POISON FOR ALT.. SYDNEY. April f. A Sydney chemist was heavily lined last week for having sold cocaine retail, without the word "poison" being printed conspicuously on the wrapper, together with the name of the article and the name and the address ot the seller. The ease served to make publicly known the facts that there is a certain amount of traffic in narcotics in Sydney, and that the State Government has lagged woefully behind in the matter of dealing with the sale of drugs and poisons. During the hearing of the ease it was pointed out by the registrar of the Pharmacy Board that the Versailles Conference considered the selling of potent drugs such a serious matter that it was made obligatory for all the signatories to the treaty, including the Commonwealth, to control the sale and use of narcotics. Unfortunately, ho added, the New South Wales Cabinet had not done this.
An ideal spirit for both seses.— WOLFE’S SCHVAPPf .
