DOCTORS ASKING TO GET MORE WHISKEY Physicians in Petition Urge Wider Limit for Bottlc(l-ln-fiond Liquor, ‘Washington, Rec. 7.—Petitions urg- ing an exemption by the treasury of bottled-in-bond whiskeys from the quantitative limitation placed on whis- key stocks which druggists may buy during each quarterly period have been filed with Secretary Mellon and Commissioner Blair by representatives of the American Medical association, The presént regulations limit retail druggists to 100' gallons of all kinds of spirituous liquors for each three months and hold the wholesale druggist to purchase of ligours not excpeding 10 per cent. of his gross business turnover, Secretary Mellon was told, it was said that if druggists were permitted to carry stocks of bottled-in-bond whiskeys sufficient to meet their re- quirements’ outside of the 100 gallon limitation there would be very little “home made” or. “drugstore made" whiskeys used. Advocates of the change, were said to have suggested that: all of the_ bottied-in-hoaa. whiss key now is yre than five yecrs old the last having Been hut".le the ’ . and the granting of permission to carry bottled-in-bond stocks as need- ed would Insure supplies of . high- grade whiskeys for the filling of pre- scriptions. The Medical Association representer- tives were said to have informed Mr. Mellon that there would be an ample supply of pint and half-pint bottled in-bond whiskeys, and to have argued that since the liquor so handled is more edsily.accounted for through se- rial numbers than is ‘“bulk” liquor, the change in the regulations would serve as an aid to enforcement. It was declargd in the argument that un- der the present permi-arrangement unscrupulous druggists may buy alco- hol or inferior grades of whiskey.and mix it to guit themselves and the pur- chasers may have prescriptions filled with liqupr of a poor quality.
