KRAMER URGES DRUGGISTS
TO OBSERVE DRY LAW
Warns Them That They Must be
Careful Lest They Become Liquor
Dealers in Name and Fact

Prohibition Commissioner Kramer
on May warned the American Phar-
maceutical Association i'll annual con-
vention in Washington to keep the
druggists of the nation free from the
name OF retail liquor dealers. Mr.
Kramer said:
Prohibition has been written
into the Constitution. 1t will
never be taken out OF it in the
history of the country. it is not
only the duty of the officials, but
the province and duty OF every
American citizen to see that the
laws are obeyed and respected.
The Commissioner told the drug
gists that if they were mot mighty
careful" they would "in name and
fact be liquor Dealers and added that
mo man ever had disease any more
that takes less than a pint to cure. u
"The thing that bothers me more than
anything else" said Mr.. Kramer, lis
to keep the profession of medicine and
the trade of the druggist on the high
plane they have always occupied. y
He referred to the enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment as big job
but added, we'll get away with it in
a generation"

WILEY OPPOSES WHISkY'S
RETURN To PHARMACEUTICAL
Recommends Legislation to Stop
Abuse in Writing Whisky
Prescriptions
UP TO MEDICAL M E N
Medical Profession Must Accept
Blame and Criticism for
Abuse of Permits
UP TO MEDICAL M N

In all address at Washington last
week as retiring president of the
United States pharmacopoeial conven-
ton, DR.. Harvey w. Wiley declared
that profiteering had taken new
form in the medical profession of
whisky prescription writing. He adj
vocated legislation prohibiting physi-
clans writing more prescriptions for
whisky and brandy than they wrote
in 1914.
Defending the druggists, DR.. Wiley
declared that the physician is the
leading offender in the illegal sale of
liquor and that the pharmacist merely
is doing his duty when he fills pre-
scriptions for whisky asd brandy.
"If the writing of such prescriptions
is abused the medical profession must
accept the greater part of the criti-
cism and blame" said DR.. Wiley.
DR.. Wiley also opposed the return
of whisky and brandy to the Phar-
macopoeia from which they were re-
moved several years ago.

The Camels, new organization OF
vets to overthrow the Eighteenth
Amendment had its origin in the city
made famous by beer and Berger and
the name of its chief organizer is a
synonym for the glorifed German
beer mug.
The vets always sail under false
colors. "The Temperance Union,
The Manufacturers and Dealers AS
ISOLATION" 1.-THE Association of Com
mercc and Labor" are some of the
banners they have flung to the breeze
and under which they have fought
the Anti-Saloon League.
The Camel is the symbol of the dry
cause and the vets gravely announce
that total abstainers will be welcome
to join the Camels. They have
started out to restore the so-called
personal liberty of America and are
trying to throw scare into the users
of the weed and line them up and
make them get a hump on them
selves" by yelling tobacco next"

toward civilization is marked by a
check on individualism."
In a complex civilization like ours
nobody can be allowed entire liberty
OF person, for society must be pro-
tectcd. Hence we have laws pro-
hibiting splitting OH sidewalks, the
sale of rotten food, the carrying of
concealed weapons, the making and
selling of Intoxicating poison to men,
etc.
The manufacture and sale of alco-
holic poison is not business but a
crime.
Prohibition is not concerned about
mans right TO drink what he pleases
but it is concerned whether mans
business is legitimate or not.
Prohibition does not interfere with
any mans opportunity to succeed in
life. 1t deprives him of no advantage
in the struggle for existence. 1t takes
from him no substantial enjoyment.
Then why waste time, effort and
money in fighting the upward, on
ward march of civilization!
Raging thirst creates the illusion
that the Camels are headed for an
oasis, bahl it is only mirage.

