Opinion

Opinion by

Judge HaRGis:

It was not necessary for the defendant to make out for himself a prescription and preserve it as a protection from prosecution, because he proves that he was a regular physician, kept the drug store himself, and prescribed the medicine in good faith to Hagood. The court, in view of those facts, correctly instructed the jury.

Wherefore the judgment is affirmed.
