POISONS IN THE DRUGS.
j. A. Policy Wants the Kansas Law
Made More Stringent.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
l note by the papers that this legis-
| lature will enact pure food and drug
law for this state. 1 sincerely hope it
will be on different lines from that
enacted by congress June 80, 1906, which
| in my opinion is a farce
| 1t is a we'll known fact fully estab-
lished that the three most harmful
| poisons known to man are mercury in
! all its various forms, -strychnine and
arsenic. Neither of these poisons are
mentioned. Proprietors OF remedies
containing them are not compelled to
| SO state on packages; neither are ply
sicians required to notify nurses ana
patients when they administer them.
Druggists preparing prescriptions
containing these poisons are not re-
quired to so state on the packages or
label them poisons
There is nothing in the act prohibit
ing the use of cocaine in nostrums pre-
pared by itinerant druggists and on
sale in the drug stores and by peddlers
The use and abuse of mercury is grow
ing and the same may be said of strych-
nine and arsenic. These poisons are do
ing more harm today in this country
than one-half of the various diseases.
You have but to look around you at the
cripples, mercuria1 rheumatism para
tribute fully 80 per cent of deaths by
heart failure to the use of these mineral
poisons Still no mention is made of
them whatever in the pure food and
drug act of June 80. q
The sale of nostroms used for head
ache and catarrh containing cocaine
should be prohibited by law and the use
of this poison in any preparation in
tended for inhalation made a penal
offense.
Hundreds of thousands of women's
lives are ruined by the use of arsenic
taken internally as skin remedy and
nearly every external preparation i'm
tended for the same use containing thia
poison. The poorer classes purchase
these headache powders for the cocaine
they contain. This is why their sales
are so enormous. In my opinion no
mans business should be consulted
where the health and good of the peo-
pie are at stake. Er
1t is a we'll known fact that before
the enactment Of the pure food and
drug act and while it was in process of
framing, representatives of grocery
houses and various other mercantile
establishments Were sent for and con-
suited as to the effect certain parts
of the enactment would have upon |
their business. I have been informed !
by one who knows that these poisons |
appeared in the bill as first framed, and |
were subsequently erased at the sug- |
gestio1 of the representatives of trade |
in these lines
ne marin uoHe Dy llquOr amounts TO
nothing in comparison with that done |
by mercury, strychDine, arsenic and CO.
caine. If the facts could be. known 1t |
is safe to say larger per cent of Grim |
inals use cocaine and are melted to the |
commission of crimes by the use of that |
drug than liquor.
AS Kansas is foremost in all laudable |
should like to see her |
in this especially as the lives that are
at stake of the use and abuse Of these
poisons.

HOW THE KING GOT HORSES.
One day the King took a notion to
ride out and be seen by his subjects,
but on ordering the Royal carriage
cellor of the Stables appeared and
said:
20, Benef1cent, but your order can
not be carried out"
The deuce you say! What's the
There is not horse in the royal.
