illicit traffic and ending the drug degrada-
ton of our country if the law stopped
there. But the good effects of the act are
effectively negatived by the little "joker"
inserted in Section 10. This is "proviso"
to the effect that this act shall not be
construed to apply to the manufacture,
compromising, sale, distribution, giving
away, or dispensing of preparations and
remedies which do not contain more than
two grains of opium, or one-fourth of
grain of morphine, or one-third of grain
OF heroin, or one grain of codeine, or their
salts and derivatives, in one fluid ounce;
or, if a solid or semisolid preparation, in
one avoirdupois ounce; or to liniments,
olntments, or other preparations made
for external use only. 1t is further "pro-
vided" that such remedies shall be dis
pensed only as medicines, and mot for
the purpose of evading the provisions of
this act
The most exacting dope fiend could not
ask for larger hole in the law. If he can
get an unlimited amount of his favorite
poison in nostrum form, anything else the
Harrison bill or any other bill may or may
not provide" is matter of indifference
to him.
RUT the country demands to know what
becomes of the 100000 ounces of CO.
caine and the 400, 600 pounds of opium an
nually imported into the United States. 1t
is interested in finding out just how soft"
a Temperance drink" is when it carries a
quarter of grain of cocaine to the glass
full. 1t demands that tobacco, catarrh,
hay fever, cough, and epilepsy "cures,"
which relieve one habit or symptom, to
replace it by an infinitely more pernicious
one, be abolished. 1t insists that the
blessing of narcotics for legitimate medical
and surgical use be safeguarded, and kept
exclusively in the hands of reputable prac-
titioners
1t is determined to save drug victims
from themselves. 1t is intimately con-
cerned in killing the most hideous thing
that menaces the physical and mental in
tegrity of Americans. There can be no
temporizing. All the influences for good
in this country must be united toward
breaking the shackles.

or how extensive is his use of them, he can
be cured; though it will take time and
wholehearted cooperation on the part of
the patient. Even without this coopera-
ton the victim may be relieved; but he
will not remain relieved. AS the wise old
doctor in Macbeth" said, "Therein the
patient must minister to himself" And
no neutrality-suspicious. the drastic
but highly successful "elimnative" treat
ment originated by Charles B. Towns a
layman-should be undertaken except
under restraint, either in sanatorium or
under the watchful care of competent
nurse.
The suffering that goes with the with
drawal symptoms, under scientific treat
ment, is not greatly to be dreaded. With
the sustaining influence of powerful tones,
and such sedatives as are necessary
plus will power-every drug addict
can be cured. But we are more init
mately concerned in stopping the thing
before it begins, than in curing it after it
has begun.
A NATIONWIDE effort to restrict the
sale of opiates is now attempted. The
Harrison bill on its face seems to have
been intended as step in the right direc-
ton. 1t aims to abolish the unlawful traf-
fc in habit-forming poisons, and provides
for the registration with the Collector of
Internal Revenue of all having TO do with
this traffic. 1t also imposes a special tax
upon all persons who produce, import,
manufacture, compound, deal in, dis
pense, sell, distribute, or give away opium
or coca leaves, their salts, derivatives, or
preparations Of derivatives"
This bill contemplates that every per-
son or firm having anything to do with
these drugs must sign receipt for the
same, and keep record of the transaction
in duplicate on form provided for this
purpose. An accurate tab can thus be
kept upon the Who's Who in the Mar
cotic Directory. 1t is not intended that
this restriction shall apply to physicians,
dentists, or veterinarians, who dispense
these drugs on personal attendance of
patient.
This is excellent so far as it goes, and
would have fair prospect of killing the
