DOCTORS ADDICTED TO DRUGS,

Many New York Physicians wrecked
by Constant Use of Narcotics
The majority Of professional men OF
this city who become addicted ~ the
habitual use of drugs are physlc ians,
and this fact was strikingly illustrated
a few years ago by the success OF n
young doctor who has since become one
of the best-known men in his prores-
sion. When he had been out or coilege
for only a few years lecturer ~ one
Of the city colleges decided TO decrease
the number Of his lectures preparatory
to retiring altogether from work. Al
that time there were three young ply
sicians equally qualified to succeed
him, and it was decided that the cho'ee
should be settled by allowing the men
to lecture for q certain period and Sc
lecting from them the one who was
most successful with the students. Inc
three men entered the competition with
equal opportunities, but only one OF
them survived. The OTHER two TEL
away through the habit which has
wrecked the prospects of so many
promising young men in New YORK
who seemed certain to win eminence IN
their profession. The one who did not
fall a victim to the use of drugs won
the place and the distinction that FOL
lowed.
Scarcely a year passes without the
disappearance from New York of some
more or less prominent physician" said
a doctor the other day after recalling
the mysterious death of a well-known
physician several years ago. land 1t is
usually the use of some drug that caus-
es this retirement, which Is sometimes
temporary, but more often lasting. Co.
caine has been one of the things very
much used by them, but morphine
opium and other narcotics are as much
| in use. The habit Of using them In the
case Of physicians seems to come from
| the fact that, knowing the amount In
| which the drugs can be safely used
! there Is never any doubt in their minds
that they can indulge themselves mod
erately and with no fear of excess. An
other reason Is said to be that physi
clans know the agreeable effects from
the use Of these drugs better than per
sons who have never had experience
! with them. Whatever the causes may
be, the truth remains that no class OF
professional men produces so many vic
tins of these drugs. And the more sur
prising feature Of the whole affair Il
that they are the men who would In tn
ordinary course of affairs be least ex
pected to yield to such temptations"
