SALE OF POISONS
Local Druggists Charged With
Not Putting on Labels.

A detective working in the em- ployment of the county health off cer. Carleton E. Hoadley of New Fla ven, has been prying into the busi- ness methods of local druggists the past few days, with the result that eight arrests were made. The legls- lature of 1903 enacted a law which provided certain things attending the sale of certain drugs and poisons. There are drugs and there are other kinds of drugs, just as there are dlf- ferent kinds of poison. But there are five particular brands of poison the sale of which the legislature of 1903 took particular care to guard. It provided that besides the regular safeguards being employed i'll the sale of such poisons, that is, that each package bear a label Poison in dls- tinct and legible letters, but also that the date of the sale shall be recorded in the druggists books, with the name of the seller and the name Of the purchaser. Early in January County Health Officer Hoadley dis patched few "agents" all over the country for the purpose of detecting violations of this law, and the har- vest they reaped was astonishing. The druggists seemed to have forgot ten, If they ever knew, that such law as that referred to was ever passed. Consequently wholesale ar rests resulted. In Waterbury, now ever, those agents" found a differ ent state of things. In q general way, considering the number of drug gists doing business in the city, the law was carried out fairly well. Up to date only eight writs have been issued. The following were the al legged violators: Mrs Margaret Brickley, Walter Kenyon, Fred Romer, E. J. Donahue, Robert J. Butler, c. ]. McSorley, l. A. Smith and J. A. Bergin. Many of the above are drug clerks, and owing to the methods of detection employed by the agent he is said to have found them in the act of violating the law.
 In store on East Main street he rushed in and ordered quantity oi bi-chloride of mercury, and, pretend ing to be in great hurry to catch a car, told the clerk not to bother with labelling it; so grasping the package the agent" rushed out of the store only to go through the same performance in another drug store. This state police method, however, did not protect the offend. ing clerk. His failure to properly label and record the sale of the poison thus sold was violation oi the law. It is unknown how many more cases are to come, and it seems that Mrs Brickley intends contestins the case against her, for while all the others have settled for s15 in each case, she, so far, has not done so.
