Supreme Court of Pennsylvania November 7, 1887, No. 143, W. D. (Walker v. Commonwealth)

Per Curiam:

This case is ruled by Powell v. Com. 114 Pa. 265, 60 Am. Rep. 350, 7 Atl. 913, so far as the question of the police power of the state is concerned. We were of opinion there, as we are now, that the legislature has the power to prohibit the manufacture and sale of an article detrimental to the public health.
