ESTABLISHED A.D. 1841.
The Hongkong Sanitary Board has taken up the question of regulating the sale of poisonous drugs. Hitherto there has been no restriction; any-
body could buy or sell drugs of any sort in any quantity, and there has not even been any regulation or law for the registering or licensing of chemists and | druggists in the Colony. In the European dispensaries there are chemists with the very best qualifications; but there is nothing to prevent a carpenter or coal- heaver from setting up in the drug business In Hongkong, and as a matter of fact there are Asiaties of the most ignorant type selling drugs to the public. And there will be, In spite of all regulations.
