Notice (amended) to Chemists and others respecting Prepa ration known as “Rough on Rats.”
Colonial Secretary’s Office, Wellington, 24th August, 1885. THE attention of all persons who sell, or keep open shops for retailing, dispensing, or compounding, poisons is called to the fact that the preparation commonly known as “ Rough on Rats ” contains arsenic, or consists of coloured or prepared arsenic, and is therefore a poison within the terms of Part 1 of the First Schedule to “ The Sale of Poisons Act, 1871.” Attention is also called to the provisions of section 12 of that Act, which prescribes the regulations to be observed in the sale of poisons, as there is reason to believe that these regulations are not always strictly carried out as respects the poison above referred to. This notice is substituted for that gazetted on the 6th instant relating to the same subject. P. A. BUCKLEY.
