...mounted by our automobile exporters. First of these is the high Brit- ish horsepower tax of almost $5 per horsepower-or $100 annually, even on a Ford. The tax yields the hard-pressed British Treasury about $65 million each year, and amounts to enough on each car to restrict con- siderably their widespread ownership. Moreover, gasoline retails at about 45 cents a gallon, which makes running expenses high. U. S. cars are built without especial consideration for their consumption of gasoline, where British cars are especially constructed to be economical of fuel. Yet U.

...physician's license to prescribe alcohol. It is well-known that most of the liquor dispensed by druggists on physicians' prescriptions is not intended for the treatment of the sick. Whatever we, as individuals, may think of the Volstead Law, we are morally bound to restrict prescriptions to medicinal purposes. Selling one's prescription blanks to the druggist is worse than fee splitting, and should be cause for exclusion from membership in the American Medical Association!" Subcostalgia. The surgical section heard Dr. Marshall Clinton, associate professor of surgery in the University of Buffalo, describe a condition called...
