Many cases of dispensing drugs without doctors' prescriptions were reported throughout Japan during 1914-16. Some cases were brought to the courts. Pharmacists had been selling prescription drugs to their customers without prescriptions. This dispensing act was admitted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs after 1913. However, doctors claimed that the act of dispensing drugs without a prescription infringed on Law No. 10, and the Japan Pharmacists Association hired a notable lawyer and fought a lawsuit against eight pharmacists who dispensed prescription drugs without prescription in Shiba Ward, in Tokyo. This case occurred because at that time no practice existed that allowed drugs to be dispensed separately from medical practice.
1914年至1916年期间，日本各地报告了许多无医生处方售药的案例。一些案例被诉诸法庭。药剂师一直在无处方的情况下向顾客出售处方药。内务省在1913年后认可了这种配药行为。然而，医生们声称无处方配药的行为违反了第10号法律，日本药剂师协会聘请了一位知名律师，对东京芝区八名无处方配药的药剂师提起诉讼。该案件的发生是因为当时不存在允许药品与医疗行为分开配药的惯例。
