of certificate to be known as that of “registered pharmacist”; and per-
mits to sell medicines to physicians in rural districts and towns of

Section 1680. The board of pharmacy may issue licenses to prac-
tice as pharmacists in this State, without examination, to such persons
as have been legally registered or licensed as pharmacists in other
States, provided that the applicant for such license shall present satis-
factory evidence of qualifications equal to those required from licen-
tiates in this State, and that he was registered or licensed by examina-
tion by the board of pharmacy in such other State, and that the stan-
dard of competence required in such other State is not lower than that
required in this State.

Applicants for license under this section shall, with their applica-
tion, forward to the secretary of the board of pharmacy the same
fees as are required of other candidates for license.

Section 1684. Every person who shall hereafter desire to be regis-
tered as a pharmacist shall file with the secretary of the board of phar-
macy an application, duly verified under oath, setting forth the name
and age of the applicant, the place or places at which, and the time

cist examination. After March first, nineteen hundred and thirty-five,
the board shall not issue an original certificate to any person as a regis-
tered assistant pharmacist; provided, however, that nothing in this
section shall prevent any person who was registered as an assistant
pharmacist prior to March first, nineteen hundred and thirty-three,
from continuing to practice as a registered assistant pharmacist.
