THE PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL AND TRANSACTIONS. 
[May 11,1872 
with the result of the inquiry either in the shape of 
a verdict or magisterial opinion. In this column, in 
italics, will also be found references to several cases 
in which officials [have censured the conduct of 
druggists in the sale of poisons, such censure having 
'been itself founded upon an erroneous reading of the 
Pharmacy Act. As this portion of the question is 
now under the consideration of the Council, with R 
view to supply officials with more correct infor¬ 
mation respecting the Act, these cases will not be 
without interest. 
In placing this table before the readers of this 
Journal, it is satisfactory to point out the small 
number of cases in which accidental poisoning was 
palpably due to ignorance or negligence on the part 
of druggists—much more frequently it is to the mis¬ 
use of drugs or medicines by those who have pur¬ 
chased them that disastrous consequences are to be 
attributed. Again, it is satisfactory to observe so 
few instances of actual disregard of the provisions 
of the Pharmacy Act in respect to poisons, and to 
note that during a period extending back to within a 
few months after the Act came into operation, there 
has been an entire absence of any case in which 
poisoning has been the consequence of mistakes 
due to defective storage of poisons on the part of 
druggists.
