much interest shown on account of the pas

National Pure Food Laws.
In this report 1t was stated that the
matter is now on different footing from
that Of previous years. Continuing, this
report states: THE passage of the ma
tional pure food and drug laws, together
with the special state laws. now places the
responsibility for pure drugs on the indi-
vidual handling the same. and must GER
tainly put an end TO the evil. 1t will I'M
doubtedly be the practice for the members

with the laws of the land"
