SOME INSIDE SECJWTS OF TIIE ROYAL DISPENSARY. Such Precautions Are Taken Which Benders 11 Almost Isnpossibk for Mietakes to Occur. Kings, like other mortals, ere subject 10 numerous ills, and frequently r'e(tuir., the aid of the physician -far !lore fre- quently than is recorded in fact. While an innumerable number of men end weenlen have been murdered by tamper- ing with the medicines they were lut- ing, such t► case is unknown amongst Reyalty of our days, says London Ans- wers. Recently one of our representatives held the good forwnc to !feet it gentle- man sotto has dispensed medicines for practically every member of our hole' Fancily, and this gentleman was good enough to throw some light on the sub- ject. In preparing physic for Royally, na- turally tall precautions- are liken that the drugs are of the greatest purity. This (tees not suffice, however, for it might be possible for soma. evil person to eeh- tain a position, by hook of crook, in the establishment where the Royal medi- cines are dispensed. Accordingly, such elaborate precau- tions are taken which renders it u mat- te, of impossibility for any [mistake to occur either ACCIDENTAL. OR PIREMEDI'I'ATED. Even if an Anarchist were employed in the dispenSttry, all his attempts to do harm would be quite futile. - A special Royal Messenger lakes the prescription to the Royal Dispensary, and (here the exact time and dale it is handed in is recorded, and the person wlto receives the envelope initials the record. 'Chen the prescription Ls passed into ti room used for no other purpose than dispensing these medicines. The greatest precautions are tnken in keep- ing not merely the room properly lock- ed, but every cupboard containing the various drugs. Inside the dispensary are a number of prescription [suis, each member of the Royal Fancily having a special book. The books are safeguarded in every way, even so far as being protected with massive fittings and special locks; weedless to say, the books are always -kicked, excepting at the time WHEN AN ENTITY 1S MADE. The keys of these locks ere again fastened in a special stronghold. which is sealed with special devices, in such a way that it would be impossible to temper with thein without some truce being left. The actual dispensing is done by two chemists, who thus form a check on each other. As soon as the prescription reaches these men, the prescription took is unlocked, and the senior dis- penser enters a copy of the prescription, the entry being checked by his junior. Next, the particular cupboards are un- locked. and the requisite ingredients fire withdrawn, every precat.tion being taken. Not only are the drugs, weights, rind quantities checked by the two [nen, but the water itself is subjected to var- 'ious delicate tests. 11 is scarcely neces- sary to add that after every safeguard has been taken, the drugs themselves aro carefully analysed. TUE MEDICINES ABBE CHECKED 1.y every delicate process imaginable, and then carefully pa^ked and placed in a special case, which is then carefully lc.cked. The lock provided is exception - idly secure and complicated. and pos- sesses two keys, one of which is kept at the Dispensary, while in the case of the king the other is in the possession of his Majesty. Thus it is impossible for the medicines to be tampered with alter They have left the laboratory. During the whole of these complicated t ro:e5ses, the two dispensers never lose sight of their charge, and they check 41,01 other in every intaginablo way. 1 he lacked case is Ilten handed over to it confidential person, who then conveys it to the Itoyat1 personage for Maim it is intended.

The medicines at last go through fur- ther severe checking by the Royal Phy- sician, wheel emnplote's the elaborate 1mt s -seises. Ill these devices it is quite impossible for the Royal medicines to be tampered with in any way. 1115 BODY CUT IN TWO. Camp Cook Killed Trying to Board Mor,1119 Train at Verona.
