Your committee thought it inadvisable to advise you as to their construction of the meaning of this law in regard to many of its obscure provisions but would prefer you to obtain legal advice as to your rights if you have doubts. Many of the present rulings may have to be changed and no doubt will be after the next session of the National Congress. It behoves you all to study this law carefully as well as all laws that affect our craft and to that end a copy of each is printed herein annually. It is a source of regret to your committee that there is not a larger representation of druggists among the representatives elected to the General Assembly to the end that better law-making material would be at the Capitol and incidentally more assistance to your committee. We wish to express the Associations' thanks for the valuable assistance of representative Dougal of Torrington and Senator Buell of Colchester and McGovern of Hartford. Respectfully submitted, JOHN K. WILLIAMS, Hartford, JOHN A. LEVERTY, Bridgeport. Legislative Committee Connecticut Pharmaceutical Association.
