to conduct or manage any pharmacy, drug or chemical store, apothecary
shop, or other place of business for the retailing, compounding, or
dispensing of any drugs, chemicals, or poisons, or for the compounding
of physicians' prescriptions, or to keep exposed for sale at retail, any
drugs, chemicals, or poisons, except as hereinafter provided, or, except
as hereinafter provided, for any person whose permanent allegiance is

of this chapter to compound, dispense, or sell, at retail, any drug,
chemical, poison, or pharmaceutical preparation upon the prescription of
a physician, or otherwise, or to compound physicians' prescriptions,
except as an aid to and under the proper supervision of a pharmacist
licensed under this chapter. And it shall be unlawful for any person,
