ALBANY, Feb A.--The Senate code =
Committee gave a hearing to-day on the
bill of Senator George A. Blauvelt Of
Rockland county which is designed to pre-
vent the sale OF bichloride of mercury tab
lets except on physicians prescription.
DR.. Henry Gallant OF New York predicted
that the manufacture OF the tablets will
soon be prohibited by law.
When / was young surgeons used the
bichloride of mercury solution in a 1 to
1000 ratio" said Dr. Gallant. Now IL
Is being used In Il to $4,000 ratio. and I
believe that the time soon viii come when
surgeons no longer will use the poison for
an antiseptic"
Mcdonald De wit: of New York. who
led the fight for the bill. said that there
had been seventy-eight deaths in the past
eight months from blchloride Of mercury
poisoning and that only thirty-five of
these were suicides. The remainder, ne
said, took the poison by mistake. twenty
TWO OF them thinking they were taking
headache tablets. a dangerous feature
or the drug is that any person can go to
a drug store and get enough for 10 cents
to XIII whole family. he declared.
Others who supported the bill were Drs
Sarnon. Papst Fitch and Gluck of New
York city.
Wholesale druggists opposed the bill be-
cause they claimed that under II the dis

niDited 1t Is believed this objection will
De met by an amendment.
