You might find some sociologists of the professions have written about
the subject.
I read a lot on the subject of the development of the professions over
20 years ago, but I can't recall anyone discussing druggists.
I guess they may have the same origins as modern-day barbers who
originally were also dentists.
The dentistry profession gradually arose in the period between about
1850 and 1950.

Subject: [LOCAL-HISTORY] Druggist
Please can anyone advise what (if any) training, licence or capital
might have been needed to become a "druggist" in early / mid-19th
century England?
