Medicinal whisky permits have
been issued and the list of licenses
disclosed that these will be handled
through the regular drug trade and
not in the politico-beer control.
The state law provides that a drug
store must be in business three
years before securing q whisky per-
nit. The entire whisky business also
is under federal governmental regu-
lationS.
Licenses Are Distributed
Licenses were in the hands of
both wholesalers and retailers today
and Fry said they will be able to sell
on doctors prescription as soon as
purchases are reported to his Office
and the 25-cent tax stamps pro-
cured. One stamp must be placed
on each pint sold at retail.
This tax is in addition to the
license levies for distillers, whole
salers, and retailers of whisky.
The whisky permits have renewed
interest for persons who were dis
couraged by the one-pint limit,
since that now has been lifted by
the federal government and no
regulation as to quantity to be
prescribed" has been laid down by
the state.
