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

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, secs. 242, 244-250, 263, 255, 256).
