The provisions of this section shall not apply to the dispensing of drugs in not 

 unusual quantities on the prescriptions of physicians.

 registered pharmacist from any penalty or forfeiture prescribed in any other law 

 regulating the sale of alcoholic or other intoxicating liquors; and the name of any 

 registered pharmacist who shall be convicted twice of the violation of such law 

 shall be stricken from the register and he shall no longer be a registerd pharmacist. 

 Nor shall this act be construed to authorize any person to carry on the husiness of 

 a druggist without having first obtained a license therefor, if such license be 

 required by any other law, or to sell, offer, or expose for sale any of the liquors, 

 drinks, mixtures, or preparations mentioned in section 1 of chapter 32 of the Code 

 of West Virginia, as amended and reenacted by chapter 107 of the Acts of 1877, 

 except for medicinal, mechanical, or scientific purposes. And if any person carry- 

 ing on or interested in the business of a druggist shall, in violation of this section, 

 sell any such liquors, drinks, mixtures, or preparations he shall be guilty of a 

 misdemeanor, and for each offense be fined not less than twenty-five nor more 

 than one hundred dollars; and it shall be the special duty of the judge of every 

 circuit court to give this provision in charge to the grand juries of their respective 

 courts. In any prosecution against a person carrying on or interested in the busi- 

 ness of a druggist for selling any such liquors, drinks, mixtures, or preparations, 

 contrary to law, if the sale be proved, it shall be presumed that such sale was 

 unlawful unless the contrary be shown. 



SEC. 10. No person shall procure, or attempt to procure, registration for himself, 

 or for another, under this act, by making, or causing to be made, any false represen- 

 tations, nor shall any person not a registered pharmacist, as provided in this act, 

 conduct a store, pharmacy, or place for retailing, compounding, or dispensing drugs, 

 medicines, or chemicals for medicinal use, or for compounding or dispensing physi- 

 cians' prescriptions, or take, use, or exhibit the title of a registered pharmacist. 



SEC. 11. This act shall not apply to physicians putting up their own prescriptions, 

 nor to anyone not doing business in an incorporated city or town who sells such ordi- 

 nary drugs as are usually kept in country stores, nor to such person in any such city 

 or town in which there is no registered pharmacist engaged in the business of selling 

 drugs; but the term ordinary drugs shall not be held to include any of the poisons 

 named in schedules A and B, nor any intoxicating liquor. 



SEC. 12. It shall be the duty of the board to investigate all complaints and charges 

 of noncompliance or violation of the provisions of this act, and to bring the same 

 to the notice of the proper prosecuting officer, as provided for in section seven of this 

 act, whenever there appears to the board reasonable grounds for such action. 



SEC. 13. Every registered pharmacist shall keep his certificate of registration 

 posted in a conspicuous place at his place of business, and any failure so to do shall 

 be deemed and held to be prima facie evidence that such person is not a registered 

 pharmacist.

 misdemeanor, and for every such offense shall be fined not less than twenty-five nor 

 more than one hundred dollars, and (except as provided in section seven of this act)

 ister and he shall no longer be a registered pharmacist in this State.

 upon strike the name of the person so convicted from the register.
