FILL MEDICINE
WITH ALCOHOL
Prohibition Director Stone WIN Re-
fuse Deliveries to Certain
Patent SCure.Alls,"

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Ralnh ".
Stone, prohibition director for this
district, announced today that
henceforth alcohol deliveries will
be refused to manufacturers of five
well known patent medicines.
Numerous other proprietary med
icines, the manufacturers of which
are alleged to have done business
on a grand scale since the advent
OF prohibition, will be added to the
list soon, Mr.. Stone said. He esti-
mated that in the last six months
of 1920 his Office issued 5000 per-
mits in Illinois alone to manufac-
turers Of patent medicines to obtain
alcohol.
The new ruling does not revoke
permits now held, but no more
withdrawal permits for the release
of alcohol to manufacturers on the
banned list will be approved, MIR.
Stone said.
Mr.. Stone said some of the prod
ucts blacklisted today contain al
most as high a percentage Of alco-
hol as whisky and lately many
cases Of these particular brands
have been discovered by his agents
for sale in saloons.
