Pharmacy was a profession separated from medicine, mainly devoted to preparation, storage and sale of drugs. By analyzing the Historical Files of the city of Jerez de los Caballeros, we studied the evolution of the druggists and pharmacists throughout the 19th century, their misfortunes and problems that faced to settle down in the town when presenting their titles to the Town Hall, and to open their retail pharmacies. Among their duties were the supply of medicines to poor patients, the Hospital, prisoners and military patients. The figure of subdelegate of Pharmacy was given the task of supervision and of avoiding intrusism. The widows and children of deceased pharmacists could continue with the pharmacy, provided that an authorized apothecary agreed to manage it.
