Public demand to name beer adulterers and curb drugging
A Times discussion urges publishing the names of those convicted of adding coculus indicus or deleterious substances to beer.

Proposals include heavy penalties, public tablets on pubs, prison after repeats, and cooperative brewing stores as an alternative solution.
