The  proposed  New  Jersey  Law  is  mainly  that  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association  reported  in  September  last,  with  certain  modifi- 
cations, rendered  necessary  by  the  circumstances  of  New  Jersey.  It 
embraces  registration,  the  sale  of  poisons  and  the  adnlieration  of  drngs.

the  members  in  regard  to  the  law,  some  changes  may  occur,  and  then  it 
will  probably  be  offered  for  Legislative  action.
