Existing statutory recordkeeping language reproduced in the 1933 report.
“Any pharmacist filling a prescription shall at the time indorse upon it over his own signature the word ‘canceled’, together with the date when the liquor was delivered, and then make the same a part of the record that he is required to keep as herein provided. Every physician who issues a prescription for liquor shall keep a record, alphabetically arranged in a book prescribed by the commissioner, which shall show the date of issue, amount prescribed, to whom issued, the purpose or ailment for which it is to be used and directions for use, stating the amount and frequency of the dose.”
