Dear  Sir:  It  might  be  of  interest  to  many  of  your  readers  to 
know  that  the  great  state  of  Pennsylvania  is  now  a  full  fledged 
active  member  state  of  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Phar- 
macy, with  reciprocity  for  pharmacists  of  that  state  with  39  other 
states.  In  order  to  be  eligible  for  reciprocal  registration  in  other 
states,  registration  must  have  been  on  the  basis  of  examination  be- 
fore the  Pennsylvania  Board  of  Pharmacy  with  certain  grades,  etc. 
(Registration  on  college  diploma  does  not  entitle  the  holder  to 
reciprocity.) 
Forty  states  now  hold  active  membership  in  the  National  Asso- 
ciation of  Boards  of  Pharmacy,  between  which  reciprocity  for  full 
registered  pharmacists  (licentiates)  is  in  force,  provided  that  regis- 
tration of  applicants  for  reciprocity  must  have  been  by  examination 
before  the  State  Board  of  Pharmacy  in  the  active  member  state 
from  which  they  come.  Certificates  of  registration  obtained  under 
state  laws  without  examination,  or  on  the  basis  of  college  of  phar- 
macy diploma  without  examination  before  boards  of  pharmacy,  do 
not  entitle  holders  to  reciprocity.
