Not With Suicidal Intent, but for Cash

The offer of a weekly salary to persons
willing to take poison Systematically In the
interest of science is made by DR.. Timothy
F. Allen, director of the laboratory of exper-
mental pharmacology and dean of the New
York Homeopathic College and Hospital,
says the New York Herald. DR.. Allen be-
lieveS there is a great field for investigation
in the uses and properties of drugs which
are at present little understood by the med
ical world.
Already he has had money enough put at
his disposal TO begin the proving of the
power of drugs in small way by the en-
ployment of a number of men and women
as pr0yers by actual experiments on them
selves. Later the doctor hopes to get money
enough to employ still more prOvers and
eventually to have a laboratory built for him
where he can broaden the scope OF his in
vestigations in the same line.
DR.. Allen has engaged all the applicants
he can afford to just now as experimental
proyers. Nearly all of them are young ply
sicians of either sex. In one case young
doctor aud his wife were engaged together.
making an addition of $40 weekly to their
income. Medical men are preferred because
they can keep track of their own symptoms
from day to day. They are requested to re-
port at the college with their daily notes at
least once week AS soon as their symp-
toms become such as 10 show that the drug
used is doing them harm its use will be
stopped aud the symptoms noted.
Among other drugs whose affinities DR..
Allen wishes to ascertain is the cedrom,
nut highly priced at the Isthmus of Darien
for its efficacy in cases of Panama fever;
another is the alatrica, plant found here
abOuts. and especially on Long Island,
which is generally supposed to furnish the
most bitter drug in existence; the lichen,
which grows ON rocks and trees, and which
is believed To have marked action on the
respiratory organs, will also be tested, as
well as some Of the old drugs contained in
the materia medica.
The provers will not be allowed TO know
what drug Is being tried upon them, and
they will be deceived in every way possible
as to the nature of the poison they are
taking, for fear of the imaginary symptoms
they might thus be led to report, INSTEAD Of
the true effects of the drug.