PRESCRIBING A kick"
By DR.. w. A. Evans in Chicago Tribune, May II, 1920

DIR. Bernard Fantus says the nedi-
cal profession has every reason to
welcome the advent of Prohibition. In
spite of the truth of this assertion up
to the present its effect on the medical
profession is problematical.
1t generally is reputcd that a big
whisky business has been built up
around physicians prescriptions. A
physician writes a prescription for
whisky for a bootlegger for good
fee. The bootlegger has it filled at
high price by a druggist. He takes
the whisky to saloon and sells. it
much above cost to him. The saloon
keeper retails it for enough to cover
cost, provide against hazards, and
still give him a profit.
Both the physicians and the drug
gsts have gone on record against the
use of alcoholic beverages and yet the
above condition is developing and
nothing but the strong arm OF the
law seems able to stay it. No one has
the right to claim that this practice
is founded upon belief that alcoholic
beverages have any place in medicine.
According to Dr. Fantus, Presby-
terian, Cook county, and Frances WILL
lard hospitals, in Chicago and no
doubt many large hospitals i'll other
cities do not dispense any liquors to
patients. Whisky, brandy, and other
alcoholic beverages were taken off the
emergency ambulanccs i'll Chicago
just twelve years ago.
DR.. Fantus' article is valuable in
that it suggests approved methods of
getting rid Of, or at least lessening,
the use of alcohol as a solvent for
medicines. In the first place the old
style tinctures should not be used.
They arc bulky and many OF them are
not pleasant to take. The patients
greatly prefer capsules, tablets, and
pills containing the same drugs, but
without the alcohol which enters into
tinctures.
The fluid extracts arc likewise more
efficient than the tinctures. Certain

". R. Hearst Says
Prohibition Was
Not Sneaked Over
Declares Results Will Test Life of
Dry Law

In recent interview on various
public questions VIM. Randolph
Hearst expressed himself as follows
on Prohibition.
And as between wide-open sa
loon--as between the saloon and Pro-
hibition--I was for Prohibition"
And you are now?' Mr.. Hearst
was asked.
We'll, | think we have got it," he
replied, and no matter what we
would be, now il is what we arc"
But as to the possibility of a
change now, what do you Think"
Il do not think any particular
change is possible at present. do
not know that it is desirable until
we have given Prohibition a fair
trial A great many people say that
Prohibition was rather sneaked over
on them, but as a matter of fact it
really was not.
Trend Seen for Years
"One county after another has
been going dry over the United
States for years, and as a result the
various congressman and senator's
found hat their district, their peo-
pie, bad in most cases voted dry. Men
that frank voted dry.
But. anyhow, the people these
senator's and congressman looked to
for support were supporting this dry
movement--for temperance, and in
many cases for Prohibition, honestly
believing it was the best way to Sc
cure temperance.
THE result was-Congress and the
Senate always try to represent their
clientele. and vote in accordance
they submitted the amendment in &C
cordance with what they believed was
the sentiment of their clientele
"And we are not going to have
anything different until that senti-
mcnt changes, and there is only one
thing that will change it. and that
is the obvious failure of Prohibition
from a temperance point of view.

Arrests for Drunkenness in State
Drops From 1859 in Wet

VIM. II. Pear, general agent of tho
Boston Provident Association, de-
clares in paper recently that social
and economic burdens imposed by
drink have been greatly lightened by
Prohibition.
That gentleman said that as tho
close of the year 1917 his Association
found in study covering eight years
that 400 out of total of TITS de-
pendent families showed intemper
ance as a factor in their troubles. In
these 1900 families, 1925 children were
showed up under conditions of neg
lect and abuse because of liquor.
But there is a vast difference now
under Prohibition. Only 80 cases out
of ASS applications since the first OF
last July. The figures of the Asso-
ciated Charities OF Boston show a
drop since 1917 from II per cent to
, per cent in the last six months.

to more than twelve thousand en-

the habit of saving. He declared
that if the money that might be saw

ly, when the pharmacopoeia is revised
this year all tinctures of useless and
ineffective drugs should be left out.
Such tinctures can be and will be
used as beverages.
If proprietary and patent medicines
were required to be put up in tablets
or capsules their efficiency would be
increased and all abuse would be done
away with. To be taken internally as
a stimulant in shock aromatic spirits
of ammonia is satisfactory substi-
tute for alcohol.
Hoffman's anodyne in various con-
ditions requiring stimulant and all
anodyne is better than whisky or
brandy AS a rub to be used by
masseurs the directions should call
for something mixed with the alcohol.
If it is desired to stimulate the skin
the alcohol should contain one per
cent iodine. phcnol, cresol, or formal
dellyde. II it is to be soothed it
should contain boracic acid.

cold water is better than alcohol As

late of phenol /, menthol |, salicylate

luted or rot Nobody will be tempt
ed to drink such compound.
There is movement to reinstate
whistles, brandies, and wines into the
pharmacopoeia because the federal
law theoretically classes them as mcdi-
cines. This DR.. Fantus opposes as
not justified scientifically and as bad
policy Were DR.. Fantus' suggcs-
tons adopted the gradual SOLDERING

take generation, will be specded up
