CHARGED TO PHYSICIANS

Cases Discovered Start1es Mem
bers Of Profession.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va. September 16.-That
drugs are being freely prescribed by
some of the physicians in this state
for the addicts and f1ends has been
custom had reached the proportions
disclosed by a report made by Fred s.
Hoback. an inspector for the state,
startled the members of tho medical
profession.
In one case which Mr.. Hoback In
vestigated he found that one prescrip-
tion given an unmarried woman was
for five gallons Of laudanum. In an
other case it was found that a colored
physician had ordered one pound Of
gum opium for a patient. In both
these cases the physician ordered that
it be used as directed" There were
frequent prescriptions by doctors for
an ounce OF cocaine and an ounce Of
morphine.
At one drug store the prescriptions
given to a man employed by a rail-
road company in the last few months
called for $500 half-grain tablets of
morphine.
The officers of the state are power
less to correct the conditions, the ply
sicisrs being licensed. When the State
Medical Society convenes recon-
mendation will be forthcoming for a
revocation of the licenses Of men who
are using the profession and violating
the law.
One amusing feature Of the report is
that a man who was said to be going
away on vacation" asked for a supply
to tide him over, and received pre-
scription for the following: Morphine,
8 drams: cocaine. 3 drains. and 500
twelfth grain tablets of heroin. Mr..
Hoback says that rs per cent of the
addicts are women and that 80 per
cent live in the cities.
