sale of spirituous or fermented liquors, alcoholic bitters or intoxicating
drinks in Kent county, for medicinal purposes, by a regular pharmacist
and druggist having a license for such business under the laws of this
State; provided, such sale be made only upon the written bona, fide pre-

name of the person for whom the liquor, alcoholic bitters or other intoxi-
cants are prescribed, the kind and quantity of the same, the date on which
the prescription is made, and the full ordinary name of the physician
making it, all written in ink; the date of filling such prescription shall bo

same, in ink, who shall file and keep all such prescriptions filed separate
from all other prescriptions and exhibit the same to the State's attorney or
any grand jury or justice of the peace of said county, calling for the pro-
ducing thereof; and no such prescription shall serve for more than one pur-
chase. No physician shall make or sign any such prescription, unless the
person for whom it is made is actually sick, or such liquor or alcoholic bit-
ters or intoxicants is absolutely required as a medicine. In no case shall a

cating drinks obtained under such prescription to be drunk any where on
his premises except in cases of sudden illness. All pharmacists and drug-
gists shall be liable for the acts of their clerks, agents and assistants, with
reference to the matters and things herein embraced; nothing, however,
herein contained shall be construed to prohibit a sale by such pharmacist
and druggist in cases of extreme illness when delay would be dangerous;
any pharmacist and druggist or physician violating any provisions or
requirement of this section, shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and on convic-
tion thereof, shall be fined the sum of not less than fifty dollars nor more
than three hundred dollars for every such offence, and shall stand com-
mitted until such fine and costs of prosecution are paid.
