Summary The first step of the government of the war of independence referring to the pharmacological training was an order number 268/10 (10th of June, 1848), which ordained future students to finish at least 6 years in the secondary school. This decree fixes the time of probation in 3 years and prescribes the modes and methods of probationary examination and of survey of pharmacies. The order number 859 — 85 (21st of June, 1848) is prescribing the elaboration of the Hungarian pharmacopoeia and of price system. Dr. pharm. Daniel Wagner senior, the official in charge of the pharmaceutical matters in the ministry, made a plan respecting of the pharmacological training. His plan was divided into two main chapters. The first part of his memorandum was dealing with the training of pharmacists and the second part with the control of them. Wagner discussed further in his elaboration in details the general course of the university studies, the main subjects and methods of the prescribed examinations. The student gets the degree of pharmacist only in that case, if he is passing the examinations, and is handing in an inaugural dissertation, and holds a successful public dispute in its matter. These orders and plans were ahead of their time and their creators are deserving our utmost appreciation.
