Of our state. and az . member OF said
Board. ] beg the use OF your columns
TO correct certain CARRIED and untrue
reports that have been published con-
appointed board, wnich occurred in
Montgomery last month. One Of these
articles, which we understand has been
largely copied By papers over the
mination Of the board to stop dealers
In general merchandise from handing
drugs Of any kind. and tho same
article stated that they. could sell them
paper stated In big headlines that the
board intended TO stop the sale OF
liquor In the state. Maybe We wish
We could do this. but the voters OF
the state will decide that, on November
In the first place the pharmacy laws
were enacted not only tor the protec-
ton Of the profession OF pharmacy. but
largely for the welfare and protection
Of the people OF our state. not only
from impnrity in drugs and medicines.
but from ignorance In compounding
and dispensing medicines TOR the sick:

the law distinctly says "the Ordinary
