granting a similar licence for the sale of pure spirit of wine, one of the great 
obstacles being the non-registration of all chemists and druggists. Should the

be removed. 
The Merchant Shipping Act, or rather that portion of it which seems to apply 
to us, is intended principally to ensure the quality of “lime or lemon juice” 
supplied for the use of seamen. “ Medicines and medical stores” are also men¬ 
tioned, and any person supplying them of bad quality will be liable to a penalty 
There can be no objection to such a provision, and from undoubted evidence wc 
have heard of the sophistication of quinine aud other important drugs, we can¬ 
not deny the necessity for interference. According to the clauses in the Bill as 
first introduced, and passed by the House of Lords, the restrictions on the sale 
of medicines for ship use would have been irksome and unjust, but those clauses 
were removed as the Bill passed through the Commons.
