It therefore follows that no corporate body, and, in Scotland, no firm or partnership, may use these titles, for it is impossible for them to be registered under the Pharmacy Act. The members of a firm or partnership in Scotland may, if they are pharmaceutical chemists, use these titles in connection with their individual names, e.g., Macdonald & Co. (A. B. Morrison, Pharmaceutical Chemist; C. D. Grey, Pharmaceutical Chemist). As to firms or partnerships in England and Wales see p. 24. The position of companies in regard to the use of the titles reserved by the 1868 Act is dealt with at p. 21. (b) Duly Registered.—The registrar under this Act appointed by the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society is required to keep a register of pharmaceutical chemists.

(Pharmacy Act, 1852, ss. 4, 6, and 8.) Persons in business as chemists and druggists prior to 1852 who became members of the Society after the passing of the 1852 Act, according to its bye-laws and charter, were entitled to be put upon the register of pharmaceutical chemists, although they had been admitted as members of the Society without being examined according to the provisions of the Act.

(c) Pharmaceutical Chemist, or Pharmaceutist.—These titles are specifically named in section 12 of the Act of 1852, and by that section their use is restricted to registered phar- maceutical chemists.
