[Ars medica Anhaltina (VI): Status, rights and responsibilities of physicians and pharmacists with reference to medico-legal aspects of the 18th and early 19th century].

The medicinal legalities of the Anhaltine territories developing under the influence of Enlightenment and Pietism and then characterized by philanthropism contain numerous progressive and for their age exemplary components. When comparing other relevant decrees their progressive character becomes clear by the accentuation of the necessities for provision of the population above all in rural regions. The in other places still strictly observed borders of the various groups of medical profession are varied according to the necessities. Earlier than in many other countries the representatives of surgery and pharmacy experience a reevaluation of the state leading to the insertion into medicinal-organizational authoritative bodies.
