DRUGGISTS ARE
 WITHIN LAW IN
 SELLING DOPE
Full Control Is Placed Over Narcotics by the Harrison Act;
 Federal Statute.
ARE OBLIGED TO SELL

The controversy over the publica- tion of the facts surrounding the selling of arcotics--morphine and other deriviations of opium-to June Davis has developed the facts that Juneau druggists and physi- clans have been following the pro visions of the law It also has de- Territorial boards of pharmacy and physicians have nothing to do with the enforcement of laws against the sale of narcotics. It is con trolled wholly by the Harrison Act, Federal statute, and its regula- tions are being complied with as far as can be determined by those who have looked into the matter. The Territorial board of pharma- cy reuqires druggists to make a rec ord of sales of narcotics, and, ac- cording to President William Britt, of the board, that requirement has been complied with by Juneau drug gists and those of other Alaskan towns.
 Not only are Juneau druggists blameless for selling narcotics to June Davis," said President Britt of the board of pharmacy, but they did only what they were obliged to do when they filled the physicians prescriptions for her Of course, had the prescriptions been for In6In tc fhnv 1untr1d exercised a discretion and refused to fill them. But the quantities oi morphine used by this woman were not large for a victim of the mar cotic habit. Any physician will say that the total amount sold tc her by Juneau druggists-about 9C grains in a period of nine months would not satisfy the demands o anyone addicted to the habit. 'Dope fiends' have been known to take more morphine or some of the oth- CT deriviations of opium in one da, than was sold to her in the entire nine months period The indica tions are that she has been suffer- ing more for the want of narcotics than because of them. '"i
 There is not druggist in Ju- neau, nor physician probably, who has not been pestered for month. by the pleading of this woman fol narcotics. All of them have re fused her except where she had a prescription from a physician, and physicians have refused to give heI prescriptions, though there is prob. ably hardly an active physician witt, a large practice anywhere who doesr not prescribe for the use of his various patients every 60 days more than she was sold in nine months.
 Referring to the reasons assigned for the "shake-up" in the board of pharmacy, and the suggestions that there had been lack of harmony be tween the board of pharmacy anC the board of physicians, Presiden, Britt characterized them as silly" and without foundation in fact.
