The Montpelier Journal points out
feature of the license law that takes away
the last hope of obtaining anything stimu-
lating through medical attendance IN
/ towns where no license is voted. The Jour
/ nal says:-"Nermont is not the only state
where liquor is sold under peculiar cir
cumstances. A young doctor in Birdseye,
\ Ind, has just been arrested, charged with
/ selling liquor without a United States Ii
cense. it being claimed that he carried
4 whiskey in his medicine case and delivered
/ it under pretense of making professional
calls Doctors in dry towns in Vermont
NAV well take warning" Though this
NAV be a ''wet" state, there will evidently
/ be spots in it for year at least where peo-
pie can live without becoming web-footed.
| TO be on the safe side, it looks as though
doctors would have to take out govern
ment license to revive a sinking patient
with a few drops of liquor, hold a bottle OF
camphor to his nose or leave little cough
mixture of whiskey and glycerine. There
is still the mirage OF patent nostrums IN
the desert, which is comforting until the
illusion is dspelled by finding that the
connections have medicine enough in
them to spoil the taste and keep the dose
down to tablespoonful.
