From and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture, compound, sell, or dispense any drug, poison, medicine or chemical for medicinal use, or to dispense or compound any prescription of a medical practitioner, unless such person be a registered pharmacist or a registered assistant pharmacist within the meaning of this act, except as hereinafter provided. Every store, dispensary, pharmacy, laboratory or office for the sale, dispensing or compounding of drugs, medicines or chemicals for medicinal use, or for the dispensing of prescriptions of medical practitioners, shall be in charge of a registered pharmacist. A registered assistant pharmacist may be left in charge of a store, dispensary, pharmacy, laboratory or office for the sale, dispensing, or compounding of drugs, medicines or chemicals for medicinal use or for the dispensing of prescriptions of medical practitioners only during the temporary absence of the registered pharmacist. Any person violating any of the Gen. Laws-42 provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred (100) dollars, or to an imprisonment for a term not exceeding fifty (50) days, or to both such fine and imprisonment. Sec. 2. Any person in order to be a registered pharmacist must be a licentiate in pharmacy, or a practicing pharmacist. Sec. 3. Licentiates in pharmacy are persons who have had four years' experience in stores where the prescriptions of medical practitioners are compounded, and shall have passed an examination before the state board of pharmacy, or who shall present satisfactory credentials of their attainments to the said board. Practicing pharmacists are persons who, at the passage of this act, are registered pharmacists. Sec. 4. Every pharmacist claiming the right of registration under this act shall, on or before the first day of July, next after its passage, forward to the board of pharmacy satisfactory proof that he was a duly registered pharmacist under the provisions of an act to regulate the prac tice of pharmacy or sale of poisons in the state of California, approved March eleventh, eighteen hundred and ninety-one, and engaged in the business of preparing and dispensing medicines and physicians' prescriptions at the time, or that he is otherwise entitled to registration under its provisions. The board of pharmacy shall then issue to said applicant, on his paying the sum of two (2.00) dollars, a certificate of registration. Any practicing pharmacist failing to comply with the requirements of this section within sixty days from and after the first day of July, nineteen hundred and one, shall forfeit his right to registration, and shall appear for examination as provided for in this act. Sec. 5. Every assistant pharmacist claiming right of registration under this act, without passing an examination by the board of pharmacy, shall, on or before the first day of July next after the passage, forward to the board of pharmacy satisfactory proof that he has had five years experience in drug stores where physicians' prescriptions are prepared. The board of pharmacy shall then issue to said applicant, upon his paying the sum of one (1.09) dollar, a certificate of registration as assistant pharma cist. Any assistant failing to comply with the requirements of this section within sixty (60) days from and after the first day of July, nineteen hundred and one, shall forfeit his right to registration, without passing the examination provided for in this act. No registered assistant shall conduct a pharmacy, or be granted a certificate as registered pharmacist, until he has passed the examination for licentiate in pharmacy as required by this act. Sec. 6. Within thirty (30) days after the passage of this act and every fourth year thereafter, the governor shall appoint seven competent pharmacists, residing in different parts of the state, to serve as a board of pharmacy.
