RECOMMENDATIONS. 



The Board again recommends to the State Association an 

 amendment to the Pharmacy Law restricting the sale of Opium 

 and its preparations upon physicians' prescriptions only, except 

 Paregoric and such others as contain less than two (2) grains of 

 Opium to the ounce. 



Also legislation prohibiting the sale or dispensing of pills or 

 tablets containing Strychnine or its salts not in combination with 

 other medicinal substances with any coating other than plain 

 gelatin. 



In view of the increasing number of deaths from the use of 

 Phenol and Mercurial Chloride, we further recommend that legis- 

 lation be enacted prohibiting their sale except upon physicians' 

 prescriptions, except that the former may be sold in solution not 

 stronger than 5%, and placing it in schedule "B" of section 241 of 

 the Pharmacy Law. 



The Committee on Legislation, through its Chairman, Mr. John 

 Roemer, presented its report on occasion of the second session. 

 The report covered the activities of the Committee during the 

 legislative session of 1912-13. The Committee regretted that it 

 had not been successful in obtaining all legislation sanctioned by 

 the State Association. On the other hand it had successfully 

 fought a number of measures inimical to the best interests of 

 pharmacy, and prevented them from being enacted into law. 



Professor George C. Diekman, Chairman of the Committee of 

 the State Association on Pharmacopoeial Revision, presented the 

 report of this Committee. The report was read by Secretary 

 Dawson, and upon motion was received with thanks.
