That's because the state's Medical Examining Board passed regulation banning the prescription of these drugs for all but a few specialized purposes. A physician faces loss of his license if he disobeys. The action followed a study by an enterprising state official, David Joran-son, who learned that eight Milwaukee doctors had prescribed 250,000 of one type of amphetamine pills in one year-more than 80 per cent of the total In Milwaukee County.
