“ Medical Department of the Privy Ciu icil Office, 
“January 17th, 1871. 
“ Sir,—I am directed by the Lords of Her Majesty’s 
Council to acknowledge the receipt cf your letter of the 
20th ult., enclosing a copy of some Regulations agreed 
to by the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society, and 
proposed to be submitted to the next Annual Meeting of 
the Society. 
“ My Lords, in'eonsidering the regulations in regard to 
the keeping of poisons, direct me to say that they are of 
opinion that some regulations as to the sale and dispensing 
of poisons are absolutely necessary for the public safety, 
and they therefore hope that your Society will, with the 
least possible delay, frame regulations on that subject, 
so that their Lordships may be able to give their con¬ 
sent to a complete body of regulations (such as the 
statute contemplates) in regard to the keeping, selling 
and dispensing of poisons.
