A DANGEROUS DRUG.
VETERINARY SURGEON FINED. GISBORNE, August 6. In the Police Court this morning Frederick Valentine, veterinary practitioner, was fined £5 on a charge of giving a prescription for a dangerous drug—tincture of opium—for purposes oth’r than animal treatment, and was convicted and discharged on a further similar charge. Mr Harper, S.M., dismissed a charge of failing to keep a proper register of all transactions in relation to the disposal of the drug, pointing out that there was a doubt as to whether the accused dispensed the drug from his own premises. The evidence showed that the accused had used 72 ounces of tincture of opium in the form of fomentations for treatment of trouble with his knee.
