Physicians, Pharmacists and Pharmacies in the Cities of Moldavia (1828–1834). Some Documentary Contributions

Summary/Abstract: The supervision of pharmacists’ training or of their activities, as well as the aspects related to the functioning and the endowment of the pharmacies, were among other main responsibilities of the physicians’ that practiced in the cities of Moldavia in the first half of the 19th century. Consequently, I have considered it appropriate to accomplish a brief research on this subject which, as a whole, can be included in a larger research of what we could name, with some credit, the „professionalization” of the physicians’ and pharmacists’ activity by the middle of the 19th century.Therefore, I could notice, both from the stipulations comprised in the Organic Statute and as well as from the numerous documents of the time, the special attention paid to the good training of the pharmacists and the proper functioning of the pharmacies. The numerous inspections carried out through the counties by the department physicians or by the physicians who were part of the Commission of the Physicians, in the case of Iași, reveal positive aspects in general. For the specific cases, where improvements needed to be made, the physicians responsible for these inspections often suggested the necessary measures for enhancing the situation. Therefore, having as main aim outlining a group of well-trained and responsible pharmacists, the new regulations intended a better organization in terms of preparation and dispatch of treatments. The few documents that join this short text play the role of strengthening and completing the aspects only outlined within these pages of my article.
