Certificate, and be rendered incapable in future of using or exercising
the Art and Mystery of an Apothecary, and be liable to the Penalty
inflicted by this Act upon all who practise as such without a
Certificate, in the same manner as if such party so convicted had never
been furnished with a Certificate enabling him to practise as an
Apothecary; and such Offender so deprived of his Certificate, shall be
rendered and deemed incapable in future of receiving and holding any
fresh Certificate, unless the said party so applying for a renewal of
his Certificate, shall faithfully promise and undertake, and give good
and sufficient Security, that he will not in future be guilty of the
like offence.
_And be it further Enacted_, That each and every of them the said Master
and Wardens for the time being, may, and they are hereby respectively
empowered, by writing under his or their hands, to appoint any one or
more of the said Court of Assistants to act as Deputy Master, or as
Deputy Wardens, as the case may be, in all matters and things done, or
authorized to be done, by the said Master, or the said Wardens, under
and by virtue of the said recited Charter, or of this Act, and to remove
such Deputy Master, or Deputy Wardens so to be appointed from time to
time, as the said Master, or the said Wardens, shall respectively think
proper; and all acts, matters, and things which shall be lawfully done
by the said Deputy Master or Deputy Wardens so to be appointed as
aforesaid, as the case may be, shall be as good, valid, and effectual,
as if the same were done and performed by the said Master and Wardens
respectively.
_And whereas_ much mischief and inconvenience has arisen, from great
numbers of persons in many parts of _England_ and _Wales_ exercising the
functions of an Apothecary, who are wholly ignorant, and utterly
incompetent to the exercise of such functions, whereby the Health and
Lives of the Community are greatly endangered; and it is become
necessary that provision should be made for remedying such evils; _Be it
therefore further Enacted_, That the said Master, Wardens, and Society
of the Art and Mystery of Apothecaries of the City of _London_,
incorporated by the said recited Charter of His Majesty King _James_ the
First, and their Successors, shall be, and they are hereby appointed and
constituted, directed and empowered, for ever to superintend the
execution of the provisions of this Act, and to enforce and carry the
several regulations and provisions thereof, in relation to the several
persons practising the Art or Mystery or Profession of an Apothecary
throughout _England_ and _Wales_, and all other the purposes of this
Act, into full execution.
