To ihla end, village* of limited pep* elation and trade, have found it nceettorv to Make apodal effort to Mcureauch an institu tion. In aome coses this baa been attempted bj the mutual oonseut and agreement of all merchants and dealers, that the entire drtig- trudb shall be uudor the oonduot and control of the village apothecary. Often however, such agreements lapse, and the effort proves abortive, so that upon the whole, no sure plan has beeu found ID succeed until the town in its corporate capacity, imposes a tax upon the sale of all drugs and medeclnts, sufficient to throw protection over the bad* ness, and thus secure the end sought. 1 presume there are few persons, not even •U * ‘Ex-Judge," Who need a» extended argu- ment upon the importance of this subject, The writer, will however, in conclusion offer a few thoughts to the publio- generally and the citizens of Butler, and , Town Council especially In the first place the drug business inclu des a numerous class of officinal preparations, which though of rare and occasional use, yet, are articles of prime necessity, so much so that under the exegendes which demand their immediate vse, not to be able to command them, would oiten be felt as o calamity.

Now if these drags ore necessary to the well being and safety of the communnity, and the ordinary dealer will not nor cannot furnish them, then the question for c village and villager, is.
