Finally, the candidate must give proof of practical infor- 
mation, by executing, under the eye of the examiner, four 
preparations assigned to him. 
Title 2. The assistant pharmacien who wishes to obtain the 
grade of provisor, if he be of the first order, must remain two 
years longer, and three years if he be of the second order, in 
a shop of the crown, or a free shop. He must moreover, 
prove by certificate that he has followed in an Academy or 
University, a complete course of each of the sciences upon 
which the examinations are made. 
The examinations refer to the same sciences as the preced- 
ing, but are pushed still further, 
The candidate for the degree of provisor, must in addition 
have applied the principal remedies in cases which required 
immediate interference, and which are designated in an espe- 
cial rule. 
The theoretic examination being terminated, the candidate 
makes two pharmaceutical preparations and executes two che- 
mical operations, under the inspection of the examiner. 
Title 3. To be admitted to the grade of pharmacien, it is 
necessary, 1. To possess the grade of provisor; 2. To have 
practised in this capacity for two or three years, according to 
order, or to have kept a shop for the same space of time. 
The examinations are upon the same subjects as the pre- 
ceding; but a more extensive knowledge is required of the 
candidate, both in theory and practice. There must be evinced 
the capacity of executing different researches, or chemical 
analysis, and it must be proved that there is possessed the 
knowledge of book keeping and the commercial information 
requisite to keep an establishment. Finally, as a last test, 
three of the most important pharmaceutical preparations must 
be made, always under the inspection of one of the examiners. 
Provisors of the first order, distinguished by the good admi- 
nistration of a shop, or who have published works on pharmacy, 
chemistry, or natural sciences, honorably received by the 
scientific world, may obtain the degree of pharmacien with- 
out being subjected to examination.
