tered pharmacist or a duly registered assistant pharmacist, to sell or
dispense any poisons, provided, however, that the Maryland State De-
partment of Health shall issue permits, upon payment of a fee of twenty-
five (25c) cents, to such bona fide merchants in rural communities as may
apply for the same, authorizing the sale of such poisons as the said
State Department of Health may from time to time by regulation pre-
scribe. The said State Department of Health, upon the adoption of the
regulations herein provided for, or any amendment or amendments thereto,
shall forthwith have the same printed and shall forward by mail one

of the said State Department of Health, and the mailing of such regu-
lations, or any amendment or amendments thereto, shall be deemed con-
clusive evidence of the notification of the permittee of the contents thereof.
