After January l, 1916, no more
whiskey or brandy will be sold in drug
stores. This is due to the fact that the
National Pharmacopoeia committee has
cut these liquors from the new edition
of the United States pharmacopoeia,
which means that they have been de-
clared officially to be neither drugs nor
medicines. The edition will be put
forth about January l, 1916, and there
after whiskey and brandy cannot be
sold legally by druggists, unless they
become saloonkeepers by taking out
local licenses. 1t is expected that this
situation will result in many druggists
in prohibition territory going out of
business.
