CHICAGO. July 16.-The recent de- cision of Federal Judge George Bour- quin at Helena, Mont. holding un- constitutional that portion of the Nolstead act limiting the amount of alcoholic liquor that may be pre- scribed by a physician Is absolutely correct" and will have the indoTse- ment of the American medical profes- sion. according to statement made by Dr. William Allen Pusey, presi- dent of the American Medical associa- ton, here today.
 Medicine is science" said Dr. Pusey, and If alcohol is a medicine it Is as illogical for law-making body to say how it shall be used, as for such a body to attempt to regulate the use of quinine or any other medicine. I believe that the Montana decision is very important, and that the body of the American medical profession, regardless of wet or dry personal sentiment, will agree with Judge Bourquin's holding"
