Samples of drugs for analysis have 81

a written order from me, so that in al

ordinary customer; with two others ;
delay of from one to twenty-four hour

fed in charging fraud simply because. o
a delay in filling order, the doubt re
mains a factor in making a report
and all reports on drugs examined here
after will include note of the time II
which the order was filed.
