CODE OF ETHICS.

PREAMBLE.

The members of The Connecticut Pharmaceutical Association, considering it necessary that some mutual understanding should exist in regard to the moral principles which should guide them in their profession, do hereby agree upon the following Code of Ethics:

1. We accept the U. S. Pharmacopoeia as our standard and guide for all officinal preparations, and recognize a variance from its rules only in exceptional cases, where sufficient authority has proved some other process more reliable to attain the same end. We would, however, recognize the authority to dispense medicines where they are especially ordered to be compounded in accordance with foreign Pharmacopoeias. 2. We discountenance all secret formulas between physician and pharmacist, and consider it our duty to communicate such to each other when requested, unless otherwise directed by the physician who originated the same.

3. We distinctly repudiate the practice of allowing physicians a percentage, in any form, on their prescriptions or patronage, as being derogatory to both professions.

4. We will endeavor, as far as possible, to refrain from compromising the professional reputation of any physician, and expect, in return, the same courtesy from him.

5. Believing that the professional training of the pharmacist does not include those branches which enable the physician to diagnose and treat disease, we should, in all practical cases, decline to give medical advice, and refer the applicant to an educated physician.

6. The growing demands of the age require that those who follow the profession of pharmacy should be educated up to a higher standard; therefore, we consider it our duty, individually and collectively, to encourage the advancement of knowledge in our profession generally, and more particularly by stimulating our assistants in every way possible to become proficient in their business.

7. While we duly recognize the value of alcohol, and such liquors of which it is an active ingredient, as a therapeutic agent, and believe it proper to be dispensed or sold as such by pharmacists, we would deplore the widespread evil resulting from its intemperate use, and we condemn any attempt to make it a prominent feature of our business,

or its sale in any form to be drunk on our premises, as unprofessional and contrary to public policy and good morals.

8. Believing that some means should be adopted to enforce the provisions of this code, a member may report to any annual meeting of this Association any member whom we find violating the same; at which time the accused may be heard in his own defense, and if the member accused should be found guilty, he may be expelled by a vote of two-thirds present.

INTOXICATING LIQUORS.

REVISED STATUTES, 1902.

WHEN BOND IS FORFEITED.

ISSUING AND FORFEITURE OF BOND FOR DUE OBSERVANCE OF THE LAW.

Section 2661. No person shall receive a license for the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors until he shall have filed with the County Commissioners a joint and several bond to the Treasurer of said county in the sum of three hundred doliars, with sufficient surety conditioned for the due observance of all provisions of the law relating to the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors; and also conditioned that, in case he shall apply for a renewal of his license, he shall pay to the County Commissioners, upon the final determination of such renewal application, an amount of money equal to the cost of his old license for so much of a license year as shall elapse from the expiration of his old license until the final determination, by the County Commissioners, or upon appeal, of his application for a new license; and no person shall be a surety upon such bond who is himself a licensed dealer in spirituous and intoxicating liquors while the bond upon which he is principal is in force. Whenever a person so licensed shall be convicted of a violation of any of the provisions of the law relating to the sale of spirituous and intoxicating liquors, and no appeal is pending, said bond shall thereupon become forfeited, and the Treasurer of said county shall in his own name institute suit upon said bond for the benefit of said county, and upon due proof of said conviction the court before which suit is brought shall render judgment in favor of said Treasurer for the entire amount of said bond with costs.
