These herbs are sold by herbalists and could therefore be procured at any herbalists. And would be easily obtained.

Apparently, the sale of the two above-mentioned herbs would be difficult to restrict by law, as the sale could be easily evaded and soon become inoperative.

Therefore, I do not think it desirable to introduce any Ordinance on the subject.
