one-eighth of a grain of heroin or of any of its salts, (e)
not more than one-half of a grain of extract of cannabis nor
more than one-half of a grain of any more potent deriva-

(2) Prescribing, administering, compounding, dispens-
ing or selling at retail of liniments, ointments, and other
preparations, that are susceptible of external use only and
that contain narcotic drugs in such combinations as prevent
their being readily extracted from such liniments, oint-
ments, or preparations, except that this sub-title shall apply
to all liniments, ointments, and other preparations that
contain coca leaves in any quantity or combination.

(3) The exemptions authorized by this section shall be
subject to the following conditions:

(a) The medicinal preparation, or the liniment, oint-
ment, or other preparation susceptible of external use only,
prescribed, administered, dispensed, or sold, shall contain,
in addition to the narcotic drug in it, some drug or drugs
conferring upon it medicinal qualities other than those
possessed by the narcotic drug alone.

(b) Such preparation shall be prescribed, adminis-
tered, compounded, dispensed and sold in good faith as a
medicine, and not for the purpose of evading the provisions
of this sub-title.

(4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit
the kind and quantity of any narcotic drug that may be
prescribed, administered, compounded, dispensed, or sold,
to any person or for the use of any person or animal, when
it is prescribed, administered, compounded, dispensed, or
sold, in compliance with the general provisions of this sub-
title.

2851. Every physician, dentist, veterinarian, or other
person who is authorized to administer or professionally
use narcotic drugs, shall keep a record of such drugs re-
ceived by him, and a record of all such drugs administered,
dispensed, or professionally used by him otherwise than
by prescription. It shall, however, be deemed a sufficient
compliance with this section if any such person using small
quantities or solutions or other preparations of such drugs
for local application, shall keep a record of the quantity,
character, and potency of such solutions or other prepara-
tions purchased or made up by him, and of the dates when
purchased or made up, without keeping a record of the
amount of such solution or other preparation applied by
him to individual patients.
