Governor  Pattison  promptly  affixed  his  signature.  The  following  is  a  copy  of 
the  law  : 
AN  ACT 
To  repeal  section  eleven  of  an  act  entitled  "  An  act  to  regulate  the  practice  of 
pharmacy  and  sale  of  poisons,  and  to  prevent  adulterations  in  drugs  and 
medicinal  preparations  in  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,"  approved  the  twenty- 
fourth  day  of  May,  Anno  Domini  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  eighty- 
seven. 
Section  i.  Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the 
Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  in  General  Assembly  met,  and  it  is  hereby 
enacted  by  the  authority  of  the  same :  That  section  eleven  of  an  Act  entitled 
"An  act  to  regulate  the  practice  of  pharmacy  and  sale  of  poisons  and  to  pre- 
vent adulterations  in  drugs  and  medicinal  preparations  in  the  State  of  Penn- 
sylvania," approved  the  twenty-fourth  day  of  May,  Anno  Domini  one  thousand 
eight  hundred  and  eighty-seven,  which  reads  as  follows  : 
"  Any  graduate  of  an  accredited  medical  college,  who  has  had  not  less  than 
three  years'  continuous  practice  since  the  date  of  his  diploma,  and  who  is 
registered  as  a  practitioner  of  medicine  and  surgery  under  the  act  entitled  '  An 
act  to  provide  for  the  registration  of  all  practitioners  of  medicine  and  sur- 
gery,' approved  the  eighth  day  of  June,  Anno  Domini  one  thousand  eight 
hundred  and  eighty-one,  may  be  registered  under  this  act  without  examination 
and  be  granted  a  certificate  which  shall  entitle  him  to  conduct  and  carry  on 
the  retail  drug  or  apothecary  business  as  proprietor  or  manager  thereof,  subject 
to  fees  provided  in  sections  three  and  four  of  this  act,"  be  and  the  same  is 
hereby  repealed. 
The  Kansas  School  of  Pharmacy  has,  since  its  establishment,  been  housed 
in  the  Chemistry  Building  of  the  State  University,-  where  it  was  insufficiently 
provided  with  room.  When  the  last  Legislature  met,  evidence  was  submitted 
showing  the  inadequate  facilities  for  good  work,  and  requests  for  a  new  build- 
ing were  made  by  the  faculty  of  the  school  and  by  the  druggists  of  the  State. 
A  bill  was  introduced  into  the  House,  appropriating  $20,000  for  an  addition  to  the 
building  in  which  the  school  is  now  located;  it  passed  the  House  with  but  little 
trouble,  but  when  it  reached  the  Senate  the  measure  was  promptly  defeated, 
and  thus  the  school  continues  to  be  crippled  in  its  work,  through  a  mistaken 
sense  of  economy  on  the  part  of  the  law-makers.  The  money  granted  to  such 
an  institution  should  not  be  regarded  a  gift,  but  properly  used  is  a  loan,  that  will 
be  amply  repaid  and  with  interest  by  increasing  the  efficiency  of  pharmacists, 
whose  standard  of  qualification  cannot  be  raised  too  high,  in  view  of  the 
important  relations  to  the  public.
