Gellerson is visiting druggists and
grocers throughout the state, inspect
ing their stocks and calling attention
to any points wherein the provisions
of the law are not being complied

lines of the National Pure Food Law
with the exec ption that drugs dis
pensed OH physicians prescriptions
are exempt from the requirement as
to labelling to represent their ingre-
dents. All drugs kept for sale or
dispensed otherwise than OH the pre-
scription of physician, if they con
tain alcohol or any other of the more
potent poisons, must bear label
stating the proportions of these in
gradients. The label on all drugs and
foods kept for sale in packages must
be truthful in their statements as to
the contents of the package The law
imposes many additional burdens
upon the dealer but all seem to be
making every effort to comply with
its terms in good faith.
