APPEAL TO COLLECTOR
FOR DRUG Permits

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 27.-
A federal law has made the office Of
J. j. Scott, collector Of internal rev
enue, confessional.
The Harris drugs act has made doc
tors careful, druggists wary. The
way of the drug user has become
hard, for an internal revenue permit
is necessary these days, in order to
get the stuff or have it IN ones pos
session.
Collector Scott is the court of last
resort. Into his ears during the past
months have been poured pitiful tales
by men and women Of social standing
in this and other communities, whom
Fate has led into the net of drug-de-
votion.
Aside-phase Of the case, much
less pitiful, is the application by GER
tain osteopaths, "drugless practition-
ers," for permits. Osteopaths are not
registered by the state medical board
as physicians" and the federal act
expressly uses that term to denote
individuals who may be granted per
mits. The osteopaths have been turn
ed down.
The individual cases surpass in in
terest. They show the high places in
to which the drug habit has made ia
way. Men and women of evident
breeding and high standing have beer

A woman had been III and in pain.
A doctor had injected morphine and
the drug had exerted its devilish in
fluence. Thereafter it had become a
necessity. The doctor now refused
further prescriptions. The druggist
had become heartless. Would Scott
intervene?
a prominent local business man
(Scott withholds his name) had suf-
fered an accident. Twelve years ago
it was. Pain beyond human endur-
ance once had been assuaged with
drugs, The appetite remained. Twelve
years a nightly potion had been taxi
en-. The new statute cuts him off
from the only thing which sLabilizes
his mentality. Could Scott inter
vene?
From country town came a let
ter. A woman, mother of three grown
daughters and possessed of good
husband, was a victim of morphine So
luton. An illness of long ago had
been the start of the habit. "They
saw me try once to do without 1t and
they do not wish to go through that
experience again. she wrote.
Helpless as the victims seem, Scott
is quite as helpless. He can give
them no aid the fight must be made
by themselves.
A curious method OF fighting the
drug was told by "A victim to Scott

nit, for just one bottle more of NOR
phine solution. His cure would be
complete by the time it was consum-
ed, he explained.
He had two bottles, one Of the

At the start he took small measure

mainder with the olipe oil. After
each dose of the more and more dilut-
ed drug, he would add further meas

yet cured. lie needed one more bot
tie. 1t had to be denied him.
"The revelations have been aston

been the unwilling receptacle of lot
of fearful stories. II is hard to deny
them, but the new law will mean that
few new cases of drug mania viii be
