| OLD TIME COLD j
j CURE—DRINK TEA! |
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonfui of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores, relieving
congestion. Also loosens the bowels,
thus breaking a cold at once.
It is inexpensive and entirely vege

NEW DRUG LAW BECOMES
OPERATIVE MARCH 1
Revenue Measure Approved by Congress
and Now in Effect Restricts the
Sale of "Habit Forming" Med-{
icines
A new drug law, which is osaeutially
a revenue measure but. which will also
have a far reaching effect in restrict- j
ing the sale of certain mcd'Vmcs fa- i
miliarly known as "habit forming"
drugs, becomes operative on March j
1. me law is drastic and effects jlhysi-1
cians, dentists, veterinarians, private ]
hospitals, dealers anil manufacturers.]
Under this law physicians, dentists, 1
veterinarians and others who wish to J
dispeuse, prescribe or sell the many ]
drugs and medicines" included in this i
'class are required to make applies- j
ti'on to the collector of the internal rev- j
enue or of the district for regis- j
tralion upon blanks to be obtained from
such collector and pay a required tax.
The act makes it unlawful for any
persons, even one who has registered
and jiaid the special tax to sell,- barter,
exchange or give away any of the afore
said drugs exce.pt in pursuance of a
written order on a form to be sup
plied by the collector of internal rev
enue.
The provision requiring order forms
however does not apply to t'he dis
pensing or distribution by physicians,
dentists anil veterinarians who register
under this act and who keep a record
of the drugs dispensed and distributed
to patients whom they do not person
ally alttend.
The provision requiring official order
also does not apply to t'he sale, dispens
ing or distribution by a dealer who has
registered under this act upon the pre
scription of a physician, dentist.or
veterinarian, provided the prescription
is da/ted on the day it is signed, re
ceipted for by the person presenting the
prescription and preserved for two
years for official inspection.
Any person who violates or fails to
comply with the requirements of the
ac/t shall, on convictiou, be fined not
more than $2,000 or )>• imprisoned not
more than five years.
Druggists claim that under this law
'they Vill not be allowed to refill pre
scriptions written previous to the time
the law goes into effect.
The law will have a very beneficial
result in restraining the indiscriminate
sale and use of such drugs a« cocaine,
morphine, heroin, laudanum, opium,
I chloral, e'tc., familiarly known as
"do[>e" or habit-forming drugs.
A number of druggists, however, have
not waited for the enactment of a l*w
restricting the sale of such drugs. One
druggist in particuar in Harri»hurg,
George A. Gorgas, has announced in
j the daily newspapers on different occa
! sions tfcit he would not sell dangerous
{ or habit-forming drugs except on the
11 written prescription of a reputable
physician.
