POTATO WORSE THAN OPIUM
Habit Of Smoking Dried Stems Of Or
dInary Field Tuber One Of Most
Vicious Practises.

Even worse than opium smoking is
the smoking of the dried stems OF the
ordinary field potato" writes an emf
nent physician in an exchange. The
potato vine is n poisonous growth.
The apple or seed. which grows on
the potato and looks like small. ur-
dergrown green tomato. which 1t Is
in fact. for the potato and tomato are
blood cousins, is especially potent in
its baleful effects II one smokes 1t.
Usually the vice starts in boyhood
days on the farm. when the youngster
of the family steals his fathers pipe
and hides with 1t and some matches
down behind the garden fence or be-
hind the barn next to the field OF
potatoes. He doesn't dare to take up
the straight tobacco. but he tries out
some dried potato stem in the pipe.
"The smoke sets the experimenter
into a delicious dreamy state at first.
but the heart action accelerates in a
minute or two In an effort to throw
off the poison through the lungs and
skin. The dreamy state quickly dis
appears. the face gets flushed and the
heart action rapidly increases to Sc
we're palpitation.
IF the dose has been large the VIC
tim feels a wild. fierce elation that
impels him to action of any kind. In
this state he may do anything. but the
| stage is reached much more quickly
than with alcoholic liquors.
THE, eyes become blind and cloud
| ed. The pupil dilates as though bel
ladonna had been applied. The motor
centers are affected and there Is par
alysis OF the lower limbs. and the
smokers face gets pale. while drops
Of sweat stand out.
| AT this stage the heart action
weakens and there is either stupor or
syncope. in which the victim Of the
potato poison lies practically para
lyzed and unable to move. while his
brain is In an insane whirl. This rep
resents the height of the intoxication
and It is followed by acute depression
and melancholia and a slow return OF
the physical powers.
"The potato stem smoke speedily
draws a victim down. He grows pale.
Is gaunt and emaciated. ends UP with
violent acute mania, usually with
homicidal tendencies.
II only had one case Of the kind.
A boy of 16 caught the habit trying to
find a substitute for tobacco. He only
lasted three years. There wasn't any
thing that could be done for him.
This young chap couldn't be re-
strained by any Of the usual drugs.
He was kept in bed. roped down. dur
ing the maniacal stage that he went
through. Morphine didn't seem to do
any good. The moment he was freed.

make n rush for the nearest potato
