SOUTH DAKOTA LAWS
Not RESTRICTIVE ON
DENATURED ALCOHOL
Attorney General Makes Ruling
on Sale Rights-New Law
Covers Point.

Pierre. S. D., March 19.-Attorncy
General Caldwell has ruled to the presi-
lent Of the state board Of pharmacy
that "denatured alcohol, fornaldehyde
and sulphate Of iron. not being pri-
marily medicinal In character and not
being poisons which are fatal to human
life in doses of 80 grains or less, may
be sold by others than registered
Pharmacists, unless same is prepared
and old expressly for medicinal pur-
poses.'
The ruling has come about after a
very exhaustive scare and i%nterpreta-
ton OF South Dakota statutes, which
involved the question, first, whether
these articles We're to be regarded as
medicines, and hence could not be 9TH
erwise; and not being found purely that
whether the pharmacy and health laws
of the state would permit the in
discriminate sale of poisons.
However. the act Of 1887 defined
poisons and regulated their sale, but
regulated it upon the 60-grain limita-
ton. Senate bill SIS, which became a
law at this session Of the legislature
and will be in effect July 1, provides
definite authority for others selling
these products, where there is no drug
store In town, in line with the at
torney generals present opinion.
