OPIUM CONCEALED
IN OINTMENT FORM
Habit-Forming Drugs Found in
Salves Sold Without Restriction
In the District.

Opium. cocaine and other habit-forming
drugs have been found by the chemists
of the Department Of Agriculture In
salves and ointments that are sold with
out restriction in Washington and i'm
other cities all over the country. The
ostensible purpose of the drugs 80 in
corporated is to allay pain, but IL has
been found that dope fiends," cut of
from their ordinary supply OF drugs, will
take to the ointments and by using them
can get the same results as in the un-
adulterated drug
DIR. Kebler, the chief of the drug divi-
sion of the bureau Of chemistry. says
that there was law on the subject of
Incorporating such drugs in any medicine
that was sold without a physicians pre-
scription in a bill introduced in the last
Congress by Representative Mann of Illi-
nois, but the bill was/defeated. He says
that he is not placed in the department
to either make or advocate laws, but that
he knows the harm that is done by such
medicines. and he thinks they are as bad
as the baby soothing sirups containing
morphine and cocaine, against which the
department has been making a crusade.
The Chinese have recently been i'm
porting large quantities OF .anti-opium'
pills for the cure OF the habit made al
most exclusively OF opium. This prac-
tice has been detected and stopped but
there is as yet no regulation against the
sale OF ointments containing similar drugs.
