As pharmacists, we are entrusted with the safe-keeping of
certain powerful drugs and chemicals. And whenever a person
trys to buy these, we must always ask: “Have you a
prescription for it?’* because we are n®t allowed—by regulation
and by professional conscience-to dispense any of
these drugs without a written order for them, signed by a
physician known to us. To do otherwise would b^ to act contrary
to the interests of the public health-and even to endanger
your own life.
