The Sale of Poisons.

4 u Elsewhere VIC print the draft of tho
proposed bill by Or. George y, Barksdalc,
OF Richmond, to regulate the practice Of
pharmacy in this State. y appeared
Originally in The Mobile Medical and Sur
gIcal Journal together with an explnna-
tory article by Or. Barksdale, who tells
4us that for two or three years he has
been at great pains to elaborate II bill
!. that would be sufficiently stringent in its
4 provisions to protect tho public, yet per-
NIT With tho least degree OF inconve-
nience the dispensing of poisonous drugs
without unduly making the provisions
yjrksome. Or. Barksdalc says that, ac-
cordng 10 the United States vital sta
tistics for 1900 the total number OF deaths
Z Tor that year was 25,fT5o, OF this NUM-
her 10 were caused by drowning, IS by
injuries duo to machinery, n BY lightning,
y II by burns and scalds, 1872 by railway
accidents. and 20 by poison alone. or
the Fl suicides during tho year, poison;
! was used in only 4 cases, which makes
III appear that So persons lost their lives
Z from accidental poisoning within a single
b year.
4 Dr. Darksdale enters Into discussion
4 OF the present Virginia law, and points
out its defects. Then coming 10 consider
his own hill. he starts out with the sup
position that there is moi single regu-
latlon governing the sale of poisons in
this State or in the Union. In such case,
4 he says. ii would be necessary To- define
i the term poison or 10 name the list OF
substances SO considered, and since some
poisons are rarer md more potent than
others, these have been placed In "a
A aepara to \ paragraph, and arc positively
forbidden To be sold except upon the
