    The provisions of section 207 of this title shall not apply to 
preparations containing not more than two grains of opium or not more 
than one-quarter grain of morphine, or not more than one-quarter grain 
of cocaine, or not more than two grains of chloral hydrate in the fluid 
ounce, or, of a solid preparation, in one avoirdupois ounce, nor shall 
they apply to preparations sold in good faith for diarrhea and cholera, 
each bottle or package of which is accompanied by specific directions 
for use and caution against habitual use, nor to liniments or ointments 
sold in good faith as such when plainly labeled ``for external use 
only'', nor to powder of ipecac and opium, commonly known as Dover's 
powder, when sold in quantities not exceeding twenty grains. The 
provisions of this section or section 207 of this title shall not be 
construed to permit the selling, furnishing, giving away, or prescribing 
for the use of any habitual users of the same any cocaine, salts of 
cocaine, or preparation containing cocaine or salts of cocaine, or 
morphine or salts of morphine, or preparations containing morphine or 
salts of morphine, or any opium or preparation containing opium, or any 
chloral hydrate or preparation containing chloral hydrate. But the 
preceding sentence shall not be construed to prevent any recognized or 
reputable practitioner of medicine whose permanent allegiance is due to 
the United States from furnishing in good faith for the use of any 
habitual user of narcotic drugs who is under his professional care such 
substances as he may deem necessary for their treatment, when such 
prescriptions are not given or substances furnished for the purpose of 
evading the provisions of this section. But the provisions of this 
section or section 207 of this title shall not apply to sales at 
wholesale between jobbers, manufacturers, and retail druggists, 
hospitals, and scientific or public institutions.
