title: [Fifty years after the enactment of the law to separate drug dispensing from doctors].
abstract: This report summarizes the action of Mr. Usho Mizoroki, who was not a pharmacist but was an activist for enacting the law to separate drug dispensing from doctors (Division of Labour Law). We collected the information Mrs. Shigeko Mizoroki revealed about her husband's activities towards enacting the Division of Labour Law, and added the historical background of that era. Nobody knows of his activities related to the enactment of the Division of Labour Law. It may be possible that the law itself was not successful, or that Mr. Usho Mizoroki was not a pharmacist. However it is important to know his efforts because the present division of labour practice is the result of the efforts of many people like him.
