The State Board of Funeral Directors was established by the Gen-
eral Assembly in 1902. The Governor, with the consent of the Senate,
appoints the seven members of the Board for a term of two years.
It is the duty of any person carrying on the business of funeral direct-
ing and embalming in the State, to have his name registered with, and
to procure a license from the Board. Licenses are renewed annually,
and the Board has the power to suspend or revoke any license. It is
the duty of the Board to make rules and regulations for the enforce-
ment of provisions in the laws regarding funeral directing and
embalming. In general, the laws deal with qualifications and exam-
inations of all applicants for license and registration. Examinations
are held annually in Baltimore City (Code 1951, Art. 43, sees. 317-
344).

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
two, residents of the counties of the State and one resident anywhere
within the State. This Board licenses pharmacists, by examination and
reciprocity, 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.
The members of the Board of Pharmacy and duly authorized agents
of the Department of Health have the power to inspect any pharmacy
or other place where prescriptions, medicines, drugs, drug products or
domestic remedies are compounded or sold, and to inspect every pre-
scription, medicine, drug, drug product or domestic remedy exposed
for sale. Druggists and pharmacists are required to keep in their
places of business a suitable book or file in which to preserve for a
period of not less than five years every prescription compounded or
dispensed (Code 1951, Art. 43, sees. 242, 244-250, 263, 255, 266).
