Notes and Comments A New Bichloride Tablet. The wave of accidental poisoning from bichloride tablets that seems to be sweeping the country ought to receive a setback from the coffin-shaped POISON PAT APPLIED FOR tablets with "Poison" in raised letters on one side and skull and cross-bones on the other in a coffin-shaped bottle, with diamond-shaped projections, the Norwich Pharmacal Company, of Norwich, N. Y., are just introducing. This unusual and gruesome shape, both of tablet and bottle, certainly ought to halt any one by its suggestive character, while the sharp projections on the bottle, in daylight or darkness, are bound to call instant attention to the unusual and poisonous character of its contents. The Norwich people have always been alert in anticipating the demands of the professional public, and this latest product from their laboratories indicates that they still have their ears to the ground. If you mention Medical Council a free sample will be sent you.
