Just points to the Legisl iture Tor corfec-

Ia thing that is not manufactured, and

.rious matter was the whisky prescrip'
ton matter. :,
MIR. Booking made a short reply, and
il was brought out that 1t was the lnten-
ton Of the Commissioners to rigldiy en-
force the provisions oi the law.
Dr. Logan made a very interesting
speech on tue subject that WAS frequent
Is spplauded. lie carefully went over
the law and spoke OF lis unjust discrim'
nations lie fei. that the druggists were
in an unfortunate predicament. Dr..
Logan claimed that the poison section
did not protect the public as it was
claimed that it would. Any country
store keeper eau, under the present law,
sell any poison he wants 10 ana with
out any black bottle, paper or label.
DIR. Shriver and mr. Chaliant second
ed DIR. Logan's remarks, and slated sew
eral cases that had cone under their
notice, illustrating the unjust discriml'
nations against the druggists.
Mr. McCsbe thought the matter could
be arrived at in this manner. AtpTes'
ent there is no recourse from the la"
until the Legislature shall meet:
Therefore, 10 lind out the intentions Of
the Commissioners, what they propose
to do, ETC., let the Committee OH the

Commissioners.
Ur. Want made one OF the hest
speeches OF the morning and was often
applauded.
Commissioner Baker was called on
for his opinion and stated that as far as
the sale Of liquors was concerned he un-
derstood the law requiring a prescrlp-
ton, as being repeated, and that liquor
could not now be sold except for medi-
cinal and mechanical purposes, and a
register kept. AS far as the black bottle
was concerned, black paper pasted on,
was in his opinion sufficient. As lar as
the matter OF the country store keepers
was concerned, he thought it was peces
sarv that they should pay the $40 tax.
Messrs. Baker aud Boxgs asked to be
excused from serving ON the Pharmacy
Act Committee as they were Commits

Tour of Inspection.

sive glass works OF Hobbs, Brockunier
& Co. were reached. Here every one
received hearty welcome and being
divided up into squads, were placed un-
der the care Of guides and shown frs,
the sample room, then the works proper
in all its. departments. To nearly all
this was something new and the visit
proved very Instructive and
entertaining many. members want

longer time than was allowed. The firm
