POINTS OF ASSISTANCE. nf ^®ce ^as issued a third edition of its memorandum on the duties JJ.01and dentists m respect of the Dangerous Drugs Acts and Regula- fV- Unquestionably the law is complicated and increases the cares of the practitioner, but the Home Office has reasonably met the interests of the liofessmn m the matter of the Reference Tribunal and the machinery for withdrawing a practitioner s authority under the Acts.—L. h/29,933. i + Orders',’ ’ in Wholesale Dealings re Part I. Poisons. The intention of the alteration of Section 17 of the Pharmacy Act 1868 is to le/^Sli18116^ 0rclers from aU Persons except retail chemists.—C. D.*, June Wholesale dealing in Dangerous Drugs cannot be conducted without licences. A letail pharmacist can supply the drugs against ‘ signed orders,’ but a phar- niacist doing a wholesale and retail trade must apply for licences in respect of the wholesale side of his business. The licences run to about £13 p a with 2s. 6d. each for every licence for export. ^ Points fic&ijte to he Forgotten in practice are:— All the drugs covered by the Acts are 12] Poisons. Dentists' and veterinary surgeons' (not doctors’) prescriptions must have the amount of the drug stated on the label. N.H.I. prescriptions need not have doctor’s address ; must not be repeated : must be kept as hitherto and sent to Pricing Bureau. P Typewritten prescriptions are accepted as ‘ written.* The inclusion of the words “ to attempt ” to obtain the drugs is to deal with a person who tries to obtain through misrepresentation, even though the chemist discovers the fraud before parting with them. 81 Doctors may WTite prescriptions for themselves. Telephone orders from medical practitioners may be executed, but the written order must follow within 24 hours. luu Nursing Homes are not authorised persons. BookWl'C AnalydS and Teachers requiring the drugs must sign the Poisons Persons in charge of a laboratory must prove that the Institution to which it is attached has been approved by the Home Office for Dangerous Drugs Act purposes.—Malhnson. A foreign medical practitioner, unless registered in England (see Medical and Dental Register) is not a medical practitioner under the Act, cf. L. H./29 When in doubt—refuse to dispense, if the doctor is not known. J he chemist is not legally bound to supply anything.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31361985_0001_1060.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
