Cocaine Is a drug which shares With

BILE credit Of developing habit" /. e.,
Of leading, by the beneficent effects ex-
perienced after small doses, to desire
for the repetition Of the 4elief; and as a
consequence the dose employed tends to
become greater, and the precautions
which, perhaps, were taken at first are
gradually relaxed. "Cocainism' is not
so Well recognized in this country as in
America, But II undoubtedly exists as
form of self-indulgence or as d prac-
tice which, like morphinisn, originally
employed as means Of alleviating
some chronic trouble, has ultimately
developed into form of self-indul-
gence, In which the need of restraint
and of precautionary measures are en-
tirely lost in the fascination Of the re-
lief afforded by the drug. In a recent
inquest the evidence, showed that the
drug had been originally prescribed for
the relief Of pain in the gums, and the
symptoms Immediately preceding the
termination were merely those Of col
lapse; there was no Indication Of the
amount employed or taken. In most
cases collapse is the most marked fea-
ture, and this symptom may arise when
the drug has been employed as local
application In the form of hypodermic
injection or spray, and may frequently
call for stimulant treatment after en-
ployment Of the spray In Iaryngeal ex-
aminations
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that true cocaine habit may be devel-
oped when the drug is taken internally
in any quantity, and that this condition
is occasionally marked by curious hal
lucinations and perverstons Of moral
sense, which, IL the use of the drug is
not discontinued, may lead to more Sc
rious central disturbances. The sum
mary Of the whole matter may be ex-
pressed in the proverb that fire is a
good servant, but a bad master" Co
caine, or any other drug which allays
pain, has its limitations, and these are
reached when the craving for the relief
afforded leads to disregard of the at
tendant dangers.-London Lancet

The Dangers of Cocaine.

Few drugs in recent times have re-

there may be tendency to overlook

attendant upon it's too frequent or reck-

small operations were required upon

to have revolutionized the methods of a
few years back. But every now and
again warnings are brought forward
which indicate that with cocaine, as

Guilford, July 1s.--F. G. Norton, clerk
at j. H. Monroe's drug store, has just
received an old copy of the Connecticut
Mirror, a newspaper published in Hart
ford December Is, 1928. 1t is very val
liable as literary curiosity. On the
first page is a poem written by Fitz
Greene Halleck, the Guilford poet
when he visited Europe in 1892. The
poem is in regard to Alnwick Castle
the seat of the Duke of Northumber-
land 1t was published in the New
York Evening Post, and was copied
from that journal by the Mirror soon
after the poets return to the United
States.
The paper was sent by General James
Grant Wilson to Halleck, and has the
name of both at the top in Wilson'S
handwriting. The poet had this copy
in his possession for many years. Mr..
rary friend Of the poet and afterward
wrote his biography.
The advertisements which are found
on every page are in themselves an odd
and amusing curiosity to US of the
present generation. A stage company
