DRUGGISTS
ARE DAzED.
Strict Enforcement Of Auditors
Construction Of Liquor Law
Impossible.
WOULD CLOSE DRUG STORES
Liquor a Component Of Mary
Drugs and Even More Patent
Remedies on Sale.

Tho druggists Of this city generally arc
loud In their condemnation Of the an
nounccd ruling OF Commissioners OF
Revenue Hawkins. based on that OF
Auditor OF Public Accounts Morton
Marye. that tho language Of section III OF
tho Mann liquor law IN relation to the
sale Of liquors and bittcrs by druggists
must be construed and enforce literally
One Main Street druggist yesterday said
In discussing tho matter: There are
seyenty-odd druggists In this city. and 1t
la my conviction that all the liquor sold
In tho course Of tho year would lDt be-
SUFFICIENT In the amount Of profit there
from to pay a liquor license for one
firm. TO enforce the law strictly would
be to prohibit the sale Of many well
known proprietary medicines which have
liquor In them as component. we se1'
no liquor. and very fcw patent remedies,
being apothecarics almost purely. The
liquor sold by druggists is entirely IN
emergency cases, out of humanity or tor
accommodation, and In such cases the
Trouble and expense are far In excess
of the value Of the article sold.
OUT OF ALL REASON.
Mr.. Miller, OF the Polk Miller Dr'lg
Company's Main Street store, expressed
his surprise that a man SO intelligent as
tho commissioner or the auditor should
suggest any such thing as literal EN-
forcement Of the Ian. He named large
number of drugs and medicines Of which
liduor was an ingredient, and the sale OF
which would be altogether stopped by
such an enforcement OF the law. All the
liquors sold In every form by all the
druggists OF Richmond would not IN the
course of the year bring enough profit
to amount to $50. let alone tho $3.50 license
proposed to be exacted.
All the druggists have tho United States
license for the sale OF spirits. This
amounts to $25 per annum. A few OF
them sell malt liquor which has been
endorsed by physicians as medicinal
remedy. Various other patent remedies
have large proportion Of liquors In
them. The ruling of the commissioner
would stop the sale OF a. large number
Of medicines, II followed literally.
TO WAIT ON AUDITOR.
A committee Of druggists, headed BY
Colonel John B. Purcell. will on Monday
call on the auditor and ask him for
moro specific instruction Of the law. AS
a matter Of fact. the law has been In
force for several years. and this Is the
first time such a remarkable proposition
s charging retail liquor license has been
suggested 1t is not considered likely that
any attempt will be made to enforce the
ruling originally pronounced.

that tho plant should be closed and the
receivers should hold the mills and the

DR.. James J. Walsh, dean of the new med

leprosy. said yesterday that the basis on

to be the right one, from the fact that tu-

DIR. Park. New York city bacteriologist,
was equally dubious. He said: From first
observations the reported success of Captain
Rost is against all ideas of what naturally
would happen. In the treatment of those
diseases which are self-lmited it Is right
to expect a curative serum which nature
itself produces. as shown from the fact that
the disease is limited. In tuberculosis and
leprosy, however the tendency is always
to make progress, and nature, therefore,
shows little tendency to make curative Sc
