legal prescriptions, as follows: J. B. John
son 1, Hope & Son :18,t Steele, DuBose & Co.
2, J. J.. Hagins & Co. 81. The Council i'm
posed a fine of 81 for each prescription.
Tile Council claims that the prescriptions
are illegal, in that the physician giving
them failed to certify that the whisky was
for medical use.j Messrs. Hagins & co. at
once applied to the Council for a hearing
and their petition was granted, and the
case will be heard at the next meeting OF
the Council.
