§201 Doing Business Without a License Unlawful; Employment of Chinese Subjects

Summary

People who owe their permanent allegiance to the United States must not run or manage a pharmacy, drug store, apothecary, or similar place in the U.S. consular districts in China unless they are licensed pharmacists under this law. They also must not mix, prepare, dispense, or sell drugs, chemicals, or poisons at retail, or fill doctors’ prescriptions, unless they are licensed pharmacists or are working only as an aid and under the proper supervision of a licensed pharmacist. Owners, part owners, or managers who owe permanent allegiance to the United States must not allow unlicensed people to do those tasks except as an aid under a licensed pharmacist’s supervision. If it is necessary to hire Chinese subjects to mix, dispense, or sell drugs or poisons, the owner, firm, or manager may employ them only when at least two recognized and reputable practitioners of medicine, or two pharmacists licensed under this law who owe permanent allegiance to the United States, certify the Chinese workers’ character, ability, and that they are 21 years or over.
