THE ABUSE OF NARCOTICS.

Without going SO far rs to affirm the
neutrality-suspicious. that set is now

of middle age who is not more or less
addicted To the abuse Of morphia,
chloral, bromide of potassium; or other
sleep inducers or pain believers, we
agree with the Laucers that such drugs
are in too common use. We doubt,
however, wether there is much profit
in warning people against them.
There can be few who do not know
that Il frequent resort to narcotics,
whether for one purpose or another
almost inevitable creates II permanent
craving which al last renders the vic
tim perfectly reckless of consequences
This is rs fally recognized as tina, ex
cessive indulgence in stimuiants or
tea or tobacco produces Injurious effect
on tho constitution. In spite of that
knowledge, however, men continue
in drinking until they become dipso-
mauics, or smoking until nicotine
poisoning sets in, while men,
bers of the other sex still ruin their
nervous system by continual tea. Our
contemporary says timely word,
however, when depreca,ing the too
frequent prescription of narcotics by
medical practitioners. 1t is often the
doctor who frst teaches the bad habit
and once taught 1t is ms difficult then
to shake off as opium smoking. That
