The great increase in the number of
apartment hotels in New York city has
struck powerful blow mt one Of the
prosperous city industries The high
priced boarding houses in the Fifth ave-
nue. section Of the city are compelled To

ligi0uS mania acquire over certain classes
Of persons are all evidences of the gen
eral use of morphine. Most cases of
real disease. are caused solely by n pro-
tractCd use of morphine. and ninety-nine
ont of every 100 kleptomaniacS are NOR
phiniSts. This physician, who is con-
rccted with one of the principal hos
pitfalls and who has mace Il study of NOR
HhlnlSH, says Unat mHch OF the blame
for the present alarming prevalence of
the morphine habit is due to doctors who
have too readily prescribed its employ
ment as n remedial agent and did not
take sufficient care to prevent its sub
sequent continued use by patients.
