OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, annotations decided under former Code 1933, § 79A-518 are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Word "apothecary" in business title not misleading if business clearly not pharmacy.

- Purpose of former Code 1933, § 79A-518 (see now O.C.G.A. § 26-4-117) was to safeguard the public health, safety, and welfare by preventing the creation of business establishments which tend to mislead the public into believing the establishments are pharmacies when they are not; a lounge with the business title "Apothecary Lounge" would not likely mislead the public into believing that this establishment was a pharmacy. 1970 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 70-143 (decided under former Code 1933, § 79A-518).
