DOCTORS' PRESCRIPTIONS.
\ ♦ — : ■ ; [From Our Correspondent.] , DUNEDIN, May 31. In proposing the toast of " The Medical Association " at the annual dinner of the Otago Pharmaceutical Association Dr Brown said he thought it right and necessary to refer io some telegrams which had appeared in the local papers a few day* ago from Christchurch in reference to the alleged practice there of some medical men receiving percentages or commissions from chemists who made up their prescriptions. He did not know what was done elsewhere, but as President of that Association, with the consent of the committee, he had made prompt inquiries by circular to the chemists of Dunedin aJndt the suburbs, and got their prompt replies. Nearly all of the replies -were of the same tenor, stating in the first place that the writers would consider it an insult to suggest such a tiling as a commission to any medical maflrpractising here, and that their belief was "that if such sug- j gestions were made they would be treated j with absolute rejection and «corn.
