The "Act for better regulating the practice of Apothecaries throughout England and Wales," passed in 1815, contains clauses, amongst others, under the following heads.

"Penalty on Apothecaries refusing to compound, or unfaithfully compounding medicines prescribed."

"Persons not to practise as Apothecaries, &c. without due examination."

"Assistants to Apothecaries, &c. to be examined."

"Power for Master and Wardens to appoint five Apothecaries as examiners for assistants."

"Penalty for acting without a certificate."

By reference to these clauses, it will be seen, that the society or company of Apothecaries of London, have the power, either by themselves or deputies, of examining all persons who have commenced practice as Apothecaries, or assistants to Apothecaries, since the first of August, 1815, in any part of England and Wales, and all persons intending to practise as Apothecaries
