1366 HARFOBD COUNTY. [AET. 13.

Public General Laws, title "Licenses," upon the written bona
fide prescription of a regular practicing physician of said
county, whose name shall be signed thereto; and all such
prescriptions shall be filed by said druggist or pharmacist
and kept by him, and no prescription shall serve for more
than one purchase; but no physician shall make or sign any
such prescription unless the person for whom it shall be
made is actually sick, or such liquor is absolutely required as a
medicine. Any physician who shall make or sign any prescrip-
tion for such liquor, except as aforesaid, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not
less than fifty dollars nor more than three hundred dollars, and
costs of prosecution, and be committed to the county jail of said
county until such fine and costs of prosecution are paid; and if
the buyer shall obtain a prescription by misrepresentation, he
shall likewise be deemed guilty of a violation of this sub-title of
this article, and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to the
same penalties which are set forth in section 230; but nothing
in the preceding sections shall be construed to prohibit a sale
by a pharmacist or druggist of such liquors to be used by or for a
sick person, in case of extreme illness, when delay may be
dangerous to the patient, nor to prevent the sale by a pharmacist
or druggist of wine to be used for sacramental purposes solely.
