me in the most vigorous terms says a writer in
the New York Press, the habit of the great ma
| 1ortty OF druggists in substituting remedies in
| prescriptions, when they do not have in stock
| drugs demanded by the doctors who write them.
| Said he: 1t should be made a criminal offense
for any druggist to substitute one drug for an
| other IN prescription. The practice has be-
| come so bad that when patient of mine went
| to drug store the other day with prescription
| that called for specific remedy which I have
| myself compounded, aud of which the formula
| is known to all the druggists of my neighbour
| hood, bottle of medicine was given him thet
| in no way was like what it should be. He had
gone to drug store that did not have the for
mula, and they had simply fixed up a compound
| for him haphaZard They could have secured
the prescription by sending to me- when they
found they did not have the formula. The man
got sick on what they gave him, and they could
be sued for heavy damages. The evil is so great
that there are only three or four drug stores in
all New York on which / can rely to fill pre-
scrlptlons properly"
