except 

 those sold in the original packages, and 

 patent medicines, and should he know- 

 ingly, intentionally, and fraudulently 

 adulterate or cause to be adulterated such 

 drugs, chemicals or medical preparations, 

 he is guilty of a misdemeanor, and liable 

 to a penalty not exceeding $100, and in 

 addition his name is stricken from the 

 register. 



No person is allowed, according to 

 §2021 to retail any poisons enumerated 

 in the two schedules annexed to it, and 

 which are well known in drug stores. 



In § 2022 it is declared that nothing 

 contained in the foregoing sections ap- 

 plies to medical practitioners who do not 

 keep open shop for retailing medicines 

 and poisons, nor to the business of whole- 

 sale dealers. But the preceding section 

 and its penalties do apply to them. 



Under §2023 any one who attempts to 

 procure false registration for himself or 

 another is liable to a penalty not exceed- 

 ing $500. A registered pharmacist who 

 permits a person not registered to com- 

 pound and dispense prescriptions, or any 

 person not registered who keeps open 

 shop for such purpose, or fraudulently 

 represents himself to be registered, or 

 any registered pharmacist or dealer in 

 medicines who fails to comply with the 

 law in relation to poisons, is deemed 

 guilty of a misdemeanor, and liable to a 

 penalty of $50. 



Pursuant to § 2024 the penalties re-
