STRYCHNINE BOTTLES
A SAFEGUARD RELAXED (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Apl. 30.
Regulations which were gazetted tonight under the Poisons Act enable the Minister of Health, on the request of the Minister of Agriculture, to authorise in writing the storing or selling of strychnine not packed in the regulation fluted bottles, provided the strychnine is subsequently sold or used for the poisoning of rabbits. The Minister of Health, Mr A. H. Nordmeyer. explained that flutings were normally regarded as very necessary on poison bottles, but recently, after considerable delay, a shipment .of strychnine, which was urgently required for poisoning rabbits, had arrived. This strychnine was not packedin the usual way. and it had proved impossible to find sufficient fluted bottles into which to repack it. Accordingly, this one safeguard was being relaxed, but only within the narrowest limits. .
