PATENT MEDICINES.
(Per- Press Association.) Wellington, last night. Sir Joseph Ward, interviewed by a Post reporter, stated that the Government had no intention of harassing patent medisine Jm proprietors. He added: "I have deeid'c(t*\J to amend the regulations in the direction V of removing the mandatory clause calling for the depositing of formulae. It will be necessary for the makers to deposit their formulae only when called upon by the Minister of Pnblio Health to do so. By this alteration power will be retained * wherewith to control snch medicines as are, after careful consideration, deemed bad and injurious. On tho other hand, no maker or seller of bona fide, honest,or even a useless drug need have the eligbtost foa? of interference.” .
