GrorDfhs Of MangroUes
Serue Good Purpose

The trees known as ''mangroyeS"
form dense thickets along the sea
coast in the tropics of the old world
as well as of the new. They are char
acterized by the production OF many
prop roots from the trunks and
branches; these prop roots reach into
the mud and form practically impene-
trable tangles. They thus serve to
hold the mud together and are said
TO act as natural sea walls, protecting
the soil against the inroads Of the sea.
The bark of the tree Is sometimes
taken for its abundance Of tanning
material; otherwise the several spe-
cies are of no economic Importance.
In many of these species the roots
branch repeatedly before reaching the
mud. instead of growing straight
down. The root divides into two
branches, one of which soon dies
away, while the other continues the
growth After extending for some
distance this also divides into two,
one of the branches persisting. and
SO on.

The injury causes new root to sprout

Dry Leaders Not Worried by Doctors
Suit to End Run, Prescription Curb
Supreme Courts Decision Upholding Ban on Beer
Medicine Cited-See Craze Abuses If
Whisky Limitation Is Removed.

Filing of a suit by Washington
physician to test the right of the Fed
eral Government to limit doctors in
the number Of liquor prescriptions
they may write apparently causes no
uneasiness in prohibition circles.
The decision last June by the Su-
preme Court of the United States up
holding the law prohibiting the pre-
scription of beer as medicine is be-
lieved by Anti-Saloon League leaders
to be guide to the decision which
VIII be given in the suit involving
whisky medication.
There is already pending in the
courts a suit by a New York physi-
clan raising the same issues as the
suit in the District Supreme Court.
Both doctors ask the right ito pre-
scribe whisky as often and in as large
amounts as they professionally please.
At present each physician is limited
to 100 prescriptions every 90 days
and allowed only one-half pint to a
patient in 10 days.
Millions OF Prescriptions.

wrote 11,268,469 prescriptions for
whisky or wine. In prescribing wine

for a license, and this license and
various laws definitely impose limits
upon his practice. The only ques-
tion, as they view 1t, Is whether a
reasonable restraint has been placed
upon the prescription Of liquor, not
whether the restraint itself is legal.
Should the present limitations be
removed, dry leaders feel the door
would be open for grave abuses. A
physician then might prescribe a gal
Ion or a barrel of liquor. The good
faith of a vast majority of physi-
clans is not queStioned, but facts
already gathered show that abuses
exist even under the existing COM
paratively narrow regulations. Many
physicians who have no inclination
to prescribe liquor are forced to do
so occasionally to prevent patients
from leaving them and going to
other physicians who will meet their
assumed needs.
In the Supreme Courts beer deci-
sion it was laid down that 1.-The Con-
stitution confers upon Congress the
power to make all laws necessary
and proper for carrying into execu-
tion all powers that are vested in it."
Then the - urt added: I'VE are un-
able &, sa. that the provision of the
supplemental act with regard to

able exercise OF the power vested in

and consultation with foremost doc
tors, say advocates of the law.
Moreover, if any physician finds that
he needs more than 100 prescriptions
in 80 days, he may apply to his State
prohibition director and receive per-
mission to issue a larger number. but
not a larger quantity per patient.
Two schools have developed among
doctors as to the medical value of
whisky. One school holds that the
best therapeutic effect can be OBJ
tanned by using alcohol with such
medicaments as may be needed spe-
officially, while the other school as
serts that the patients attitude
toward whisky makes it more effica-
cious to administer alcohol in that
form. There are, of course, more
than half the doctors in the United
States who do not prescribe liquor.
and SO do not enter into the argu-
ment as stated.
Both the original and the supple
mental Volstead acts are described
as more liberal in permitting medical
use of liquor than State prohibition
laws. More than half of the States
prohibit entirely the use Of whisky,
brandy and wine for medicinal pur-
poses. and 20 of the States forbid the
use of beer as medicine. Thus the
law not only would have to be upset
in the Supreme Court, but would have
to be overthrown in many State su-
preme courts to break down the pres
ent limitations.

of half a pint of whisky. An inter-
esting fact about the foregoing total
ia that the two States of New York
and Illinois accounted for 5.SO7,539
prescriptions, or more than one-half
of the number for the whole country.
There is noticeably propounced
tendency Of patients to require more
prescriptions at the Christmas and
New Year holiday periods than at
any other time in the year, say pro-
hibition StatisticianS.
The question as to the justice OF
limiting physicians by law is argued
by dry leaders in part as follows:
In 1921. $3.50 doctors had permits
to prescribe liquor; in 1922 the num-
ber was 44,346, and in 1928 the total
for the Nation had risen to 57,597.
These figures are cited to show that
the regulation of liquor for medicinal
purposes is problem of increasing
Importance. The total amount OF
whisky sold on prescription in 1923
was 1.347.573 gallons.
