A law suit interesting to the members
OF the medical profession, as well as 10
apothecaries, is before the courts in
Montreal. a French Canadian practi-
toner, wishing to prescribe quinine for
child, through absent mindedness
wrote upon his prescription bisulphate
Of morphine instead Of bisulphate Of
quinine. The paper was taken to an
apothecary, whose assistant, perceiving
an error at once, attempted substitu-
ton, and made up the powders with sui.
plate Of morphine. The result was ia
tai. And now curiously complicated
question has to be settled by the judges.
The father of the child has sued the doc
tor because it was through his absent
mindedness that the child lost It's life.
The doctor has sued the apothecary fol-
all the damages to which the fathers
suit may put him. He pleads that he
ordered bisulphate Of morphine, and that
If such a substance existed and If the
apothecary had sent it to the child he
would be responsible, but no never or
dered sulphate Of morphine, and it was
the sulphate Of morphine that killed tbs
child.-Philadelphia Ledger.
