ceived warning in a circular letter is
sued by the state board of pharmacy
directed against the Illicit sale of CO.
caine under the penalty of the strin-
gent law adopted by the last legisIa-
ture. The board cautioned the phar-
macists against the sale of catarrhal
powders, many of which contain CO.
caine.
The board declared that the fact
that the druggists did not know that
the medicines purchased by him cons
tanned cocaine was not Talid excuse
in the eye of the law.
The letter did not make any threats
against violators of the law, but the
board has given instructions to its
representatives regarding the meth
