The foreman in q certain factory toll
me that in his boyhood, when he first
came 10 that plant. he was advised -

from the fumes. He did begin. and his
first two or three small doses gave him

and this pain was followed by tremendous
hunger and a violent. disagreeabIe excIt-.
ment But as his doses increased in fra.
quency and size. their effect becams
pleasant There was no longer pain 0-
excitement. On the contrary there ives
a ravenous appetite and a mood Of joyous
activity wherein the youth could do thrzs
