 sessions of the board, and upon satisfactory evidence of the fitness of the applicant, 

 any member of the board may, in his discretion, issue a temporary certificate, which 

 shall authorize and empower the holder to conduct a drug store or pharmacy, as set 

 forth in section 1 of this act. Such temporary certificate shall terminate and expire

 engaged in the business in any city or incorporated town in the State of Arkansas 

 at the passage of this act, either as owners, managers, or clerks of any drug store,

In case of the failure or neglect of any person to apply for registration within 

 sixty days after the organization of the board of pharmacy, and publication thereof

 largest of all the papers so published, such person shall have forfeited the privilege 

 of being registered as a registered pharmacist as set forth in this section.

 and place, in such manner as they may determine, examine every person who shall 

 desire to conduct the business described in section 1 of this act in any city or 

 incorporated town in the State of Arkansas; and if a majority of the members 

 present at the meeting of the board shall be satisfied that said person is competent 

 and fully qualified to conduct the said business of compounding and dispensing 

 drugs, medicines, or chemicals for medical use, the board shall enter the name of 

 such person as a registered pharmacist in the book provided for in section 6 of this 

 act : Provided, That all graduates in pharmacy of schools or colleges of pharmacy 

 that require three years' praclical experience before granting diplomas shall be 

 entitled to have their names registered as registered pharmacists by the board of
