Section 1. That Chapter 28 of the Revised Code of the State of Delaware be and the same is hereby amended by striking out all of 865, Sec. 10, and inserting in lieu thereof the following new section, to be styled, 865, Sec. 10:
865, Sec. 10. If the applicant for license as a pharmacist or assistant pharmacist has complied with all the requirements of the two preceding sections, the Board of Pharmacy shall enroll his name upon the register of pharmacists or assistant pharmacists, and issue to him a license which shall entitle him to practice as pharmacist or assistant pharmacist for the remainder of that calendar year.
All licenses heretofore issued shall expire at the end of thirty days after the passage of this Act and within the said thirty days all pharmacists and assistant pharmacists shall make application to the Secretary of the Board of Pharmacy for a renewal of license, which renewal shall expire on the first day of January, 1922.

The Board of Pharmacy may refuse to grant a license to any person guilty of felony, misdemeanor or gross immorality, or who is addicted to the use of alcoholic liquors or narcotic drugs to such an extent as to render him unfit to practice pharmacy; the Board of Pharmacy may, after due notice and hearing, revoke a license for like cause, or any license which has been procured by fraud.
An appeal from the action of the Board in refusing to grant, or in revoking a license for such cause may be taken to the Governor and Attorney General, the decision of which officers, either affirming or overruling the action of the Board, shall be final.
Section 2. That Chapter 28 of the Revised Code of the State of Delaware be and the same is further amended by striking out all of 872, Sec. 17 of said Chapter, and by inserting in lieu thereof the following new section, to be styled, 872, Sec. 17:
