Defends Druggists Against
Charge by Surgeon General.


To the Editor Of The Star:
I read with great interest the article
in This Week" under the title "Sul-
fanllamide" by the Surgeon General,
Thomas Parran, in which he set forth
many splendid points on the proper use
and the misuse of this drug. However.
being a pharmacist, I greatly resent the
assertion that the great harm done by
this drug was due to the promiscuous
sale Of this preparation over the counter
by druggists.
It is true that we have "quacks" in
pharmacy as well as in the medical pro-
fession, who will stoop so low as to en-
danger the health of an individual
for the sake of a few pennies. do
believe, however, that the greatest harm,
whether from sulfanilamide, or other
dangerous drugs, is due to the failure
on the part of medical schools to give
their students, the future doctors,
proper foundation in "materia medica."
In most medical colleges, as the Sur
geon General must know. "materia med
lea" is greatly neglected. How can q
physician properly prescribe for patient
when he has had only from three to six
weeks of his entire medical training In
a subject that is used in 10 per cent Of
his practice?
I do not wish to dispute the Surgeon
Generals statement that 1877 tons of sul-
fanilamide were consumed by the pub
lie last year, but of this, dare say.
that if the prescription files of the drug
stores in the United States were in
spected, it would be found that the
largest percentage was either prescribed,
used or ordered by physicians.
I should also like to clear the record
in regard to the incident which the
Surgeon General cited concerning the
deaths caused by the elixir OF sui
fanilamide" According to the records
of the Department of Agriculture, this
preparation was not sold promiscuously
by pharmacists, but was prepared by
a medical doctor and dispensed by dis
pensing physicians" Only In four or
five cases was the preparation obtained
from a drug store and in each case this
was done under doctors orders.
agree with the Surgeon General that
more stringent laws are essential for
the protection Of the public health. Laws
must be enacted restricting the handling
of drugs to those qualified to do so. The
prescribing pharmacist" and the dis
pensing physician" must be abolished.
The sale Of foods, liquors and hardware
in drug stores should also be done away
with, to enable the pharmacist to give
his entire time to his professional SER
vices. Medical schools and colleges
should be forced to give adequate train
ing in "materia medica" Dangerous
drugs should only be sold on doctors
prescription. It is my belief, however.
that these laws in order to be completely
effective should be State-enacted or To-
Called, rather than national, In scope.

by New England. and particularly Massa-
chusetts, in the War Of the Revolution
and in subsequent troubles during the
first decades of the last century. There
is. unfortunately for him, Just one thing
wrong with each and every one Of his
arguments and that is that no matter
how loftily and emphatically expressed,
it comes squarely up against the fact
that the ancient frigate was built by the
United States, belongs to the United
States, always has done so and always
will do so. She was, of course, built in
Massachusetts, and reconstructed in
Massachusetts,. Residents of the Bay
State are naturally proud of the fact.
Naturally they would like to keep her
there. But they should not, and in
their hearts they know it. Should
Pennsylvania have the Declaration of
Independence because 1t was adopted
in that State? A representative collec-
ton Of famed naval relics with the most
famous ship omitted because, forsooth,
the residents Of one out Of forty-eight
States wish to keep her in one of their
harbors, is unthinkable. It Is freely ad-
mitted that Massachusetts is older than
the District Of Columbia, and Boston
than Washington. But this city hap
pens to be the Capital of the country
and here is where its ship loving Presi-
dent plans to install the collection. AZ
ter not a little pointing with PRIDE"
your correspondent remarks that it is
brag. have noted another commend
able Yankee trait, which is a strong dis
inclination to keep property which does
not belong to them, no matter how much
they might like to have it. My opinion
is that when the Constitution Is brought
here, as she ought to be and as she will
be in the end, the right sort Of New
Englanders will be better pleased with
themselves ANOTHER YANKEE.

Pays Tribute to
Carter Glass.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The opinion expressed by the grand
old man Of Virginia in Mondays Eve
ming Star must have given every red
blooded American real thrill.
His courageous remarks were such .
refreshing contrast to the cowardly
speeches Of the pacifist members Of Con-
gress who would have Uncle Sam grovel
in the dust before the "Maoman Of
Berlin"
While some Americans may not want
to see US join in fighting the two afro
cious assassins, Hitler and Stain, I do
not believe that many approve Of the
disgraceful "peace-at-any-price" speech
es of the pacifist friends Of Hitler and
Stain.
We should all be proud Of Senator
Carter Glass and all other statesmen
who believe that the stars and stripes
should be respected all over the world.

am writing to commend your paper
for the excellent job it has done in re-
vealing the extraordinarily inequitable
conditions that have prevailed in the

It seems incredible that such condi-

fortunes Of the most distressed element

We saw the pilot was in trouble anc

of the motors was sputtering, ther
the engines stopped and the plan'
tipped to the right in an attemp
to avoid the wires. The tip of thu
wing hit the wires, and the plane
crashed with a roar, Immediately ex.

Another observer said the pilo

Embassy officials still could not

Confusion between the sailing list

names of known survivors may be

the refugees went on. Most of the
injured already have been removed
