AGAINST PURE DRUG BILL.
Pharmacists Sag 1t Would did For
eign Corporations.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rn1pUNn.}

Albany March 15~-A great German drug corpora
ton which said to have opposed the Mann bill in
Congress. a measure forbiddng foreign chemists
to patent their compounds in this country. would
receive the chief benefit from the Grady Pure
Drug bill. according to the testimony OF pharma-
cists who appeared to-day before the Senate Com
Mite. of Public Health DR.. William Muir. who
spoke for the Network State Pharmaceutical So
ciety and others representing similar local organ-
cations in New-York and Buffalo, declared that the
whole effect Of the was to protect foreign
patented articles which sold here at prices several
hundred per cent higher than they brought at
home.
Since this bill is modelled almost word for word
after the Hepburn bill before Congress, and
has the approval of the State Department of Agri-
culture the charges of the pharmacists created a
sensation but its critics refused to recede from
their position.
While ostensibly framed to give the consumer
pure food and drugs" said DR.. Muir. Sin reality 1t
would protect the foreign manufacturers at the
expense of the American public. 1t provides that
no article should be labelled with the name OF a
foreign product when not OF Foreign origin This
would prevent druggists from selling many wei
known medical drugs under the names by which
the public know them. 1t is directly opposed to the
Recommendations of President Roosevelt in his an
nual message against patented drugs
