Washington, D. Cdr. Harvey w.
Wiley, appearing as private citizen
before the Pure Food board in advo-
cacy Of regulation guarding very
strictly the use and sale of opium,
morphine, cocaine and other habit
forming drugs, aroused the anger of
drug representatives by referring to
them as "dopers."
Dr. Wiley finally consented to. with
draw the term "dopers, but said he
would still insist on calling them
manufacturer of poison"
For that, he added, lis what you
yourselves are willing to have called
these drugs and preparations contain
ing Them"
Representative of the drug manu-
facturers argued that exception should
be made In preparations containing
only small proportions Of opium, NOR
pbine, cocaine and the other drugs
named. They held that there were
so many Of these preparations scatter
ed through small drug stores all over
the country that it would require
years and be heavy expense for the
manufacturers TO have all marked
with skull and cross bones, as the reg
ulations of the pure food board re-
quire.
DR.. Wiley declared the manufac-
turer had been making the profits and
should pay whatever costs were nee
essary to protect the public from the
drug habit.
May / ask whom you represent
said Mr.. Hough, Of St. Louis, when
DR.. Wiley appeared.
II represent one private citizen, y
was the reply, something new at
these hearings, but which hope will
be frequent in the future.
"As to the drug manufacturer ar
gument that small quantities of
opium, morphine and cocaine are not
harmful, it would take a million
Hague opium conferences to convince
me that the small amounts should be
allowed Nothing is better than
small doses as a means of fostering
the drug habit"
