Following is the resolution passed
yesterday by the board:
Resolved. That this board desires
TO so on record as being fully awaks
to the direful havoc which the CO.
caine and morphine habits are pro-
ducing in West Virginia. especially
in certain sections OF the state, and
is prepared to do its full duty and
to go to the extreme length OF its
power in an effort to stop the harm
full traffic in these drugs. To that
end the board announces itself as
ready TO revoke the license of any
physician in the state who can BIZ
proved by competent and satisfac-
tory evidence produced before the
board, to be trafFicker in these mar
cotics, or himself an habitual user.
The board further asks the stata
Board of Pharmacy and the prose-
cutting attorneys throughout the state
to join with it in the crusade against
this growing evil.

BY the State Board Of Health
Which Adopts a Resolu-
ton to That Effect.

WHEELING, Nov. 13-The West
Virginia Board of Health has int
augurated a campaign against the
cocaine and morphine traffic in this
state. At resolution passed at
one OF the meetings of the board
now in session here the board goes
on record as willing to stop the
harmful traffic and it's first step in
this direction will be against the
physician traftickers, or physician
users.
The drug habit has grown to large
proportions in this state to great
extent in the mining regions, but
more especially in the lumber camps.
The largest part of the drug is
furnished to the "fends' BY physi-
clans, who make their living in the
traffic. The law provides heavy pen
alties for the Illegal sale and use OF
either morphine or cocaine. But
these physicians, when brought up
before the law, have simply shown
their physicians certificates and es-
capped punishment.
The board plans to revoke the IL
censes Of all physicians engaged in
the traffic. This will make them as
fully amenable to the law as the or
dnary law breaker But the board
will even go step farther by re-
voking the license of any physician
who is himself an habltual user.
To demonstrate that it is in good
faith it is understood that the board
will revoke the licenses of one or
more physicians at its present SEES
sion. This will bring the traffickers
in the drug TO the fun realization
that their day is over. The doctors
of the board believe that their ac-
ton will mean the greatest setback
to the drug traffic since the state
laws against it were passed.
