WHISKEY PRESCRIPTIONS.
Total in Charlotte, N. 0., for 1907
Was 43,192?Some Interesting
Fa.cts?Significant Figures.
Charlotte Observer. i
After a laborious effort requiring !
more than a month of arduous work,
an aeeurate list and computation of I
the number of whiskey prescriptions
written during the year 1J)07 has just *
been prepared. A statement appearing
in the papers a few days ago
wa.s premature, unofficial us well as
ineorcel and that which herein ap- <
pears comes direct from those who I
made the tabulations nnd is also an- J
thorized. I
The total number of prescriptions
issued by Charlotte doctors during f
1907 amounts to 43,192. All tho pre- '1
script ions being tabulated on a basis '
id' quarts, it was discovered that the *
total number of quarts amounts to 1
39,035, The total beer certificates s
number 171 dozen bottles, figuring
that ilu.' whiskey sent out from the i
drug stores mi prescriptions sold at i
iin average price of $1.2"), it can be (
seen that the amount of money ex- :i
|tended for I lie total number is .$49,- ;
543.7"?.
The 174 dozen bottles of beer (
would likely average in price aibout (
I") cents per bottle, which would j
wnount (o a total of $853.20, showing ;
that the drug stores received for the s
sale of whiskey alone during the past [
year the grand total of $50,390.91), |
paying trilbute to the city at the rate \
r?f .$100 for the privllegv. Only 14
l!?ag ' 'lores were given the license to
ilo?al in whiskey, and therefore, the j
pity only received a revenue of $1,- |
100, while the drug stores received i
{if)0,390.90. J
The largest number of prescriptions
issue.I during the year by an invididual
physician) was -1.901, which
would make an average of about 13
i*n? '
tor every day in the entire year, including
Sundays. The second highest
on the list is 3,997; the third, 3,091;
I he fourth, 2,884; ihc fifth, 2,540; [
'!.< si x I It, 2,218; ilie seventh. 1.079; .
111.' eighth, 1.2.") I; the ninth. 1,250;
Hie tenth, 1.151; Ihc eleventh, .1,118; .
the twelfth, 980.
The phxsician who wrote 1,079 ,
whiskey prescriptions also wrote cer- j
(ideates for 21 dozen hollies of beer j
leading the list along this line. The j
one who wrote 1,254 whiskey pro- ?
-c: ip! :r lis wrote prescriptions for 20 j
dozen bottles. The flfoctor who is- |
sued lire 2,88-1 also wrote If) dozen |
beer prescript ions, and is one of Ihc
colored physicians of !hc city.
One of the leading and oldest physicians
ol the city wrole 20 prescrip- (
lions, another wrote 120, another 94.
Tlie records show mdliing further j
llial is unusual about the numbers,
aside from those already given. The kv
old rating which applies to every- |
thing applies lo the physicians, and
all I hose whose names appear on the ,
register can be classed as radicals,
conservatives and extremists. There t
probably little difference in the ,?\- ,
lent of the practice of '.lie doctor j
who wrote 4,901, and I he other who (
wrole 20, and the variance may bo
lue to I heir individual ideas about j
I he efficacy of alcohol.
One '.''lancing over tile .ecords finds <
; -Irani".' in.. is app.w ;! j
ha I. sotne of the druggists have been |
uisled and filled prescript ions upon (
the signatures of doctors who i.lo j
iol exist at all. This fs no reflection ;1
ipon their integrity as i| was impos- (
uible lor (hem to keep readily in mind ,
he names of every physician in con- ^
iguons territory to Chart otto. Phy- ft
sicians from flastonia, iConcord, (.
Monroe and all towns of such nearvess
to this city sent, prescriptions, |
1011a fide prescriptions, to be filled
lore, and if, occasionally a fellow
forged a name of a doctor non-exis- k<cut,
I lie discredit cannot be placed
igainst the druggists.
Upon lire records sent up from one \
1 rug store, the name of a doctor of
livinily appears as having authorized ]
<onie bearer to obtain one gallon of i
whiskey. This, of course, is an in- J
stance where I lie name of the minis- (
ler was forged by the holder and
thoughtlessly passed over by the .j
druggist, or a case where the mill- )
ister holds precisely Hie same name ,
and initial as some doctor in North I
Carolina. "* (
I'lie drug store standing at the <
head of the lisl in the nnniber of pre- i
script ions tilled sold a total of 5,579 (
quarts upon 0,203 prescriptions and i
also 23 dozen beers. The second j
highest stands at 5,938 quarts out of
O.S93 prescriptions, and also 13 doz- <
en beers; the third sold 5,50.8 quarts |
from 5,250 prescriptions and 151 d:?z- ;
en beers; the fourth sold 3,907 quarts
from 4.083 prescriptions and 10 doz- r
en beers. The remainder id" the stores
vary from 357 to 3,500 in the nunib.-r i
*>l total prescriptions iionored.
Figuring that the drug store, that i
sold 5,579 quarts received an averagv j
of $1.25 for a quart, a revenue of ap
pioxiinately +7.000 was derived from 4
tlit' sale of whiskey, whilo the license
Id the city was paid more than ?0111*
times with the 2>J dozen bottles of
boer sold.
The submission of these facts 011- ?
lilies the public to any deductions desired.
SAVED SHIP BY MIXING FLOUR |
How tho Captain of the Ethiopia
Kept Her Afloat.
Probably the largest loaf of bread
;vcr kneaded was that made by Caplain
Wilson, of the Anchor liner *
[Ethiopia, which has just been sold for
he junk heap, says the New York
World. The announcement of the
?vld of " foixngn account" of the
famous Atlantic packet begins the j
ant chapter in the JiiSitoiry of a vessel
that has outlived many a larger
uul more pretentious ship built of
steel. j
Few ships have survived after such
1 close call as the sturdy little half- onnd-stern
steamship had when she
ollided with an iceberg :is bin- as an
1 ere lot. The vessel had in her cargo
1 lot. of flour in sacks.
The Ethiopia had left New York jj
>11 June 2, 1S!M, bound for Glasgow.
>n the afternooin of June 0, whilo go111;
at three-quarter speed through ^
1 dense loir, she ihi't an iceberg, the 11
ihock throwing everybody off their S]
Vet. Tire passengers rushed for tire u
ifoboats, aind C'aptain Wilson, thou a,
iclieving the ship could not stay
1 flopt, ordered the boats swung out.
Her bows had been crushed el oar j
o tho collision bulkhead, which
icld. On receiving this report from
lis officers Captain Wilson asseni>led
the passengers in the main sa- lc
0011 and assured (.hem thai there was
to iminedaite danger. The carpenter
reported, however, lhat wo tor was
oining through I lie bulkhead at an
il.irmiu'j rale. K"aptai.n Wilson, ae ordinu"
to Shi]>ping Illustrated, renembered
how lie had often walclred
lis mot her mix bread and how sticky
lie .lough became.
Ho called all hands ordered them
0 leave oi l' praying and fall to. Hag
liter bag' of foluir was turned out of
ho maim hatch and carried forward
>y both crow and passengers. Abaft
he bulkhead the sacks were piled in
vers as closely as possible. The
mlkhcad was completely reinforced
>,v a wall of flour. "When the flour ^
locame saturated with the se>a water
lie resit 14 wns a bulwark as firm as
oment. u
The Ethiopia was put ahead at 1?
?ue-(|uarter speed. Then for two days 0
nore the crow worked shifting the o-,
argo all, so as !o lift the broken In
lows out of water. She was then n
forced a'hecul [ threie-VpirttJr spieenl. (.|
