of  competent  skill,  etc. 
Clauses  7,  8,  9,  10,  11,  12,  13  and  14,  refer  to  registration — 
makes  the  Registrar  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  the  Regis- 
trar under  this  Act,  defines  his  duties  under  the  Act,  orders  all 
registrars  of  deaths  in  Great  Britain  to  advise  said  Registrar 
of  the  decease  of  Pharmaceutical  Chemists  and  Chemists  and 
Druggists,  that  such  names  may  be  erased  from  the  register.

Registrar  to  publish  annually  in  January,  a  correct  register  of  all 
Pharmaceutical  Chemists  and  Chemists  and  Druggists,  each  in 
alphabetical  order.  The  14th  clause  describes  the  penalty  for 
falsifying  the  register  or  for  obtaining  registration  under  false 
evidence. 
Clause  15  protects  the  titles  of  those  practicing  pharmacy 
under  this  Act,  and  prevents  the  assumption  of  them  by  un- 
registered parties. 
Clause  16  reserves  the  present  rights  of  "  Apothecaries"  and 
Veterinary  Surgeons  to  use  and  sell  poisons,  nor  does  it  prevent 
or  interfere  with  patent  medicine  makers  and  venders,  nor  with 
wholesale  dealers  in  supplying  poisons  in  the  ordinary  course  of 
wholesale  dealing.  It  distinctly  declares  that  registration  under 
this  Act  does  not  entitle  the  registrant  to  practice  medicine  or 
surgery.
