Primary support: H. Rept. 17 (1933), printed p. 6, reproducing sections 7–8 of the then-current National Prohibition Act while marking proposed deletions and additions.
Under the National Prohibition Act’s medicinal-liquor provisions as reproduced in the 1933 House report, prescriptions required a permitted physician acting on a medical examination or best available information; physicians kept prescribed records, and pharmacists canceled filled prescriptions.
Complete report reviewed; relevant text verified on printed page 6.
The report presents existing text together with proposed 1933 amendments; use only the roman or bracketed text identified as existing law for the pre-amendment system.
The statute text directly describes physician permits, examination, records, prescription forms, and pharmacist cancellation.
Supports the infrastructure model without implying that every prescription was lawful or that enforcement was uniform.
