. At the beginning of the twentieth century in the pharmaceutical community of Russia there were many problems. On the pages of the special press, such problems as the organization of pharmacy institutions (pharmacies, warehouses, shops, manufactures), directions and prospects for the development of the domestic pharmaceutical industry, its information support, relations within the pharmaceutical community, and the history of the development of world and domestic pharmaceutical science were discussed. However, more and more the subject of discussion was issues related to the fact of the extremely difficult situation of pharmacists-employees. Text . The paper presents an analysis of the report of B. N. Saltykova «On the need to reduce working hours in pharmacies.» In it, the author presented a detailed and impartial analysis of the activities of pharmacies in the early twentieth century, summarized and formulated claims of pharmacists to government departments, pharmacy owners and the entire pharmaceutical community, substantiating, in particular, the need to reduce the working hours of pharmacy employees. Conclusion . A detailed study of the contents of the report B. N. Saltykova leads to a clear understanding of the acuteness of issues related to unsatisfactory working and living conditions of pharmacists serving in Russian pharmacies at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. To solve this problem and establish normal work and life for pharmacists, a systematic approach is needed, as they would say now. In addition to the 8-hour shift and standardization of duties, changes were required at all levels of pharmaceutical education, changes in the legislative sphere, the search for consensus between the pharmacists-owners and pharmacists-employees, the appropriate labor protection of the pharmacist and the improvement of their life, and, most importantly, changes in society’s attitude to the pharmacist, that is, raising the prestige of this profession.
