Prevents Manufacture

Amends Old Law Bear
ing Upon Prescriptions
by Physicians.

A Washington, June 1.-The
Volstead bill designed to pre-.
vent the use Of medical beer:
was agreed upon Wednesday
by the house judiciary commit
tee, which will report it to the
house, probably Thursday with
a request for its immediate
passage. Prohibition leaders
declared there were votes
enough to put it through be-
fore the bureau of internal rev.
enue could make effective pro-
posed regulations by which
beer could be prescribed for
the ailing under a ruling of for
mer Attorney General Palmer.
Although the measure as whole
would make the prohibition enforce
ment act more drastic, representatives
of the drug and flavoring extract trades
won their fight against a section re-
quiring the indicating or denaturing Of
alcohol prior to its withdrawal from
warehouses and distilleries for man
ufacturing purposes. These and other
trades declared such restrictions would
work hardship on legitimate indus
tries.

the committee, introduced late Wednes-

viii Not Outlaw Wine.
The re-drafted measure, while pIac-
ing certain restrictions around the use
of wines in medicines, did not include
the original provision which would
have outlawed wine as medicine
along with beer. 1t provides, however,
for the limitation Of alcohol withdraw
ais for medicines, and gives the COM
missioner authority, if he finds that
any preparation is being used as bev-
eraye, to require change of formula
so that it would be rendered actually
unfit for drinking.
The section relating to doctors,
which was virtually rewritten, fol-
lows:
Limit Is "a Per Cent.
''No physician shall prescribe, nor
shall any person sell or furnish on any
prescription any vinous liquor that con- /
tains more than "a per centum of alco-
hol by volume, nor shall anyone pre-
scribe or sell or furnish on any pre-
scription more than one-fourth of one
gallon Of vinous or any liquor that con-
tains more than one-half pint Of alco-
hol for use by any person within any
period Of 10 days.
100 Bottles In 80 Days.
mo physician shall be furnished
with more than 100 prescription blanks
for use in any period of 30 days, nor
shall any physician issue more than
that number Of prescriptions within
any such period, unless BY an applica-
ton therefor he shall make it clearly
apparent to the commissioner that for
some extraordinary result larger
number is necessary, whereupon the
necessary additional blanks will be fur
