PEPSIN AS AN
.INTOXICANT!

Collector of Internal Revenue
Leon o. Tebbetts Wednesday re-
ceived a communication from John
F. Kramer, federal prohibition COM
missioner, stating that all prepara-
tons containing less than eight
grains Of pepsin to the fluid ounce
will be classed as intoxicating liquors
and the manufacture and sale of the
same must be in accordance with
the regulations for such intoxicat-
ing liquors.
The communication further says
that as pepsin is known to lose its
efficiency in time, it will be neces-
sary that persons holding in stock
preparations supposed, to contain in
excess of eight grains Of pepsin to
the fluid ounce, assure themselves
that. at the time of sale, the prepara-
tions does in fact contain the active
properties Of such an amount of
pepsin. If upon analysis it is found
that a preparation purporting to
contain eight grains or more Of pep
sin in each fluid ounce does not in
fact contain such an amount of pep
sin, the preparation will be held to
be an intoxicating liquor whether
