SALE OF POISONS.
EXISTING LAW "WORTHLESS."
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
NAPIER, Tuesday.
The fact that restrictions are placed on the sale of poisons by chemists, whereas grocers and other retailers are not bound by such restrictions, was commented upon by delegates to the conference of the Pharmaceutical Society to-day, when the following remit, submitted by the Wellington division, was carried:—
"That this conference deplores the many weaknesses of the Poisons Act, recognising that it is completely out of date and practically worthless; and urges the Minister of Health to down new legislation this session in the public interest, so that the Dominion may no longer lag behind other countries in this important matter."
