There seems to be misunder-

mits the sale of small quantities Of
liquor by druggists ON the prescrip-
ton Of a physician This provision
has no effect in Oklahoma or in any

state from enacting any law on the
subject in future that it may deem

two years of its existence tried the
dispensing Of liquor for medicinal
purposes on physicians certificates

Such plan ruins both the prohibi

that the provision will soon be elm
mated from the federal act The
state courts and enforcement Off
