thereto  as  herein  provided  and  were  not  in  any  manner  defaced  or  damaged,

North  Carolina  (1907). — Similar  to  the  District  of  Columbia  law,  includ- 
ing, however,  eucaine,  but  exempting  chloral  hydrate.  Certain  differences 
also  exist,  namely,  the  exemption  of  Dover's  powder,  unconditionally,  and 
preparations  containing  not  more  than  J/$  grain  of  cocaine,  or  l/$  grain 
eucaine,  or  *4  grain  heroin  to  the  fluid-  or  avoirdupois  ounce.  The  law  of 
this  state  contains  the  peculiar  proviso  that  a  druggist  may  sell  these 
products  to  habitues  personally  known  to  him,  although  physicians  are 
apparently  forbidden  to  write  prescriptions  for  habitues.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  also  that  the  law  of  1905  exempts  sales  of  laudanum  and  paregoric 
or  other  preparations  containing  not  more  than  30  per  cent,  of  cocaine, 
morphine  or  opium.
