Helena, Mont., July 7,——Uongrens‘ once having said that alcohol can be | used for medical purposes, cannot now dictate to the physician as to the number of whisky prescriptions | he shall write or the quantity he| | shall preseribe, Federal Judge George | M. Bourquin held yesterday. In his decision, which said part| of the prohibition act was unconsti- tutional, Judge Bourquin invalidated | the, prosecution of Dr. J. B. Freud | of Butte, who, it was charged, issued more than 100 prescriptions within | a ninety-day period and prescribed | more than one-half pint of alcohol to one patient in ten days. | Whe decision, in substance, held that Congress could not substitute its judgment for that of the physiclan, | ruling similariy to IKederal Judge | Knox of New York, who on May 9 last granted an order restraining pro- | hibition authorities from interfering with the practice of Dr. Samuel W. Lambert with respect to the amount of whisky whieh might be pre- scribed to one patient, Judge Bourquin's ruling, however goes further and holds that the por- tion of the Volstead act which seeks to limit the number of prescriptions | fs invalid, as well as that portion| limiting the quantity prescrbed., The invalid sectlon with reference to the numebr of prescriptions is ‘“nothing | !but an arbitrary restriction upon thw‘ | number of patients a physician® shall | treat In ordinary course of circum- | stances, or is an unreasonable man- date to malpractice in respect to them,” read the.court's decision. Continuing, the court said “that if | therapeutics were an exact sflnncn' available diagnosis and patlents were al constituted alike,” the provision arbitrarily fixing the amount of al- cohol which could be prescribed | might be valid, but “since in respect | to all these factors the truth is otherwise, every patient presenting to the physician a different problem for | solution, this provision if the statute | is invalid.” The decision follows: “It may be that even as legislation | for reasons of health can compel vac- cination, it might in like behalf extend | prohibition of alcohol for therapeutic uses. But so long as legislation toler- ates or sunctions such use of alcohol, the duty and judgment of the physi- cian, the necessity and welfare of the patient and the ri¥ht of both, cannot be subjected to arbitrary and unrea- sonable legislative Interference I1ko the statutory provision aforesaid. “The physiclan with unrestricted power to begin a course of treatment must have like power to finish it Otherwise there may be dangers great- ar than invoived by denial by any power, for the latter might be sup- plied by substitutes. These statutory i provisions to restrain the judgment of physicians in the exercise of power to which deprive physl- cians and patlents of liberty without |due process of law within the meaning |of the fifth amendment, are unconsti- tutional.” The court held that the bureau of |internal revenue had the power through its regulations to cope with abuse of the use of alcohol without at- |tempting to dictate to the physician in the treatment of cases where al- ’mho\ was pre Rev.

TWO YOUNG SISTERS DIE, ATE FIREWORKS ON DARE Coroner’s July Will Investigate Sud- den Death of Girls of 8 and 4 in Chlfi-go, Chicago, July 7.—~A coroner's jury is to determine tho cause of the death of two young sisters who died within a few hours yesterday after they had caten some poisonous fireworks on a “dare” of playmates. The girls were Ellen McDanlel, age 8, and Marion, age 4, daughters of Mr. «and Mrs. William F. McDanfel. It was thought at first that the poi- soning was caused by food, but their mother insisted that her three other children had eaten of the same dishes and were not affected. It was then that the report was made that Ellen and Marion had eaten fireworks on a “dare.” EDGE BACKS UP COUZENS And Says “a Good Many” Other Sen- ators Are For Beer Detroit, Mich., senate agree with Senator James |Couzens in his declaration for a non- | intoxicating beer of not more than 5 |per cent alcoholic content, Senator | Edge of New Jersey declares in a letter recelved by Mr. Couzens today.; lin which he says: “Everybody is for enforcement of the law, but when a law deliberately violates the intent-of the constitution itself 1t is almost time to re-write it It is always difficult to secure sup- port to modify what is looked upon as a moral issue, but, in my judg- [ment, it is almost immoral to at- tempt to egforce a law that specifies one-half of one percent of alcohol as intoxicating. “The constitution prohibits intoxi- tn"ng beverages and has nothing to say about alcoholic beverages.
