Previous issue date: 2007 / Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Casa de Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. / Tem por fim refletir sobre o início do processo de institucionalização da farmácia, através de duas associações de cunho científico-profissional, que se formaram em meados do século XIX na capital do Império: Sociedade Farmacêutica Brasileira (1851) e o Instituto Famacêutico do Rio de Janeiro (1858). O período entre 1851-1887 correspondeu ao tempo de vida das sociedades, preenchido pela circulação de seus periódicos e pela existência de seus respectivos gestores. / The study aims to think about the beginning of the process of institutionalization of pharmacy through the analysis of two professional-scientific societies, that were created in the middle of the XIX century in the capital of the Empire: the Sociedade Farmacêutica Brasileira (1851) and the Instituto Farmacêutico do Rio de Janeiro (1858). These institutions presented some proposals designed to give the status of
science to pharmacy: the improvement of pharmacy education, the control of the illegal practice of pharmacy and the creation of a brazilian pharmaceutical code. The 1851-1887 period corresponded to the lifetime of those societies, the circulation of their periodicals and the existence of the respective directors. The relations established between those societies and the Sociedade Farmacêutica Lusitana, created in 1834, in the city of Lisbon, reveal that the history of the two countries remained intertwined, even after the independence of Brazil, allowing some common points to be identified: the inferiority stigma regarding medicine and the nations considered as civilized; the structuring of pharmacy education
linked to medical education; the sanitary legislation; the political regime among others. The relation between art, science and politics is shown by the reconstitution of the life of the main pharmacy founders on the two sides of the Atlantic. Drugs stand out as the main object of this science. Tensions between
pharmacists and chemists, and/ or homeopaths, and/ or doctors in medicine, the last representing health institutions of the imperial government, are analyzed through drug uses and meanings/ These tensions are characterized by the contrasts between the scientific and commercial natures of its activities, besides
the magical and/or sacred meaning of drugs, wich remains latent in the daily life of the imperial society. Actions related to education, expressed by the inclusion of the Sociedade Farmacêutica Brasileira in the Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro, and the creation of a college by the Instituto Farmacêutico do Rio de Janeiro, reveal the search for a scientific nature for its activities, intending to enlarge its scope of action beyond the preparation and conservation of drugs. For developing this study, dialogs have been established between a varied documentary material and the literature available on the subject, or related to it. Among the main documentary material, periodicals of the Brazilian societies and of the Sociedade Farmacêutica Lusitana, reports of the Minister of the Empire and of the Central Board of Public Hygiene, historical memories of the Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro and the sanitary legislation of the period have been used. Consulted bibliography includes works in the areas of History of Pharmacy, Medicine and Drugs; History and History of Science; History of Brazil and History of Portugal, besides some literary and dramaturgic works.
