another was closed up by the owner OF the
room. The results here have been most
valuable. One week ago we had twelve
places in the limits of our town where in

drug stores, and at this date we have only
six places besides drug stores, and our drug

sell any LIQUORS to be used as beverage.

Whereas, we believe the use Of spirituous
LIQUORS as beverage is productive OF evil,
its misuse a positive injury, source OF
many crimes, which the law is called upon

suppress this evil should have our moral
support and aid in GOOD faith; therefore,
Resolved, we, wholesale druggists OF
| Cincinnati, will not sell or fill any orders
for sDirituous liquors except to physicians
and druggists; that We will not sell or III
orders for it when wehave reason TO believe
it is to be sold or used as a beverage.
This was the result of the meeting OF
druggists during the evening. 1t was an
