No. 54.]Constantinople, December 4, 1897.
Sir: Referring to your No. 45 of November 15, I have the honor to inform you that no law exists “to prohibit the importation of all proprietary medicines into Turkey.” Before these can be admitted, however, a copy of the prescription showing the composition of the medicine must be delivered to and approved by the Imperial School of Medicine in Constantinople.
I have, etc.,
James B. Angell.
