Poisons Law

THE Act of 1933 made drastic changes in poisons law, and the Poisons List and Poisons Rules, issued by the Secretary of State on the advice of the Poisons Board, have brought complications and liabilities to all concerned, in whatever way, with transactions in poisons. The List, excluding esters and salts, approaches 200 entries, some covering ranges or groups of substances; the rules number 33, and 12 schedules are appended. Fortunately, this review is not concerned with the List or Rules as such, but only with the way in which the author explains and amplifies them. They appear involved and interdependent and it is obviously desirable to have them co-ordinated and explained for the assistance of those who are primarily concerned with their practical application. No one is more fitted to do this than he who is the Secretary of the Society which has been concerned with the administration of each Act dealing with poisons in Great Britain, and who is a member of the Poisons Board set up under the latest Act. He has dealt with the subject from the practical point of view and after discussing the question of labelling, he shows the application of the rules to, respectively, retail pharmacy, listed sellers, laboratories, manufacturers and wholesalers, medical practitioners (including dentists and veterinary surgeons), hospitals and manufacturers of animal medicines. In spite of the complexity of the subject and of certain essential repetitions, he has been able to compress these aspects to, respectively, 14, 7, 2, 11, 5, 6 and 2 pages of conveniently large print.

Economic Factors in the Pacific Area: A Review Bibliography

The object of this article is to give some indication of fairly recent literature on the economic developments and problems of the countries fringing the Pacific Ocean. It is not a complete list, and for a variety of reasons attention has been concentrated on the economic affairs of the Far East. A few books are listed at the beginning of the article as being valuable for the theoretical and international background they present rather than for their relevance to the conditions of any one country. The five areas, China, Japan, North America, Australasia and Malaysia are then considered in turn in reference to the following general headings: (1) Natural resources and population; (2) Economic development and possibilities; (3) Investments and capital movements; (4) Trade and communications. These divisions are very general and necessarily are not rigidly observed in the discussion of the material.
