The Board of Pharmacy was created by an Act of the General
Assembly in 1902. The Governor appoints five members, one annually,
from a list of pharmacists submitted by the Maryland Pharmaceutical
Association. Two members must be residents of Baltimore City, and
three, residents of the counties of the State (Code 1939, Art. 43, sec.
247). This Board licenses pharmacists, by examination and reci-
procity, issues permits for the operation of retail pharmacies, and for
the manufacture of drugs, medicines, toilet articles, dentifrices and
cosmetics. In cooperation with the State Department of Health, the
Board enforces the pharmacy and drug laws of the State..
