DUBLIN'S SWEEPING LAW.
savannah Druggists Opinions Of

An ordinance passed several days
ago by the City Council of Dublin, re-
stricting the sale of patent medicines
or tonics containing alcohol, caused
some comment among the druggists
and Others here. The Dublin alder
men have given the druggists notice
that after Jan. 1, the sales of patent
medicines Of any kind or drugs, which
If drank to excess will produce in
toxication, is prohibited.
savannah druggists say that while
the ordinance covers all patent medi-
cines, it was passed to cover an en-
tirely different condition of affairs. 1t
is a game in dry counties for drug
stores to dish out tonics that are al
most entirely alcohol. This is looked
upon as an easy way to evade the
uouor law, and the thirsty man in a
dry county that can boast of a drug
store has no trouble in getting what
he wants usually. 1t is claimed by
Dublin's Council that three fourths OF
the drunks ARRESTED in that city be-
come intoxicated by drinking So-called
tonics.
Health officer w. F. Drummer read
the notice in the Morning News of the
action of the Dublin aldermen with in
terest. DR.. Drummer stated that
while the ordinance was probably
passed in order to stop the sale of alco-
hol under another name it in reality
covers quite a number of patent ton
les. DR.. Drummer has observed that
quite a number of these tonics of one
sort or another contain a per cent of
alcohol, and says that if enough of
the stuff is taken intoxica ton could be
produced. In the legitimate tonics
however, the per cent. of alcohol Is
small as compared with those snecially
fixed UP for dry counties and prohibit
ton states. Under the Dublin ordi-
nance, however, those tonics contain
ing alcohol are prohibited and the re-
suit promises to be interesting.

that more of it was on deposit in Chi
cago banks. They refused to give the
names of the banks and admitted that
they anticipate a fight against extra
dition.
