Chicago prohibition chief Dr. Ralph W. Stone announced that alcohol deliveries will be refused to five major patent medicine manufacturers and more firms will be added soon. He noted 5000 Illinois permits were issued last half of 1920 to obtain alcohol for these products. The proprietary association of about two hundred firms plans to push for eliminating permit withdrawals for non beverage alcohol used in whiskey substitutes. Some listed products contain high alcohol percentages and have appeared for sale in saloons.
