SALE OF MALT EXTRACTS.
Druggists Seek Information From
the Municipal Authorities.

The municipal authorities, assisted by
the District Health Officer, have been spend
ing considerable time of late considering
the composition of the various kinds of
malt extracts sold on the local market.
The initiative in this matter was taken by
Robert n. Harper, President of the District
of Columbia Pharmaceutical Association,
who wrote TO the Commissioners asking
them to furnish him with analysis for the
use of members of the association who de-
sired to know what makes could not be
sold by retail druggists.
The communication from the association
was referred TO Dr. William C. Woodward.
the Health Officer, who explained in writ
ten statement to the municipal authorities
that the various malt extracts are placed
on the market as proprietary medicines,
and that there was, as far as he was aware,
no standard fixed by law nor anything to
prevent variation in the ingredients OF
these preparations from time to time. He
suggested that the matter be referred to
Attorney Duvall with a request for infor-
nation relative to the amount of alcohol
which might be permitted in malt extracts
sold by druggists.
In an opinion subsequently rendered At
torney Duvall states that the act of Con-
gress of March 3, 1898, which regulates the
sale of intoxicating liquors is silent on the
subjec, upon which the pharmaceutical
association desires information, and con-
tains no definition of the term intoxicating
liquors. Attorney Duvall quotes an opin-
ion which Mr. Justice Brewer, now of the
Supreme Court of the United States, de-
livered in the Supreme Court of Kansas
when he held that the question as to
whether any particular compound or pre-
paration is within or without the law is a
question of fact to be established by tes-
timony and determined by Jury
