"HARLAx" LISTED AS BOOZE.
State Pharmacy Board Warns Drug
= gsts Against Sale.

Des Moines, March 25.-The state
pharmacy commission today issued
warning to druggists against the sale
Of patent medicines containing a
large per cent of alcohol and calls
attention to a recent decision Of the
supreme court unfolding the prose-
cution Of a druggist for the sale of
Harlax.
The attention Of the pharmacy
commission has been repeatedly d.
rected to difficulties resulting from
the sale of certain patent medicines
and In many instances it has been
discovered that the patent medicine
contained a large per cent Of alcohol
and lacks any amount OF drug potency
sufficient to destroy the characteris-
tics Of the alcohol in the prepara-
tion," says the commission. Several
OF the druggists Of the state have
been indicted for Bookkeeping and for
maintaining liquor nuisances and in
few cases permanent injunctions
have been issued against the drug
gist as we'll as his place of business.
ANY druggist selling Harlax is
liable to prosecution since the su-
preme court Of Iowa on the 10th Of
March affirmed the decision Of the
lower court in case defining Har-
lax as an Intoxicating liquor"
Druggists We're warned that other
Preparations might be found to pos
