The Board of Pharmacy created by Chap-
ter 179, Acts of 1902 consists of seven
members, six of whom shall be skilled phar-
macists and one a consumer. All members
are appointed by the Governor upon the

filled from the Maryland Pharmaceutical
Association. Each consumer is recommended
by the Secretary of Health and Mental
Hygiene. Two members must be residents
of Baltimore City; two, residents of the
counties of the State; and three resident any-
where within the State. The Board licenses
pharmacists by examination and reciprocity
and there is also a biennial re-registration
program for pharmacists. The Board issues
permits for the operation of retail pharma-
cies and for the manufacture of drugs,
medicines, toilet articles, dentifrices, and
cosmetics. The Board also licenses jobbers,
distributors, and wholesalers or manufac-
turers of dangerous (prescription) drugs. In
cooperation with the State Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene, the Board en-
forces the pharmacy and drug laws of the
State. |
The members of the Board and duly au-
thorized agents of the Department of Health
and Mental Hygiene inspect all pharmacies
or other places where prescriptions, medi-
cines, drugs, drug products, or domestic
remedies are compounded or sold, and in-
spects prescriptions, medicines, drugs, drug
products, or domestic products exposed for

to keep in their places of business a suitable
book or file in which to preserve for a
