However the field of pharmacology was unregulated and otherwise-effective prescriptions were often corrupted by inaccurate dosages or ersatz ingredients. The founding of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy PCP in the 1800s is recognized as a radical first step forward in the development of a system of pharmaceutical practice in the United States. On March 13 1821 68 pharmacists signed the Constitution of the first pharmaceutical association in the United States in the Carpenters' Hall the same room as where the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. The symbolism of the Carpenters' Hall backdrop was clear: American pharmacy would be following in the footsteps of the founding fathers and their constitutional framework. The PCP constitution included a strict code of ethics that would expel anyone from the college who adulterated medications and provided for a committee of inspection to verify the purity safety and effectiveness of medicines and a committee of equity to arbitrate disputes between member pharmacists. In 1824 the PCP published "carefully determined formulas" for the fabrication of formerly "secret-formula" patent medicines imported from the UK an essential step toward self-sufficient pharmaceutical manufacturing in the U.S. WSU History of Pharmacy. unknown books
