There was discussion over the bill to
allow DR.. II. r. Jones Of Brunswick. and
others. to practice pharmacy without
passing the cxamir alton required by law
Or. Jones Is practicing physician re-
mote from drug stores. and he wanted
the privilege Of compromising prcscrip-
tions.
Mr KeSzol oppos cd the bin contending
that the act creating the Board of Phar-
macy had better be repealed than that
.he Legislature should continue TO go on
licensing persons who have not passed eX-
animation 10 practice pharn acy.
Mr.. LeCato opposed the bill in a force
ful speech, and was followed by Mr.
Turnbuil. who said the objections 10 the
measure were not at all logical. lie eX-
piained that DR.. Jones praCtiCcd medicine
md compounded prescriptions FOR his own
patients. and there was no reason why
nc should not compound prescriptions for
other physicians. lie said the pharmacy
act needed TO be amended. and he rad
tried TO have IL amended. but failed.

attention to the fact that the Bar Asso-
citation of Virginia had after years of ei-
fort. had an act passed requiring that all
LAWYERS admitted 10 the bar should be
examined by judges OF tho Court Of APP
pcals. The Senate had just as well pass
an act relieving a lawyer OF this exami-
nation as to license a person TO practice
pharmacy who had not passed the re-
quired examination.

the country people sometimes needed
medicine more than they needed logic.
lie did not believe in close corporations
among lawyers or other professions lie
called attention 10 the fact that the
greatest lawyers of our State were pro-
duced before they had to be subjected 10
the critical examination that one has now
"a undergo i'm order TO be admitted TO the

gle lawyer in the Sena-o who would not
shudder had he 10 face he Court OF APP

other physicians.
Mr.. Flood opposed recommittal' ana
supported the bill.
Mr.. Mushbach said he could not agree
with Senator Wickham that all the great
lawyers were dead. Lawyers OF to-day
have questions far more intricate than
those Daniel Webster ever had 10 deal
with. Mr. Mushbach was opposed 10
special legislation, and supported the mo-
ton TO recommt. If the pharmacy law
was a bad on the best way 10 fet rld o.
fl was to follow Gen. Grants advice ana
10 enforce II. lie was willing TO vote
for an amendment 10 the act 10 allow
