Primary support: H. Rept. 17 (1933), printed p. 7, reproducing section 2 of the November 23, 1921 supplemental act as existing law proposed for amendment.
The act supplemental to the National Prohibition Act approved November 23, 1921 restricted prescriptions to spirituous and vinous liquor, capped vinous liquor at 24 percent alcohol by volume, limited the alcohol supplied to a patient within ten days, and generally limited physicians to one hundred prescription blanks per ninety days absent an approved extraordinary reason.
Complete report reviewed; relevant text verified on printed page 7.
State the original statutory measures carefully: vinous liquor could not exceed 24 percent ABV; no more than one-quarter gallon of vinous liquor or liquor containing more than one-half pint of alcohol separately or in aggregate could be supplied to a person within ten days.
The reproduced statutory text gives the limits and the extraordinary-reason exception directly.
This is a precise regulatory milestone within the broader medicinal-whiskey system.
