DOCTORS FAT LIQUOR FEES.
Ten Thousand Prescriptions at One
Dollar Each Written by One PLY.
o sician, Says Official.

Morgantown, w Va--The anti
saloon people Of this county who have
been wondering for some time past
why so many drunken men were seen
on the streets OF this place since the
county was voted "dry'over year ago
have been given a rude shock by Dis
trict Attorney Boyd, who declares that
the physicians and the druggists of
Morgantown have been reaplng the
golden harvest that formerly went to
the liquor men.
According TO announcement made by
Prosecuting Attorney Boyd, one promi-
nent physician of Morgantown alone
has written 10000 prescriptions for
liquor during the past year, Mr. Boyd
announced his intention OF making
wholesale prosecutions against the ply
siclans So far il is a question what
can be done with the druggists, but the
attorney will make an effort to include
them In the prosecutions.
Counting Srndays, the number OF
whisky prescriptions written by this
one physician reaches q a day. The
customary price that is paid for these
prescriptions Is one dollar each, so
that the physician made $4,000 year.
while the druggist probably made half
of that amount. Similar conditions are
said to exist all through the dry" dis
tricts of West Virginia and Ohio.

approximately 100000; legacies.
