Abstract:

In this article, conflicts involving pharmacists and doctors are presented, especially those linked to the Inspectorate of Hygiene, in the city of Salvador in the last decade of the 19th century, a topic that has not yet been addressed by historiography. The intention is to discuss how the regulation created during the imperial government to control healing practices in general and the work of pharmacists in particular ended up limiting the performance of the latter. Considering the prescriptions imposed to them by the health authorities to be unfair, for restricting their performance while favoring liars, several pharmacists fought to acquire autonomy in the face of what they considered authoritarianism of doctors. Such conflicts reveal how much the establishment of medical science as hegemonic in the country was a turbulent process even among pairs of supposedly allied professions. The beginning of the Republic, a context permeated by debates and transformations that occurred with the fall of the monarchy, the abolition of slavery and the initial difficulties for the establishment of power, was strongly marked by the presence of doctors, who worked together with military and jurists to impose a new social organization. The medical presence was verified in the strong influence of racialized thinking that characterized public policies, as well as in the exclusionary and authoritarian organization of society.
