and other poisonous compounds to the

minators, will have to go out Of the
business entirely and leave this field
of profit open exclusively to registered
pharmacists.

rived at in an opinion rendered in
response to letter of inquiry for an
Interpretation of the new law from

tions, especially prepared for the ex-
termination of rats and other vermin,
at seed and many grocery stores, where
no record is required to be kept, and it
is impossible under these conditions to
trace the source of poisonous drug or
compound which may have been Sc
cured with murderous or suicidal in
