It was on page 2B News Tribune LOOKING BACK 100 years ago Wednesday May 25th:

100 YEARS AGO TODAY
May 25, 1916:
Almost everybody in Ruston is a "mechanic" according to the records of a pharmacy on Pearl Street which shows $75 worth of sales (an average of 60 sales) of alcohol for "mechanical purposes." County authorities captured a large quantity of intoxicants.

That is it in entirety. Amazingly May 25, 2016 the same insanity is capturing a recreational herb THC also known as marijuana much to the glee of the Mexican drug lords.

Those were the days when the pharmacist would listen to your ailment and mix a potion for you. Only Doctor was at the smelter.
