posed to be brought into Parliament, by certain Apothecaries,
contains many clauses do ply ihjui ions to the Chemists and Drug.
gists who compound and di-I:tense Medicines, and to the Public at
large, inasmuch as the operation of those clauses will be to put all
Compounders and Dispensers of Medicine under the controul of
a Committee of Apothecaries, (distinct from the Corporate Body
of Apothecaries,) and to give that Committee a power, by the
snaking of bye-laws and issuing of annual licences, to use means
of the grerest oppression and injustice, and eventually to place
a monopoly of the compounding and dispensing of Medicines Th
the hands of tlse Apothecaries, which will increase the price of
Ailedicine, and consequently daninii,h the means of a large body
of the community to procure necessary medical assistance.
9.. That the Chemists and Druggists having for a number of
years exercised the '1 rade of Compounding and Dispensing Me-
dicine (by which they mean snaking up the prescriptions ot Phy-
sicians and Surgeons) to the satisfaction and advantage of the
Public, consider it highly important to oppose this Bill in all its
stages, so far as it interferes with their established and univer-
sally.acknow:edged business.

quorum,) to take the neccs,ary steps for oppositak- the Bill ; and
