Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of Pharmacy, Vol. 29: A Live Magazine for Druggists; April, 1915
But to get back. Some of the governmental responses to calls fo r enlightenment make interesting reading, and many of them are highly important. We are told, for in stance, that no one but a proprietor of a regis tered store may sign orders for narcotics. The proprietor may sign up orders in advance, though, and these may be used by a clerk dur ing his absence. If a physician orders 300 pills to be made up by a druggist, and the pills come within the scope of the law, an order form must be used, not a prescription blank. If a doctor should write a prescription for 2 grains of opium, grain of morphine, grain of heroin, and 1 grain of codeine to the ounce (if he should!) such a mixture would come within the scope of the law, for the aggregate of opium compounds carries the somewhat potent preparation over the line.
