signed thereto, and all such prescriptions shall be filled by such
Druggist or Pharmacist and kept by him and shall also keep a
book for the special purpose and enter therein the date of every
sale of intoxicating liquors made by him, the person to whom
sold, the kind, quantity and price thereof, and the purpose for
which it was sold; and any failure to comply with the provisions
of this Section, or to produce the book before any court of jus-
