MERCHANTS ASSN FIGHTS PAT
ENT MEDICINE LICENSE.
BIZ to Compel Dealers to Take Out
License Attacked-The Scope Of
the Bill,

The Retail Merchants Association
of Gloucester County met in Moose
Hall yesterday afternoon and adopted
a resolution urging upon Gloucester
County's representatives in the State
Legislature to exert every possible eff
fort to kill Senate Bill No. rs.
That bill, + introduced by Senator
Colgate, contemplates making it inn
operative upon store Keepers to take
out a license to sell patent medicines,
said license to cost $500, and to be-
obtained from the State Board of
Pharinacy
1t IS Understood that the druggists
are back of the~b and they claim
that the sale Of patent medicines hav
in ! high percentage of alcohol and
other substances and drugs, cannot
be pfoperlg regulated when the aver
age person can get such stuff in a
dry goods ior department store They
further contend that, such materials
should be sold only where tho State
Board of Pharmacy can regulate it
with its inspectors, or left to the
sound judgment of the drug store
keeper, who is not going to sell such
medicines to- one household by lie
wholesale. They trace many of the
household ills to the indiscr innate
use of such medicines.
The storekeepers contend that the
payment of a SO fee will not make
them any more competent to sell pat
ent medicines, and, therefore, they
object to it. Further, they say that
such a license is "untirely unneces-
sary and will greatly inconvenience
and produce hardship upon our citi-
zens, especially In the small towns
and rural districts of the State"
A committee hearing on the bill
win be held in Trenton on Feb. 20.
The resolution adopted yesterday
is as follows
RESOLVED, That this Association
express its most emphatic protest
against the passage of Senate Bill No.
g, introduces January 23, 1912, in the
Legislature of N. j., by Mr.. Colgate,
and referred to the committee on Pub
lie Health, entitled an act, etc.
In our opinion, it is entirely un-
necessary and will greatly inconven-
ience and produce. hardship upon our
citizens, especially in the small towns
and rural districts of the State.
AND FURTHER RESOLVED. That
a copy of this resolution be forwarded
to the Senator ana Assemblyman rep
resenting Gloucester County, and re-
quest them to use their untiring ef-
forts to prevent the passage of said
bill. Signed,
