a man doing business in Dayton, Ohio, April 17, in the United States courts in Cincinnati, another so-called medical company, the sole object of which is declared to be to sell medicines to prevent conception, is put out of business and its president and general manager is placed behind bars in the Ohio penitentiary for thirteen months.

Druggists Confer With Law Makers.-President A. O. Zwick, of the O. V. D. A., Attorney Frank Freericks, legal counsel of the O. V. D. A., and a number of other prominent druggists and officials of the O. V. D. A. went to Columbus, Ohio, a few days ago to meet the judiciary committee of the House for the purpose of talking over the proposed amendments to the Valentine-Stewart anti-trust law. Dr. Zwick and Attorney Freericks explained all phases of the law and its amendments to the legislators, who listened closely. The lawmakers asked a number of questions, which were promptly answered. One question was, "Will not the passage of the proposed amendments do away with the good features of the law while eradicating the evil ones?" Attorney Freericks explained that the amendments would not have this effect. The committee then went into executive session, and its report is being anxiously awaited. Attorney Freericks says it is possible the amendments will not be passed at this legislature, but, that in case they are not, they will prove to have been an entering wedge at least, and that sooner or later they will be enacted into law.
