383. Nothing in said two preceding sections shall be construed to pre-
vent the compounding or sale of any such liquors for medicinal purposes
by a pharmacist or druggist who shall or may obtain a license under the
"license law of the 'State, upon the written bona fide prescription of a reg-
ular practicing physician, whose name shall be signed thereto; and all
such prescriptions shall be filed and kept by the pharmacist or druggist;
and no prescription shall serve for more than one purchase; but no phy-
.sician shall make or sign any such prescription unless the person for whom
it is made is actually sick, and such liquor is absolutely required as a
medicine. Any physician who shall make or sign any prescription for

such liquor, except as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty of a violation of

said section, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than fifty
dollars nor more than two hundred dollars for the first offense, and not
less than two hundred nor more than five hundred dollars for each sub-
sequent offense; and if the buyer shall obtain a prescription by misrepre-

sentation, he shall likewise be deemed guilty of a violation of said section,
and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to the same fines as the phy-
sician who shall violate the same; the one-half of said fines to be paid
to the informer, and the residue to the Board of Public School Commis-
sioners of Anne Arundel County, for the use of the public schools; and
said violators shall be committed to the county jail of said county till

such fines and costs are paid; but nothing herein contained shall be con-
strued to prohibit a sale by a pharmacist or druggist, in case of extreme
illness, when delay may be dangerous to the patient.

the same, in preparing warrants, presentments and indictments, shall al-
lege therein such previous conviction, and it shall be the duty of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court to furnish such information to the State's At-
torney and grand jury; but it shall not be necessary to set forth particu-
larly in any such presentment or indictment the record of the former con-
viction, but it shall be sufficient to allege briefly that said person, com-

particular provision of said sections, or any of them. Any such indict-
