How People 1nstihotivs1y shstns from
I Drugs Containing n6orphia and Opium
"a Reporter'si Researohss. IS
From the Washing ton Daily Post
For many years physicians have been
much exercised over the use; of drugs
and medicines containing opiates or poi
sons. Opium smoking BY the Chinese
and the introduction Of the habit into
America is an evil which. has been sought
to be remedied, and the police Of Phila-
aelphia have recently made successful.
raids on opium "joints" and arrested the
proprietors. A more insidious form Of
poison than this, however, and one which
largely affects not only the health but the
lives Of children, is that which comes in
the form of popular medicines, Nine
out Of ten of these, it is known, contain
narcotics or deadly metallic oxides. The
difficulty, however, las been to find
substitute for such things which would
be purely vegetable, and ct the same
time effect a prompt cure. That such
q discovery had been made was an
nounced recently, and, DR.. O.. Grothe,
chemist to the Brooklyn Board Of
Health, and graduate Of the Univer-5
sity of Kiel, Germany, publicly certi-
fed that he had analysed the remedy
and found it free from narcotics, OPT
ates or injurious metallic oxides, and a
harmless and happy combination, which
will prove highly effective. Hearing
that DR.. Samuel K Cox, o graduate of
Yale. and expert analytical chemist Of
this city had also analysed the ;reme-
dy in question and given public testi-
mony, as to: it's purity and efficacy, re-
porter Of The Post was told BY him that
be had given such certificate, and
that he believed the remedy marked q
new stage in the treatment ,lof thr oat and
lung diseases. He knew also that many
public men in Washington had given
the remedy a trial, and felt confident If
they were called upon that they would
cheerfully indorse it. One Of them was
Hon. J. O.. s. Black burn, Senator elect
from Kentucky. Mr.. Blackburn, on
being approached, said he had used the
remedy with marked effect and found
great benefit, especially during his .oc-
cupancy of the Speakers chair. 1T had
removed all irritation from I his throat
and relieved cough which had troubled
him much. ,. 4. 81: 81 Z,
