The opinion was expressed by a witness in the chemists assistants' dispute at the Arbitration Court this morning that the examination of the Pharmacy Board was made so severe by those responsible as to make the profession practically n close corporation. He stated that in the Auckland district there were about, seventy chemists' shops, at which some 120 assistants were employed. Of these assistants only from six to ten would be fully qualified. In a great many cases, witness stated, unregistered assistants prescribed in the same way as a doctor, people preferring to go to a chemist instead of a doctor. In reply lo a remark from his Honor that this seemed an exceedinciy foolish thing to do, the witness stated many of the unregistered assistants were quite as well qualified to prescribe as a registered assistant, and that in some instances they had had from eighteen to twenty years' experience.
