This Board is for the purpose of examining all candidates that
might present themselves for an examination as Pharmacists.

The Board keeps a record of all registered Pharmacists and reg-
istered Assistant Pharmacists of Maryland.

The members of the State Board of Pharmacy and the duly author-
ized agents and employees of the State Department of Health, have
the power to inspect in a lawful manner every prescription compounded
or dispensed at any pharmacy or drug store and/or medicines, drugs,
drug products or domestic remedies and to fully inspect any pharmacy
or other place where medicines or drugs, drug produets or domestic
remedies are compounded or exposed for sale. Druggists and pharm-
acists are required to keep in their places of business a suitable book
or file in which shall be preserved for a period of not less than five
years every prescription compounded or dispensed at said drug store
or pharmacy.

The Poisons Law confers many powers and duties upon the Board.
Under the Pharmacy Act, the Board is authorized to issue permits
to pharmacies and to manufacturers of drugs, medicines, toilet arti-
cles, dentifrices, and cosmetics. The Board is required to prescribe
the technical and scientific apparatus and equipment which a drug
store must possess. Wide powers of inspection and regulation are
vested in the Board.

Any information pertaining to pharmacy in Maryland should be
addressed to the Secretary of the Board, who can supply a copy of
any pharmacy law of Maryland.
