Washington, Feb. 4.—The amount of hard liquor a sick man may ac- quire legally is definitely fixed by statute, but the only limit to the amount of wine he may obtain is the “sound and honest” judgment of his physician and, perhaps, the depth of his purse. Prohibition Commissioner Kramer, in a formal announcement today, says there seemed to be some confu- sion as to the quantity of wine that a physician may prescribe. To clear up all doubts he lays down this rule: “Until further orders physicians may prescribe in their practice such quantities of wine as they, in the ex- ercise of their sound and honest judgment deem necessary in the par- ticular case, if- they in good faith believe that the use of wine as a med- icine by the person for whom it is prescribed is necessary and will .af- ford relief to him -from some known ailmen Mr. Kramer warned that physicians should use “‘extraordinary care’” not to abuse the right given them" and state directors were told -to ‘“guard this matter most carefully to the ef- fect that the said privilege be . not abused Ly any physicians.” LAUGH AT IRISH CLAIMS British Admiralty That Sinn Fein Submarine K-5.
