ALCOHOL SALE
NOT PROHIBITED
Rev. E. c. Prcttyman Says Dela-
ware Law Permits Its Sale for
Medicinal Purposes.

Claiming that there are no Delaware
laws that prohibit the sale Of alcohol for
medicinal purposes, Rev. G. IL Hubbard
presented arguments in that behalf at
St. Pauls NJ. T.. Church last night
Among other things he read the following
letter from Rev. y. G. Prcttyman, super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League:
Dear Sir: There seems to be consider
able misunderstanding and misinforma-
ton AS to the laws and regulations con-
ccrning the sale OF pure grain alcohol IN
our State. That this may be corrected,
am giving below the things necessary to be
done TO be able to sell or prescribe pure
grain alcohol for medicinal purposes:
"a druggist, if he is licensed pharma-
cist, before he can handle pure grain alco-
hol. must take out S25 Federal license,
give bond for 81 900 and get permit from
the Internal Revenue Department He
must get q permit from the attorney-gen-
eral of Delaware and give bond for S5oo
Under the regulations Of the Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution OF the
United States, prescriptions for pure gram
alcohol written by reputable physicians ip
active practice can be filed by druggists
who have qualified AS above. All that IS
necessary for a physician, who Is IN active
practice and good standing and not ad-
dicted TO the use of Intoxicating liquor or
drugs to issue pres criptions for pure grain
alcohol for medicinal purposes is to get a
permit and special form (which are free)
from the internal revenue office. He needs
no permit from the State. He also can get
for his own use, as much as six quarts of
pure grain alcohol in one year without
being bonded, but should he use more than
six quarts he must file bond for 81 1000
with the Federal government. He then
can get all the pure grain alcohol neces-
sarv for his business. He needs no State
permit or bond to do this.
According to information received
from the office which has control of the
issuing of permits in Delaware, there Is
nothing in the Klair law that makes it i'm
possible for physician in good standing

and active practice TO issre prescriptions
for pure grain alcohol nor thAt prohibits
druggists from filing the sarno. The DelA-
ware law in respect to this matter u not
nearly so stringent ~ the Federal law.
''T'he klair law prohibits the sale Of
whisky for medicinal or any other pur-
pose This was the intention Of the franz
ers Of the law. In doing this the best
medical thought and uttcranoes wcrc fol-
lowed rs well as the legislation passed In
other States.
Having written to 30 States that havs
passcd State prohibition laws, VIC havo
SO far received IA replies. Ten Of these
States prohibit by State law the sale Of
whisky for any purpose whatever, five Of
them prohibit the sale Of both whisky and
pure grain alcohol. When replies have been
received from other States the following
list will be greatly extended: Those de-
barring both whisky and alcohol arc
Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas
and North Carolina; those dcbarring
whisky only, arc: Arkansas, Indiana,
Alabama, South Dakota and New Mexico.
From information that VIC have re-
ceived we are led to believe that 95 per
cent Of the druggists in the State Of Della
ware, do not desire to sell whisky for any
purpose. Fifteen druggists, representing
the retail druggists Of the State, went to
Dover during the Legislature and in q
conference there, stated that they did not
wish to sell whisky. There WAS only one
druggist who made q request for that
privilege and that was Mr.. Danforth,
wholesale druggist Of Wilmington.
"We feel sure when the physicians of
our State know the true situation, that
most Of them will take the same attitude
as have the druggists As l stated above, it
was the intention of the trainers Of the law
ito prohibit the sale of whisky for any and
all purposes and we intend to do every
thing in our power to see that that pro-
vision stays in the laws Of the. State OF
Delaware.
Sincerely yours,
'E. G. Prettyman
Superintendent Peninsula District.

the provisions of the Klair law, we refer
