DRUGGISTS PROTEST AGAINST IT
Say Carbolic Acid Ordinance Would Not
Lessen the Number of Suicides

Health Commissioner Darlington gave hearing
yesterday TO a number Of druggists on their pro-
test against the city ordinance adopted
through his influence forbddlng the sale or car
bolic acid. other than weak solution. except on
a physicians certificate.
DR.. William Muir president OF the Kings County
Pharmaceutical Society. said he recognized that
the idea Of the ordinance good. but he did not
believe the would have the effect intended
and hoped for. II would not lessen the number of
suicides, he believed. such persons would try
some other method. II the sale OF small quantities
OF the acid WAS stopped he declared. the whole
sale druggists would put up the poison in small
original packages and thus evade the ordinance
The commissioner declared that his investigation
OF carbolc acid suicides for several months showed
that in % per cent OF the the acid bought
in drug stores without difficulty. 'Is all the car
bolc acid in New-York. and all the profit to be
made upon il, worth a single human llfe?" he
asked There is moral question in this matter.
1t is my duty to protect human life. and the moral
obligation in enforcing this ordinance IS that
cannot ignore"
Dr. Muir declared that a per cent solution OF
csrDonc acid would be just corrosive. and there
fore deadly in It's effects. II taken in sufficient
quantity as the IS per cent solution.
ne commissioner promised to give full
sideration to the protests against the ordinance.
