The Pharmacy Law.

NEED FOR ITS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS SALE OF
P01S0NS-BOYs IN CHARGE OF DRUG STORES
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
In the interest of the registered assistant
pharmacist, and for the protection of the public
in general. ask the insertion of the following
in your valuable paper. at the monthly meet
ing of the board OF trustees of the National Col
lege of Pharmacy. Charles Becker and w. S.
Thompson were elected delegates to represent
that institution at the convention to be held at
Niagara Falls.
L hope those gentlemen on their return will
represent the interest of the pharmacists and as
slstant pharmacists to some purpose. Under the
provisions OF section of the act of Congress
approved June Is. 1878. entitled s'an act to
regulate the practice Of pharmacy in the Dis
trct OF Columbia, commissioners We're elected
to see that the law regulating the practice of
pharmacy should be enforced.
Mr.. Becker is secretary and Mr.. Thompson is
one of the said commissioners. The law was
enacted for the protection of the pharmacist, his
assistant, and the public in general, by stopping
all persons not competent from practicing phar-
macy. and to compel the druggist to keep book
in which to register the sale of pOisOns Many
stores have never kept such book, and any
child, who Is old enough to talk. can buy poison
with but little care of the consequences on the
part of the pharmacist. l can name half dozen
drug stores, and will do so if called upon, in
which boys who have been i'm the business
(under instructiOns) only one or two years, have
full charge. and this thing Is getting more fire.
qnent every day. 1t is time fort the safety of the
public and the protection of the assistant phar-
Inacist, to demand Of the commissioners Of
pharmacy the strict enforcement of the law. |
assert that the commissioners have never en-
forced out one part of the law-that Of registra-
tion-and that for only about two weeks, for
whch each pharmacist and assistant pharmacist
paid So or So %. ! was a victim of the larger
amount. If the commissioners want any asss-
lance, let them call on the assistant pharmacist
through your paper.

Some Interesting Cape May Gossip:
Cape May correspondent Of the New York
Sun says:
There is considerable excitement here In social
circles since it has become known that exQui-
site boxes of flowers, belt bouquets, and such
delicate tributes have been sent to a certain
lady at Cape May daily from the Executive man
sOn The lady is well known, and is accom-
plished and beautiful, and the flowers she wears
attract much attention for their loneliness.
President Arthur Is still I'm Washington. and no
doubt future events at the White House will
explain the meaning of these delicate offerings.

day. She is still the recipient of floral tributes

A Sympathy Circuit.

A young lady from indianapolis, Ind, yester-
day related a ludicrously queer belief The
indianapolis. when the lady remarked that
neither she nor any Of her family ever had fever
of any kind. Being asked how she and her
folks were so lucky in lodging the malady she
replied that they all believed in sympathy. with
curiosity raised she was further asked what she
meant. The young lady eyed her questioner
disdainfully and said, with all truth and earnest
ness: why. we all eat an apple before rising
