ART. 12.] GARRETT COUNTY. 831

SEC. 18. And be it further enacted, That it shall be unlawful
for any doctor or physician to issue a prescription for intoxi-
cating liquors, except in writing, or in any case unless the per-
son for whom it is issued is actually sick, or such liquor is re-
quired as a medicine. Every prescription for intoxicating
liquors shall contain the name and quantity of liquor pre-
scribed, the name of the person for whom prescribed, the date
on which the prescription is written and directions for use of
the liquor so prescribed, and it shall be unlawful for any doctor
or physician who has been convicted of issuing verbal prescrip-
tions for intoxicating liquors or of issuing prescriptions for in-
toxicating liquor, knowing the same to be for use as a bever-
age, or of issuing prescriptions that do not in form comply
with this Act, thereafter to issue any prescription for intoxi-
cating liquor for any purpose for a period of two years from the
date of such conviction. Every prescription issued in violation
of the provisions hereof shall be held to be an unlawful selling,
and on conviction therefor the person issuing same shall be
punished accordingly.

SEC. 19. And be it further enacted, That nothing in this Act
shall be construed to forbid or prevent the sale within anti-
saloon territory by a druggist of pharmacist of liquor for
medical or sacramental purposes only, or of alcohol for medici-
nal, chemical or mechanical purposes only; not to be drunk
upon the premises under any circumstances; provided, the fol-
lowing requirements are fully complied with and such druggist
or pharmacist in good faith shall keep a true and exact record
in a book which he shall provide for the purpose, in which shall
be entered at the time of every sale of intoxicating liquors made
by him, or in or about his place of business to all persons
whomsoever, the date of such sale, the name of the purchaser,
who shall also sign his name in said book as a part of said
entry, and his residence, stating the street and house number
if there be such, the kind, quantity and price of such liquor, the
purpose for which it was sold; and when the sale is for medici-
nal purposes, the book shall also contain the name of the physi-
cian issuing the prescription therefor. Such prescriptions shall
be cancelled by writing on it the word "cancelled," and the date
on which it was presented and filed, and kept on file. No pre-
scription shall be filed a second time. Such book shall be in
form substantially as follows:
