SWEDISH APOTHECARY
A PUBLIC OFFICIAL
Nc Patent Medicine or Secret Remedy
Can Be Brought Into Country
Without His Approval

Peculiar conditions regarding apcthe-
carries exists in Sweden. where the law
governing such shops is unusually strict
In an Sweden. which has a population
of more than 100000 there are less
than $50 apothecary shops. a better
idea of the lack of such facilities can be
gained from the statement that in
Stockholm, Sweden's capital. the pCpu-
latiOn is 100000 and there are bur TWEEN
ty-two such shops. one apotheca~y is
consequently, allotted TO about l5.C0)
people
Inc attitude and position of apotheca-
ries in Sweden is unlike that in any eth
er country. They constitute a set of re-
fined and highly educated men, who are
regarded as public officials and who
deem themselves guardians of the pubic
health.
Sweden's laws on the subject of mcli-
cine are so strict that no patent medi-
cine or secret remedy can be taken into
tEC country except on reQuisition by one
of the apoth carries. a violation of this
law, il is said, is followed by prosecu-
uon and punishment of the offender
and the conhscation OF the medicine.
