State Law reference— Provisions on the regulation of drugs, Health and S. C. § 11000 et seq.

No physician, surgeon, osteopath, midwife, professional nurse, dentist or any other person employing any method of healing the sick shall practice or carry on his profession, business or employment in the City until he has first registered as such with the Health Officer in a register kept by the Health Officer in his office for that purpose. No physician, surgeon, osteopath, or dentist shall be permitted to register unless he has first obtained a license from one (1) of the respective State Boards of Examiners.

(Prior code § 5130)

No person shall peddle or dispense any medicine or drugs within the City until such person has first registered with the Health Officer, in a register kept by the Secretary in his office for that purpose, the name of the person wishing to peddle or dispense such medicines or drugs together with the names of the various medicines or drugs which they wish to peddle or dispense. If the Health Officer is satisfied that the peddling or dispensing of such medicines and drugs by such person does not conflict with any State laws or ordinances of the City, he may issue a permit to peddle and dispense the medicines and drugs named in the permit upon the payment of a fee as determined by the City Council by resolution. Nothing in this Chapter, however, shall apply to licensed pharmacists or travelling salesmen dealing directly with physicians or pharmacists.

No person shall barter, sell, dispense, or give away any veronal, veronal-sodium, barbital, barbital sodium, brominyl and barbital, luminal or luminal-sodium, except under the prescription of a physician duly licensed to practice as such under and in accordance with the State laws, such prescription to be filled only once on the date of issuance thereof. Every such prescription shall be issued, signed, and dated by a duly licensed physician and shall have endorsed upon it by such physician the name and address of the person for whose use the prescription is made and the statement that in his opinion the drug so prescribed is required by the person as a medicine. No other form of prescription shall be deemed to be within the intent of this Section. All such prescriptions shall be kept on file for at least one (1) year and open at all times to the inspection of duly authorized officers of the City while the pharmacy is open for business.
