Substitution In Prescriptions.

Substitution In Prescriptions.
In sentencing druggist to
the penitentiary for departing
from the written instructions
OF the physician in filling q pre-
scription the justices of the
Court Of Special Sessions in
Brooklyn have set an example
which other judges should fol.
low in dealing with cases Of q
similar character. Tampering
with prescriptions is all too
common, and it is time that
druggists who are interruptions
enough to stoop to the practice
were given to understand that
the courts will show no mercy
to those found guilty of it.
BY substituting a cheaper in
gredient for one Of those called
for in the formula the offend
ing druggist in the present in
stance neutralized the benefit
of the entire prescription. Cases
have been known where the
changing Of prescriptions has
resulted in serious injury to
health, and even in death, and
therefore druggists should be
held to a strict accountability
whenever they fail to follow
the physician 8 instructions.
The customer who presents q
prescription for filling has to
rely upon the honesty of the
druggist. He has no means of
knowing whether or not the
proper ingredients are used.
The druggist who violates the
confidence thus placed in him
IL a menace to the community.
The State Board of Pharmacy
should pursue a ceaseless cam
palgn against this class Of upde-
s,rables until the last one of
them has been exposed and
driven out of business.

The near future may show wheth- CT the Russians arc either able to, or even intend to, reduce the fortress of EracoW, in Galicia, or whether their plain is to mask it. Dispatches from Budapest state that the governor of CraCOW has ordered the partial cvac- nation of the city and it's surburbs by " omen, children and men unfit for military service. They have been given forty eight hours to leave. The men over military age, but who arc still active, have been formed into a civic guard. The banks have been transferred to Vienna. Provisions of all kinds, it is stated, are scare in CracoW. The old ecclesiastical capi- tai of Poland stands in a hilly coun- try on the upper reaches of the Wis tula. where the river is no longer a mountain torrent, but it is hardly a military obstacle. The old town grew up to the north of a sort of rock or acropois on which still stands the

magnificent castle and cathedral where lie many great Polish kings and patriots. Round this old mediae- val town there has arisen ring Of modern buildings, and cracow, as a whole is now a district Of over two miles every way. Cracow lies in a tumbled country of hills some 200 to 300 feet above the valley level, rising gradually in the south toward tho Carpathians which are close at hand, and in the north continuing the brok- en country up to and beyond the Russian frontier (which is but eight miles away from the heart of the city) The ring of great forts round Cracow was traced quite close to the town, much closer, for instance, than the corresponding ring at Liege. The most distant is only 5000 yards from the castle hill, the nearest is only just over 2,000 and the fortified area as whole, is at its greatest diameter only just five miles across and at it's least not much more than three.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

 The picture committee as appointed,
 was Raymond Goodale, chairman
 Philip Pagan, Rose Fox and Edith

 Warren r. Sheldon, president of the Wesleyan Alumni association, spoke to the debating club on enter ing the Wesleyan Interscholastic De- batting league. A triangular league is favored to a quadrangular league. It is thought that teams from the Mid dletown, Meriden and New Britain High schools would form a very strong league, but a league composed of Hartford, Waterbury and New Britain would make a stronger com bination, as the rivalry is closer. The club will decide in a few days which league they would prefer to join.
 Next week the resolution which will come before the debating club will be that a high protective tariff is more beneficial to the country than a low revenue. The affirmative side of the question will be upheld by Iver Axelson and David Nair and Edward Ginsburg and Edward Mag will speak for the negative.
 The basketball teams, first and sec ond, will leave for South Manchester at 6:02 this evening, where they will meet the first and second teams of the South Manchester High school re- spectively.
