Poisons and Pharmacy Act, 1908. The Journal of the Board 

 of Agriculture, vol. XVI, n. 2, pp. 146-149. London, May, 1909. 



The attention of sellers of insecticides, fungicides, sheep dips, 

 and weed-killers, which are poisonous by reason of their containing 

 arsenic, tobacco, or the alkaloids of tobacco, is drawn to the pro- 

 visions of the Poisons and Pharmacy Act, 1908 (8 Edw. 7, c. 55), 

 with respect to the sale of such preparations by persons duly licen- 

 sed by the Local Authority: i. e. the council of any municipal 

 borough in England having a population of more than 10 ooo ac- 

 cording to the last published census for the time being, the town 

 council of any Royal parliamentary or police burgh in Scotland, 

 and, as respects any other place, the Council of the county. 



Provisions as to the Sale of Poisonous Substances to be used 

 exclusively in Agriculture or Horticulture. Section 2 of the new 

 Act provides that " so much of the Pharmacy Act, 1868, as makes 

 it an offence for any person to sell or keep open shop for the sale of 

 poisons, unless he is a duly registered pharmaceutical chemist or che- 

 mist and druggist, and conforms to regulations made under Section i 

 of that Act, shall not apply in the case of poisonous substances to 

 be used exclusively in agriculture or horticulture for the destruction 

 of insects, fungi, or bacteria, or as sheep dips or weed killers 

 which are poisonous by reason of their containing arsenic, tobacco, 

 or the alkaloids of tobacco, if the person so selling or keeping 

 open shop is duly licensed for the purpose under this section by 

 a local authority, and conforms to any regulations as to the keeping, 

 transporting, and selling of poisons made under this section," but 

 the section is not to exempt any person so licensed from the re- 

 quirements of any other provision of the Pharmacy Act, 1868, or 

 of the Arsenic Act, 1851, relating to poisons. 



Finally, the Regulations, dated the 2nd day, of April, 1909, are 

 reported.
