LIQUORS IN PRESCRIPTIONS.
COMMISSIONER LYMAN SAYS THAT THIS USE OF
SPIRITS IS NOT VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

Albany May l2-State Excise Commissioner Ly-
man to-day made the following ruling In the mat
ter Of filling prescriptions by regular pharmacists
where the prescriptions contain alcohol or other
liquor: That where In good faith a pharmacist Is
obliged In the preparation Of bona fde medical
preparations TO use alcohol or other spirits in the
compounding thereof for the purposes Of medicine,
II is not a violation OF the Liquor Tax law so TO do
although In towr where such medicine Is pre-
pared or prescription filed the sale OF liquor as
such Is prohibited under the different questions
submitted under the local op;on provisions or the
Liquor Tax law.
The Commissioner says: In my. opinion the com
pounding and sale OF physicians prescription by
n pharmacist Of which liquor Is n component part
is not 'traffickng in liquor within the meaning OF
the Liquor Tax law. Such prescription Is a
remedy to be administered or taken, and not liquor
as defined bv the law"
