SALE OF HOT WATER BAGS
P.A. DUNEDIN, this day. In ai statement this morning the president of the Chemists' Service Guild complained that several stores in the city were selling hot water bags indiscriminately to anyone this week. Chemists had honoured the Health Department's request that bags be sold only to necessitous cases despite the Government's revocation of the regulation requiring a medical prescription. The number of bags available to chemists from a wholesale firm this week was 200 for 75 shops, or about three per shop, and many necessitous cases, such as maternity and paralysis, were unable to procure them because of the haphazard and unfair method of allocation to sellers.
