DRUGGISTS WORRIED
Wave Many Drugs in Their
Stock Which Do Not
Bear Labels.
TROUBLE is ENCOUNTERED.

More than 200 druggists from differ
ent parts of the State, many of them
from Indianapolis, met at the State
House yesterday afternoon to discuss
with H. E. Barnard, State food and
drug commissioner, the provisions of
che new law which requires that drugs
which contain certain substances,
such as morphine, opium and alcohol,
shall bear labels showing the proper
ton Of these substances which they
contain.
Many of the druggists have in stock
old drugs which do not bear labels.
They do not know the formulas for
these drugs. and have no way. there
fore, OF labelling them. Many drug
gists have written to manufacturers to
obtain formulas. One druggist de-
olared that he had sent out letters TO
1000 manufacturing firms and had re-
ceived formulas from so per cent. of
them. 1t will be impossible to obtain
formulas from manufacturers for all of
the drugs in stock, and where requests
directed to the manufacturers fail,
Mr.. Barnard will lend a helping hand.

Legislation was under consideration be-

Certain conspicuous opponents of the

that they were assured Of at least thir-

Careful polls of the list Of the senators
make it seem unlikely that any such

that the bills are now in a precarious
