REGULATIONS.

WHEREAS by the Pharmacy Act, 1908 (No. 143), it is enacted that the Pharmacy Board of New Zealand may from time to time make regulations for the purpose of generally carrying the said Act into effect, provided that no such regulation shall have any effect until it shall have been approved by the Governor in Council and published in the Gazette :

Now, therefore, the said Board, in pursuance of the provisions of the said Act, doth hereby make the regulations following, that is to say :—

On and after the 1st day of January, 1915, regulations numbered 27 and 28 made under the Pharmacy Act, 1898, and approved by the Governor in Council on the 20th day of November, 1908, shall be rescinded, and the following regulations substituted therefor, to come into operation on the said date :—
