$cities lias one or more stores, and in tliecity of liahia, with an estimated population of 25(),(){)0, tliere are twenty-five stores devoted to tlie busi- ness, of wliieli five are exclusively wholesale stores, no prescriptions at all being componnded in tliem, and by law styled drujn stores; four are wholesale and retail combined, compounding' ])rescrii)tions, and by law styled drugstores and apothecaries; and the remainder do an almost exclusively prescription business and are bylaw styled apoth- ecaries. The law governing the sale of medicines, etc, prohibits drug stores from filling prescriptions, while it places no restriction against a pharmacy selling at wholesale if the i^roprietor so desires. All the drugs, chemicals, apparatus, and sundries, with the excep- tions to be noted, are imported from Europe, the greater part of them coming from France. There are no chemicals made here, nor can I find that the manufac- ture of pure drugs from the crude is carried on to any extent, other than the i^reparation from the crude product tinctures, waters, and such other pharmaceutical products and preparations as are made by the pharmacists the world over. There are a few stores that devote some time to the manufacture of tinctures, etc., for the trade, but as a rule each pharmacist does more or less of this for himself. The following lists, translated from the proceedings of the session of the Bahia council of public health, held on October 13, 1895, will be of interest in connection with the subject of pharmacy in this State. The council consists of the following well-known physicians and professors: Dr. Jose Francisco da Silva Lima, president; Pharmacist Enditos Emilio Pires Oardas; Dr. Joaquin Matheus Santos, Dr. Inocencio Cavalcaute, Dr. Antonio Paclflco Pereira, Jaime Martins Baggi, Dr. Ednardo Cordilho Costa, Approved: Dr. Antonio August© de Figueredo Pitta.
