Druggists and physicians are not exempt from the provisions of the law. They stand on the same footing with others.82 Sales of intoxicating liquors made by a practicing physician for medicine without a license or permit from the proper authorities are violations.83 But the contrary is held in some of the states.84 A statute permitting druggists to sell intoxicating liquors when the same is prescribed by a physician does not warrant a druggist who is a physician to sell liquors on his own prescription.85
