DANGER in SUMMER DRINKS
DOped syrups Mixed with Soda Makes
Victims of the Drug
Habit.

Cleveland Moffett in an article In the
May Hampton's Magazine points out the
danger of cocaine In soft drinks: Mr.
Moffett shows the depths to which cocaine
fiends fall and declares that 1t is the most
dangerous drug used.
Here is plain warning from Dr. l. F.
Kebler, chief of the division of drugs in
the government bureau Of chemistry: AT
tention is directed to the danger Of soft
drinks containing caffeine. extract of kola
nut and extract OF coca leaf, the active
principle of the two latter being cocaine"
According to DR.. Kebler scores of soft
drinks, dangerously medicated are sold at
soda water fountains as stimulating and
refreshing summer drinks without the
slightest intimation to purchasers that
their stimulating and refreshing qualities
come from cocaine, drug that produces
one of the worst habits known to the medi-
cal profession.
1--WE have seem" says DR.. Kebler, how
the opium habit may be acquired by the
use of various proprietary or secret prepa-
rations (pain Killers. usually employed as
domestic remedies. and so the cocaine habit
may be developed by the use of these much
lauded soft drinks"
During a recent visit to Washington Mr..
Moffett says he talked with two heads Of
departments in the bureau of chemistry,
both active in the government prosecutions
Of drugged soda water syrups.
There is no question" said one of these
authorities, that the presence Of cocaine
In soft drinks tends to create in the con-
sumner, whether child or adult a predisposi-
ton towards the cocaine habit"
1t is evident that the manufacturers OF
these soft drink syrups have only one mo-
tive for putting cocaine into them, that is
to make them popular, to make them taste
GOOD to make them sell better. And this
popularity, this pleasant taste and better
sale come simply and solely because there
