licensed pharmacist. Dr. Alexander
said that a great many petitions had
been sent by citizens Of HuntersvIlie
andthe whole vicinity was aroused
over the need of a, drug store. The
trade did not Justify high priced
druggist. He had introduced bill
to allow Huntorsville to be exempt
ed from the law. The president of the
state Pharmaceutical Association, at
ter the general law fixing the limit at
500 Inhabitants, had been agreed on
by the committee, readily consented
to fixing the limit at coo and the
Euntersville bill was then tabled. The
State Board still has the right to re-
fuse TO permit druggists not licensed
from selling drugs in towns of less
