WHISKY NOT medicine.
After January |.
u. S. Pharmacopeia Rules
Out IntOxicant After
a Close Fight
DRUGGISTS WILL
NEED NEW LICENSE

WASHINGTON, July 1z.-Whiskey
and brandy cannot be taken as "medi-
cine" after January l. 1916, and, as
result. every druggist in the United
States who proposes to sell either in
toxicant afte, that date will be forced
to take out license as a saloon
keeper, paying the high retailers. tax
and putting his place under all local
and state regulations. DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley made this known yesterday.
This situation is brought about by
the decision OF the revision committee
Of the United States Pharmacopoeia
to drop both whisky and brandy from
the publication. The elimination OF
these intoxicants from the book has
the effect of Withdrawing recognition
Of them as medicines. The Pharma-
copoeia is the Official publication for
the country and nothing which is not
listed therein can be sold as medicine.
Doctor wiley. president OF the Unit
ed States Pharmacopoeial Convention,
In announcing the decision OF the
committee said
whisky and brandy have been
eliminated from the pharmocopoeia.
No reason for the action can be given
by any cne. except Dr. Joseph P REM
ington, OF Philadelphia. chairman Of
the committee
Il IS known, however, that the de-
cision was not reached without a Bit
ter fight There ere 81 members, 80
Of them being elected by the conven-
ton. Or. Wiley, as president of the
convention, is the only ex-ofiicio mem
ber. The committee at first decided
to ignore the question of eliminating
whisky and brandy from the list, but
later the subject was reconsidered.
According TO those in close touch
with the arguments made in the dis
cussion, one reason for the change is
the growing tendency of physicians
not to prescribe liquor as medicine.
Representations we're made that few
prescriptions from physicians for IL
ouor are taken TO drug stores.
II is believed that the recognition
OF whisky and brandy as medicines
has had tendency to make the drug
store a blind tiger" This is especial
ly true in dry" territory.

which costs nut S25 year. they are
permitted to sell ~ on prescription
and IN case of emergency. Doctor Wiley
said that whisky could be sold tor

bites in "dry" localities was said TO
be exceptionally large.

the pharmacopoeia and which voted

PHYSICIANS DECLARE
WAR ON WHISKY BUSINESS

ATLANTIC CITY. n j.. July r.
Medical men have declared war upon
the Whisky Trust of the country
That is what the action of the revision
of the United States Phar-
maoopoeial Commission in voting 10
omit all reference to whisky and
brandy as medicinal remedies from
the pharmacopooia Of the United
States of America. effective on and
after January l next amounts to.
This Pharmacopceia is the medico-
pharmaceutical law Of the nation. The
vote by which liquor was dropped
was close. 26 to "a. with seven Phila-
delphians amons the revisers voting,
but the effect. said Prot. Joseph P.
Remington, dean OF the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy and chsirman
of the revision committee. will be
as binding upon physicians and phar-
macists as n u were unanimous.
Prohibition and anti-saloon nfiuen-
ces had nothing whatever to do with
the committees actions. Professor
Remington stated at his cottage in
longport ths afternoon. President
Taft paved the way for Il. Mr. REM
ington said when he repudiated the
Roosevelt dictum that there could be
put one kind Of whisky. pure whisky
las prescribed in tho Pharmacopoela
and, against The advice of many men
OF scientific experience, held there
could be straight whisky blended
whisky compounded whisky and arti-
icial whisky. This ruling. which
many believe was outside the Presi-
Dental jurisdiction, made any Pharm-
acopoeil tests worthless.
Another reason for the decision to
not have whisky and brandy longer
as medicinal remedies was that ex-
lceedingly few medical men are using
them in that connection. still an
other cause .or the action taken is
that so long as there is an excuse tor
small-town druggists IN dry territory
to have whisky on their shelves Dc
haucherv will exist"
Investigation has shown that 50 per
cent of the so-called whisky used in
the country Is little better. Professor
Remington stated. than alcohol and

 It was Great Britain's business. continued Lord Roberts, to find out in what way the great increase In Germany's sea power was likely to affect her, and to adopt measures necessary for her own defense. The navy under present conditions was fettered in home waters, and with out military force sufficient to rem der an invasion hopeless would, in all probability. be the cause of the loss of her naval supremacy.
 Lord Robert s speech caused a sensation in the House at the time and his resolution to the effect ''that the defense of the islands necessitates the immediate attention of the gov ernment to make provision for such a strong and efficient army that the most formidable foreign nation will hesitate before making an attempt at landing :" was adopted by vote of seventy,four to thirty -two.-Chicago Tribune.
