to, or for the use of, the same purchaser or purchasers with-
in a period of twenty-four hours, which exceed in the ag-
gregate the limits herein fixed, shall be taken as prima facie
evidence of an intent to violate the terms of such license.

Distillers and brewers shall require no license for the
conduct of their business or to sell beer or other beverages
of alcoholic content in wholesale quantities as herein de-

have or exercise any license for the sale of beer or other
beverages of alcoholic content for consumption on the
premises.

No license shall be issued under the provisions of this
Act to wholesale or retail druggists, but nothing herein
