[Copy.] 
“ Medical Department of the Privy Council Office, 
“23 rd December, 1870. 
“ Sir,—I am directed by my Lords of her Majesty’s 
Council to request that you will call the attention of 
your Council to the power which is, by the Pharmacy 
Act, 1868, given to the Pharmaceutical Society to make, 
with the consent of the Privy Council, regulations as to 
the keeping, dispensing, and selling of poisons. 
“ My Lords believe it to have been the opinion of Par¬ 
liament that proper regulations in this matter are re¬ 
quired for the protection of the public, and, as more than 
two years have elapsed since the passing of the Act 
without the Pharmaceutical Society having proposed 
any such regulations, my Lords think it right to inquire 
whether the Pharmaceutical Society intends, within any 
time you can specify, to propose such regulations to 
their Lordships. They direct me, therefore, to request 
that you will have the goodness to give me, at your 
earliest convenience, the information required by their 
Lordships. 
“ I am, Sir, 
“ Your obedient servant, 
“ John Simon. 
“ The Registrar, Pharmaceutical Society .” 
Resolved—That the letter from the Medical Officer of 
the Privy Council, addressed to the Registrar re¬ 
specting the storing of poisons, be received and 
entered on the Minutes, with the Registrar’s reply 
thereto.
