the act In this respect il enforced, will
work a great injustice upon druggists,
falling al the same time TO secure any
corresponding projection or benefit to
the community at large.
3. Your committee also would call
your attention 10 the fact that IL will be
impossible, without great Inconvenience
and expense, TO comply with that pro.
vision OF the Pharmacy act which re-
uuires the pois,ns enumerated In
Schedules A and B to b, put up in
box, paper or vessel TO be colored
black. 1t has been ascertaiDed that
such vessels are no. made in the sizes
which will b. most required for the
purpose, and cannot be made except in
larger quantities than dealers are will
| irg 10 contract for. There are other
considerations, which render the use OF
a black vessel inconvenient and unde-
| sirable..
Your committee feel that under the
circumstances herein briefly stated, it
would work a great injustice to the
druggists OF this State to enforce upon
them such compliance with the provi-
sions OF the acts which have been re-
ierrea to, and especially when, as has
been shown, no practical benefit TO the
community is secured thereby. We
therefore respectfully but earnestly urge
that 1t is the duty of the Com
missioners OF Pharmacy to modify
as far as possible, such OF the
technical requirements Of the Act af1Ee-
| said, as may be conceded without any
| violation OF the spirit OF the law.
In this view we urge that the require
ment in regard to black box, vessel or
paper, he 81 construed as to recognize
the use OF a poison label, and the poison
record alone as a sufficient compliance
with the law, until il can be amended
i'm these respects, and until it can be 80
further amended as not TO discriminate
asit nov does to the injury OF the drug
gists OF the State.
Your committee believing that the
views expressed in this report are rea-
sonable, and not inconsistent with the
| spirit OF the Pharmacy Act, or with the
| interests OF the community, respectfully
submit them to the judgment OF the AS
ISOLATION.

SPEECH MAKING.
Mr.. Chalfant, OF .LeWis, made a
speech that is sincerely regretted. can.
not be published on account OF lack OF
space. While little lengthy, it was
clearly to the point and was applauded

the law, any man with
