rious use  of  the  same,  which  bill  is  so  broad  in  its  provisions  as  to  include  all 
harmless  remedies  for  domestic  practice  containing  these  drugs  ;  therefore, 
it  is 
Resolved,  That  we,  the  Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Druggists,  do 
hereby  place  on  record  our  unqualified  approval  of  any  practical  plan  for  the 
accomplishment  of  the  purpose  for  which  Senate  Bill  No.  118  is  designed,  yet 
we  do  respectfully  protest  against  it  as  at  present  constructed,  as  being  too 
sweeping  in  its  restrictions,  inasmuch  as  it  would  prevent  the  sale  of  harmless 
domestic  remedies  which  are  in  proper  public  use  all  over  the  civilized  world, 
and  recognized  by  all  nations  having  a  pharmacopoeia  or  other  accepted  stand- 
ard formulae. 
Resolved,  Further,  that  inasmuch  as  the  Legislative  Committee  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Pharmaceutical  Association  is  engaged  in  preparation  of  a  bill  for  sub- 
mission to  the  General  Assembly  regulating  the  sale  of  narcotic  and  other 
poisons,  which  bill  will  be  ready  for  presentation  to  your  honorable  body 
shortly,  we  do  respectfully  ask  your  indulgence  and  pray  that  action  on  the 
pending  bill  may  be  suspended  and  a  hearing  vouchsafed  by  your  honorable 
body  to  the  said  Committee  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
with  proper  consideration  of  the  bill  proposed  by  them. 
And  we  will  ever  pray,  etc. 
Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Druggists.
