aspires to the rank of Doctor in Pharmacy. The majority 
of students are however satisfied with the degree of Licen- 
tiate of Pharmacy, to obtain which, only seven years study 
are necessary. This degree ranks with that of Licentiate in 
Medicine, and entitles the possessor to practice Pharmacy 
throughout the whole kingdom; while the doctors of Phar- 
macy are, in addition to this, qualified for the public offices 
of instruction, such as Jlgregts and Professors in Pharmacy.
