DRUGGISTS IN TOILS OF ANTI NARCOTIC LAW. Jacksonville, March 30.—Two lo- cal drug firms are in bad with the federal government because of seri- ous violations of the anti-narcotic act, according to the internal reve- nue collector’s office. Field Deputy Fronberger reported yestrday that he has discovered one druggist with prescriptions for as much as forty grains of morphine, on which he dispensing the drug in imstallments, and with nota- tions om the back of the prescription showing when each installment was given. The law specifically requires a separate written prescription for each dispensing of the drugs under the act, the same to be made out according to law and to be recorded as provided in the act. This evasion of the law and in such a wholesale manner, said the collector’s office, is serious and there will be trouble for the man caught doing such. The matter has been forwarded to Washington for in- structions as to handling in detail. Another drug firm was found short and umable to account for or show its dispensing on record pre- scription blanks of a large amount of morphine and other drugs com- ing under the act, and is likewise in a serious plight.
