Those who have examined Senator Le-
Crone's bill to regulate the practice of
pharmacy claim that, unless amended, no
country storekeeper will be permitted 10
sell the simplest remedy unless he en-
p.oys a registered pharmacist 10 help him.
or unless he has himself registered under
the existing law. II this is true the bill
should not be permitted TO pass without

sell proprietary medicines in original pack
ages. Great numbers OF people live In
country districts where physicians are not
easily reached: and to destroy the sale
OF domestic standard remedies would en-
