their being such evident by the Insertion of

OF QuaeRs..


The recent poisoning Of Mrs Biumenthal
by an ignorant vender of medicines, is sad
reminder Of the imperative need of the pas
sage 81 o law which shall have for its aim
the protection of the public from similar
calamities in future. Not only should law
pass our next legislature, applicable to
apothecaries and druggists, but.a legal pro-
vision should be made against the dangerous
practices ofignorant pretenders-to knowl-
edge of the science of medicine and surgery,
commonly known by the homely appellation
of quacks." While the legal profession is
to certain extent guarded against illiterate
and incompetent practitioners, the science
of pharmacy, and of the theory and practice
Of physic, is entirely unprotected by law,
and the regularly educated physician and
and the people ere at the mercy of every
ignoramus who has learned the ase of the
syringe, or the modus operandi of bread
pill making.
Every application that has thus far been
made by our medical men to the legislature
for the enactment Of bill for their protec-
tion, has been met with deaf ear, and he
who has obtained an education by hard
study. and has learned the secrets of mate
ria m edica, in the laboratory, and thor
ough knowledge of anatomy and physiology
by hours of toll and research with the seal
pei and dlssecting knife, has to take his
chances for a reputation and q livelihood
side by side with the lobelia cure-all, or the
ignorant ass who advertises to effect imposs-
BILE results, g without the aid of mercury ;"
and the careful and competent pharmacies
list and chemist of experience and erudition
finds formidable rival in the stupid dealer
in sarsaParilla and vermlfugs who opens
his shop next door.
We do not presume. at this time, to pro-
pose the form or provisions of law which
shall better this condition of affairs, but
wish to present the subject to the attention
of those who are Immediately interested in
the matter, and who can, if they will, effect
much toward the remedying of the evils un-
der consideration. Cur military command
ers, our naval officers, and the practitioners
in our courts are all obliged to pass rigid
examinations before being admitted to the
evercise of their various professions, then
why should not those who have to deal with
humaa health and life, as well be compelled
to prove themselves worthy the trust and
confidence Of the public, in the practice of
their responsible callfngs' Uncarea for,
and treated with marked disrespect, the
medical profession has fallen far below the
position it has right to occupy; anc open
to every huckster. the business of compound
ing medicines has descended to a level with
rum selling. Both can be elevated by
wholesome and judicious laws. and such laws
should be among the arst acts of the State
legislators elect.
