Pharmaceutical Products in Cuba.—A Presidential

Decree was issued on September 8, suspending, for a further
period of two years, the regulations issued by the Cuban
Public Health Department in regard to the sale of foreign
pharmaceutical products in the Republic. The regulations
were to have come into force on September 10, 1915, a date
subsequently altered to September 10, 1917. The regulations

are being studied with a view to amendment.
