Abstract
THE forty-eighth annual meeting of the British Pharma ceutical Conference was held at Portsmouth on July 25–27 under the presidency of Mr. W. F. Wells. The presidential address dealt mainly with pharmaceutical legislation, incidentally directing attention to the fact that the laws regulating the practice of pharmacy in Germany and France afford better protection and greater privileges for pharmacists than the British and Irish laws. Mr. Wells deprecated the practice of Irish boards of guardians of purchasing drugs of inferior quality at competitive prices, and expressed the opinion that a large proportion of the damaged drugs imported from abroad went to public institutions, the governors of which paid more attention, to price than to quality.
