Ing the short period of its existence, to
pharmacists throughout the state; and
by rigidly adhering to its provisions
nhere VIII continue to be felt a still
greater benefit. The poorly qualified
pharmacists will be gradually crowded
out, and their positions taken by more
competent individuals, and they will
be compelled to seek a new field. possi-
bly, in another state. There will be a
desire created and a constant effort put
iorth by our pharmacists in general to
rise higher, to acquire greater knowl-
edge, TO obtain a broader experience
IN our work and greater requirements

board. Thus pharmacy in this state

tion among the professions to which II
Is justly entitled.
