All liquors must be kept in the same room BULLETIN OF PHARMACY in which the business is transacted-in which the druggist's certificate of registration is displayed. Extra stock cannot be stored in a back room or in the basement. Wines for sacramental purposes must be sold to clergymen ; deacons, even, cannot get them. They mean business in Seattle, State of Washington! Foreign countries, LIQUOR IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON. We are reproducing in another part of the BULLETIN two photographs depicting the havoc wrought by special policemen in drug stores in Seattle when it had been established to the satisfaction of headquarters that the selling of booze was one of the chief occupations. The State of Washington has been dry nearly a year, and stores of a certain class have not only cast a shadow of disrepute on the decent ones, but have been the means of making it necessary for the Seattle local authorities to put into force a number of rigid regulations. Liquor prescriptions must be kept on a separate file, must be numbered serially, and must be held subject to inspection by the proper officers at any time. The man getting the liquor must write his signature in a book, whether the liquor is for him personally or for the use of some one else. THE QUANTITY NOT LIMITED. Suppose you got a prescription calling for 6 pounds of opium, what would you do with it? A druggist in Great Falls, Montana, filled such a prescription. The doctor who wrote it was haled into court, and Judge Geo. M. Borquin, of the Federal Court, District of Montana, held that there is nothing in the Harrison law which prohibits a doctor from prescribing the drug in any quantity. The judge holds that when a legislative power undertakes to create an offense, it must do so in clear and definite language-thereby taking a backhanded whack at a certain Treasury decision which essays to supply definiteness and clearness to the point at issue. The decision also defines the word "dispense," holding it to mean "to deliver to another." The druggist who filled the prescription is under indictment, and a nice little point of law is involved. Is it unlawful to put up a prescription which it is lawful to write? The druggist's case has not yet been called. the chemical and allied fields; and that those interested are fully alive to the significance of the situation was almost dramatically shown by their eagerness to get together, discuss conditions, pledge coöperation, and formulate plans for the future. Nearly 2000 delegates registered at the Chemists' Club, general headquarters for the chemists, during the first day. Many men of national prominence participated, among the numbers on the programme appearing three names well known to the drug trade-Dr. Otto Raubenheimer, Dr. Harry Vin Arny, and Dr. Lyman F. Kebler, chief of the drug laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture. The 1917 meeting of the American Chemical Society will be held in Boston, early in September. and was with one of the first parties that discovered gold in Alaska. In 1885 he became identified with the Mansfield Drug Co., Memphis, as head of the order department. When the Mansfield Company and the Van Vleet Company were consolidated he was made assistant manager, and later became manager. Mr. Tague was active in the counsels of the Second Methodist Episcopal Church, and has served as president of the Southern Drug Club. He was a director in the Cotton States Merchants' Association, the Memphis Freight Bureau, and of a Memphis bank. VOLUNTARY DISSOLUTION. The beneficiaries named in the will of the late Charles N. Crittenton have brought about a dissolution of one of the best known wholesale drug houses in the United Statesthe Charles N. Crittenton Co.

The founder's five grandchildren, together with the Florence Crittenton Home, are the beneficiaries named in the will, and jointly they hold 60 per cent of the stock-it is the wish of all of these, it is stated, that the business be converted into cash. In all probability entire liquidation will not be effected until next spring. Prior to dissolution, the officers of the company were: Thos. E. Delano, president and treasurer; Franklin B. Waterman, secretary; and Wm. A. Demarest and Albert Marsh, vice-presidents. THE CHICAGO DRUG SHOW. The Chicago Retail Druggists' Association has set December 2 to 10, inclusive, as the time for the staging of what is to be termed a Drug, Chemical and Allied Trades Exposition. According to the C. R. D. A. News, this is to be the first affair of this kind ever fostered by a local retail druggists' association, and in a general way the exposition is to be modeled along the lines pursued in shaping up shows seen at N. A. R. D. annual conventions. Ample room is to be provided in the Coliseum, and manufacturers, societies and schools of pharmacy have been asked to take space and make known their offerings. |
