Der OF inquiries have been made to
this office and also to States Attor-
ney Thayer by merchants handling
patent medicines asking for a list of
the compounds which the Federal
authorities at Washington have pass
ed upon as containing alcohol in
sufficient quantities to produce intox-
ication and consequently coming I'M
der he internal revenue regulations.
To procure the Information rela-
tive TO the above Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue John J. Bell, of
Cumberland, was asked by THE RE
PUBLICAN for a list Of the compounds
advertised and sold as medicines
coming under the regulations of the
department and he has furnished us
the following, contained in a circular

cerned. The circular is dated at the
Treasury Department, Washington. as

On Septem Der y, 1905, Circular No.
6l3 was issued from this office con
corning alcoholic compounds adver-
tised and sold as medicine unGer var
ious names, some Of which were com
posed chiefly OF distilled spirits, or
mixtures thereof, without the add
ton of drugs or medicinal ingredients
III sufficient quantity to change ma
terially the character of the alcoholic
liquor.
In that circular it was stated that
because these preparations were held
out to the public as medicines would
not afford ground for relieving their
manufacturers from special tax as
rectiliers and wholesale liquor deal
ers, and would not relieve the retail
dealers therein from special tax as
retail liquor dealers under the prOYis-
ions of the Federal statutes.
1t was further stated that this Office
would, by analyses made in the chem
zeal laboratory here of these various
compounds. determine as TO whether
or not those manufacturing and han
ding them would be liable to the
special tax above named.
Further, that until such analyses
were made and conclusions reached
