chase hypedermie syringe.
In shop window of a famous col
1ege town In q State adjacent to New
York, last week, was displayed an en-
tire case of dypodermic syringes. with
a large card announcing, special
Sale. Only One Dollar"
The criticism Of the law was not
meant for New York State only. There
are other States In the Union And
victims of the hypodermic habit exist
outside of New York. Mr.. Robert
Lehmen, New York chemist, well
known In the fraternity, was asked
for his opinion On this subject, and re-
pliedi
las regards the hypodermio syringe,
there is law in force which prevents
the sale of the same except upon a
physicians order, and as a result the
sale Gin New York City, has fallen
off Immensely. Perhaps the folks who
want them go to New Jersey or any
other neighboring State where the law
against them is not so strictl
However, the hypodermie syringe
without the necessary drugs Is like a
pistol without cardridges: In fact, the
hatpin is more deadly, and the friends
who can't buy a syringe will take the
drugs by the mouth.
''The law In regard to the sale of
cocaine Is defective, as 1t allows the
repetition of prescriptions which con-
tain one grain to the fluid ounce, or
about one-fifth of one per cent. which
permits habitual user of the drug to
buy solution or have a prescription
refllled containing such quantity and
drink the same Instead OF injecting 1t.

been released simultaneously in four

surely. the first gain being so small that
the subject is hardly alarmed at 1t.
1t is stated by specialists on this sub

ounce of fat daily will increase the
weight fifty-seven pounds in ten years

with this little increase at the age of
forty, fifty will probably find you very
