any mistake, asked me to weigh the contents
of the paper; I weighed the powder; l found
the ouinine bottle setting on the marble ia
BILE in front Of the prescription case, which
satisfied me I had not made q mistake, for l
had not used the case in the interval, between
putting up the quinine and DR.. Voigt's call
at the store I did not call Voigt's attention
to the fact; ! took the powder from the scales
and closed the doors Of the scale-case, and
went to the desk and marked the paper quiz
nine; went back to the counter and did the
parcel up in another paper; after l gave him
the powder l went to the door Of the shop
and went to the corner where Eaves < Nye's
store is, to see if Mr.. Armitage was coming,
so I could go to breakfast; l had no call
after to 90 to the case again until DIR. Voigt
came in; I am a druggist; l have served my
time as a druggist; l served four years, lack:
ing one month, in a drug store in Canada; l
am not u graduate Of any college Of pharma-
CIV; frst-class drug stores are generally sup.
piled with prescription bottles; the store
served in did not remove morphine from the
original package, because they had no pre-
scription bottles; but for two or three years
past | have noticed that all good stores have
them; l did not put the morphine in that bot
tie; the preceding evening I disposed OF some
morphine; quinine is most frequently called
for; probably twenty calls for quinipe to one
for morphine. w.,
Cross-E ramined.-I know that the bottle
marked ouininc contains that drug; l also
know that the bottle marked morphine con-
tains morphine; l know it, because it came
to us MS morphine; I believe it to be NOR
phine, because l i have sold it as morphine,
and the parties who used it have returned for
more don't know how many people l waited
upon on Sunday; ! am certain OF what l
have stated relative to the matter, because 1t
was the first customer in the morning; l at
tended to the regular sales of the shop, but 1t
would be impossible for me to tell what medi.
cine I sold gave the Mexican ten grains OF
quinine; am positive I did not sell any NOR
phinc that day the bottles were a foot apart;
| read "quinine" when I took down the bot
tie l am positive about it l did not put
back the bottle at the time.
Direct Examination misunderstanding
to the regulations Of our store, l would not
sell so large a quantity as ten grains of NOR
phine to a stranger; l did not know the
Mexican.
