20 prevent sales OF liquor for bever-
age instead OF medicinal purposes.
At the conclusion % the meeting
an endorsement was given the bill.
by a vote which was unanimous. eX-
cept for one member This member
declared himse'f In favor OF the act
In principle. but stated he concidered
that II was inoppor'une 10 press the
measure upon the Legislature.
II was considered best. in taking
up the measure IS drafted. 20 elm Z

practicable. then upon best infor- /
nation obtsinsble. that he Cthe .

This clause was viewed as loop
hoe for sale by INSCRIPTIONS phv-
sicisns Of liquor by prescription a. 2
