Sec. 211. Preservation of originals of prescriptions compounded
and copies thereof; inspection of prescriptions by consular
officers; marking containers of drugs
Every person, firm, or corporation whose permanent allegiance is due
to the United States owning, partly owning, or managing a drug store or
pharmacy shall keep in his place of business a suitable book or file, in
which shall be preserved for a period of not less than three years the
original of every prescription compounded or dispensed at such store or
pharmacy, or a copy of such prescription, except when the preservation
of the original is required by section 207 or 208 of this title. Upon
request the owner, part owner, or manager of such store shall furnish to
the prescribing physician, or to the person for whom such prescription
was compounded or dispensed, a true and correct copy thereof. Any
prescription required by section 207 or 208 of this title, and any
prescription for, or register of sales of, substances mentioned in such
sections shall at all times be open to inspection by duly authorized
consular officers in the consular districts of the United States in
China. No person, firm, or corporation whose permanent allegiance is due
to the United States shall, in a consular district, compound or dispense
any drug or drugs or deliver the same to any other person without
marking on the container thereof the name of the drug or drugs contained
therein and directions for using the same.
