Syllabus

<p>Intoxicating Liquors—Sales—Statutes—Implied Repeal. The pharmacy act, Rem. & Bal. Code, § 8459, relating to the drug business and authorizing the sale of spirituous liquors by druggists for medical purposes, does not impliedly repeal Rem. & Bal. Code, § 6275, relating to the sale and disposal of intoxicating liquors and requiring sales by druggists for medical purposes to be upon the written prescription of a reputable physician; since repeals by implication are not favored, and this rule has special application where the laws relate to different subjects.</p> <p>Intoxicating Liquors — Sales—Licenses—Druggists—Prescriptions. Rem. & Bal. Code, § 8459, amending the pharmacy law so as to provide that “no other license shall be necessary under any ordi-. nance of any city” to make sales of intoxicating liquors under the pharmacy act, merely means that the state law 'shall govern, and was not intended to authorize sales without a state license and physician’s prescription.</p>
