Syllabus

The presence in the law of a provision interpreted by the state courts as forbidding physicians to furnish these drugs to drug-addicts otherwise, than through prescriptions does not bring-it into conflict with the federal “Anti-Narcotic” Revenue Act, not containing such restriction, since it does not prevent enforcement of the federal act. P. 45.</p> <p>144 Minnesota, 206, affirmed.</p>
