EDITORIAL. 



As many of our readers are directly interested in an ordinance, 

 relative to the sale, at retail, of morphine and its salts, either alone 

 or in combination with other substances, recently enacted by the 

 New York City Board of Health, we deem it our duty to call at- 

 tention to the ordinance at this time. The full text of the notice 

 issued by the Board of Health, is as follows : 



At a meeting of the Board of Health of the Department of 

 Health of the City of New York, held August 26th, iqio, the fol- 

 lowing resolution was adopted : 



RESOLVED, That Section one hundred and eighty-two of the 

 Sanitary Code of the Board of Health of the City of New York be 

 and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows : 



Sec. 182. No cocaine or salt of cocaine and no morphine or salt 

 of morphine, either alone or in combination with other substances, 

 shall be sold at retail by any person in the City of New York, ex- 

 cept upon the prescription of a physician. 



(Signed) EUGENE W. SCHEFFER, 



Secretary.
