THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST OF AUSTRALASIA. 
name of the article or manufacturer, so that when supplied 
they form really elegant ornaments. The time of depres- 
sion we have been passing through has reduced the sale of 
these goods to some extent, but it is evidently again improv- 
ing considerably, and the reason for the decline has 
obviously been not that the articles have lost favour, but 
that the public had to put up with something less choice 
than in better times. For Seabury & Johnson a large 
line of samples is exhibited, covering every grade, form, and 
shape of plaster, which are too well known to need any special 
comment. The B.W.B. elastic-woven bandage, in which 
rubber is combined with a light fabric of some kind, seems to 
to be a very valuable appliance. The elasticity and compres- 
sive powers of the bandage are really remarkable. Ilobins’ 
patent linseed poultices of different sizes are another line that 
seem admirably adapted for their especial purpose. All the 
mucilaginous properties are retained, and tliose constituents 
which lead to rancidity have been removed. The effective 
part is spread on fabric of a certain thickness, and can be 
quickly made ready for use by dipping in boiling water. 
The heat is retained for a long time, and the fact that they 
are always ready for use without any trouble in preparation 
is greatly in their favour. The Sanitas Co. Ltd. shows a 
series of Sanitas and other disinfectants, covering almost 
every possible requirement for domestic and public purpose. 
Peroxide of hydrogen is preserved by a special patent, which 
enables it to be exported to these colonies without risk 
of losing its strength. Several interesting and useful forms 
of advertising are provided for Sanitas, one of them 
being a very neat pocket book in leather, which is certain 
to be preserved for many months, until it is quite tilled up. 
Mr. Mason represents also H. E. StevenSOn & Co., suc- 
cessors to the export drug business, Fletcher, Fletcher and 
Stevenson. Special offers are made of delivery free to the 
port nearest the final destination for orders for drugs exceed- 
ing a certain amount. 
Mf. J, D. Connellan has advised friends in Australia 
that he has been unexpectedly detained in England, and his 
departure for Australia has been postponed for some time 
yet. 
WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND THE CHEMISTS 
OUTSIDE. 
Already the Pharmaceutical Council of Western Australia 
has found it desirable to modify its regulations for admitting 
to registration chemists from Great Britain and from the 
other colonies. On August 2-1 an amendment of the special 
clause of the regulations was resolved upon by the Pharma- 
ceutical Council, and on September G it was gazetted with 
the approval of the Governor-in-Council. It provides that 
the diploma of competency as chemist of the Pharmaceutical 
Society of Great Britain will be recognised; also the diploma 
of any Australasian Pharmaceutical Board or Society estab- 
lished by Act of Parliament, always provided that such 
diploma has been obtained by the passing of the major 
examination of the colony. It will be seen that this new 
regulation, while opening the way to a large proportion of 
the chemists already established in Australia and to most 
of the younger men, blocks those who have been registered 
in any colony as having been in business before the passing 
of the Act. The position is not altogether logical, for many 
on the British register are in this position, and the new 
provision discriminates in favour of the British chemist 
almost as much as the Pharmacy Acts of other colonies, 
which provide for the registration without examination of 
British chemists only, and not for those with colonial 
qualification. 
Anti-Toxin seems to be a failure in Hobart, and we are 
hearing very little about it. Three children who have been 
treated in the hospital and in private practice died after its 
use, and one patient since then has died in the General 
Hospital of diphtheria, and anti-toxin was not used, which 
goes to show that the medical men have lost faith in it. A 
little while ago it was all the rage, and every young medico 
(and some of the older ones) were eager to try it upon every 
suspicious throat they came across. As with Koch’s dis- 
covery, so perhaps with anti-toxin, it will prove not quite up 
to expectations.
