such by any State or Territory under its laws, though not incorporated or chartered, upon the same terms and subject to the same restrictions and penalties, already provided by said section thirty-two hundred and ninety-seven: Provided further, That the bond required thereby may be executed by any officer of such university or college, or by any other person for it, and on its behalf, with two good and sufficient sureties, upon like conditions, and to be approved as by said section is provided.

NOTE-The privilege of withdrawing alcohol in bond for the purposes above specified is held to apply to all institutions of learning, created and constituted as such under any state or territorial law, and to hospitals, similarly created and having connected therewith a training school for nurses, or where clinical lectures are delivered.

In all such cases, however, the alcohol obtained must be used solely for the purposes specified in the statutes, viz., for preserving specimens of anatomy, physiology, or natural history belonging to such institution or for use in its chemical laboratory.

The use of the alcohol outside of the chemical laboratory (except for the preservation of the specimens named) will, under no circumstances, be allowed; and its use in the chemical laboratory must be such as either to secure its actual destruction, as when burned in a spirit lamp, or destroy its identity as alcohol, as in making extracts, preparing ether, or chloroform, or compounding pharmaceutical preparations to be used exclusively in the treatment of patients in the hospital to which the chemical laboratory is attached, and not to be sold to any person whatever.

The term "chemical laboratory," employed in the statute, is also held not to include "physical", "mechanical", "electrical", or "pathological" laboratories, or any other laboratory which has been developed since Febuary 21, 1873, when the law was passed from which said section 3297 was taken, where such laboratories are separate and distinct departments, although in the same building or room in which the chemical laboratory of the institution is located.
