A COLLEGE FORU M. 



Oftim-es when visited by some of our 

 graduates we hear suggestions about 

 changes that they think would be ad- 

 vantageous to the College. We hope 

 that these fri-ends will write us their 

 ideas and thoughts so that they may re- 

 ceive the proper publicity. It will ever 

 be the policy of the Journal to be 

 the medium for exchange of any ideas 

 that our readers believe might prove of 

 value to the College. Make the 

 Journal a real forum. Send us your 

 ideas. Let us print them. Give others a 

 chance to consider and discuss them.

 ing T. D. 2213 and the Interpretation of 

 Section 6 of the Harrison Antinarcotic 

 Law" on behalf of the National Drug 

 Trade Conference (A^. A. R. D. Journal, 

 21-161, p. 748) discusses the question in 

 great detail and concludes with an 

 eloquent and very logical appeal to the 

 department for a revision of T. D. 2213. 



At the present time, judging by our 

 queries, much doubt se-ems to exist 

 among pharmacists as to just how they 

 are to proceed so as to comply with the 

 law. 



T. D. 2213 as we understand it, was 

 issued supplementary to T. D. 2172 

 which refers to Section 6 of the law. 

 A subtle distinction is made between 

 "preparations," "remedies," and "pre- 

 scriptions," which is the cause of the
