SUICIDE ADVISED BY DOCTOR
Extraordinary Letter Read at Trial
of Paris Chemists for illegal Sale
of Narcotics.

A curious letter from a physician
was read in the Paris courts at the
hearing of case in which Pierre Ju-
vim and Jean Juillard, chemists, were
charged with the illegal sale of Ger
tain narcotics
The letter in question, which was
signed by Doctor Gaudin, stated that
the writer had treated Nine. Delyigne-
Dambricourt in an effort to cure her
OF the drug habit. After her use Of
morphine and cocaine had been com
pietely stopped, Doctor Gaudin made
out for her a prescription into the
composition of which black drop twin
egar of 0; ium entered The letter
concluded with the following curl
Gus sentence:
This prescription should be re-
newed according to the needs of Nine
Delvigne-Dambricou and advise
her To continue with it, since she finds
It suits her, or if not, to have recourse
to absinthe or TO suicide, which is,
after all, the best way to escape from
all the manias and miseries Of ex.
istence"
It was this letter which Mr.. Juvin
advanced as his excuse for having
supplied Nine observation-disclosures
with black drops The court, however,
ordered both Messrs Juvin and JUL
lard to pay a fine Of 500 francs each.
