WOULD BAR DRUG
CHEMIST TELLS OF DEADLY EFF.
FEcTs OF PEYoTE.
DemoraIizing to Ute Indian Tribe, Ia
the Charge Made-ReaIIy Is Some
thing New In the Way
Of Narcotics.

Discovery that the roots and bios
SONS of plant known as peyote,
chewed by the Indians of the Uinta
basin, contain properties like unto
opium, and which are deadly in their
effect, has been made by Herman
Harms, Utah state chemist, according
to a Salt Lake City correspondent Of
does Mr.. Harms regard the menace
of the weed that he recommends that
the next legislature take proper steps
to include the plant in the list Of pro-
hibited narcotics.
Peyote constitutes the dried roots
and dried blossoms of small cactus
plant that grows in the southwestern
section of the United States Some OF
it grows In Utah, notably the Uinta
basin. Ute Indians, many OF them, are
habitual users of peyote and some In
clude it In certain forms OF their re-
ligious ceremonies.
AT the present time" Chemist
Harms says in his report to the gov
ernor of Utah, "the Ute Indians hold
their .peyote service every Saturday
night until Sunday morning at Rand
lette, Utah, and from all accounts this
evil habit is growing at a rapid rate
with decidedly demoralizing effects on
these people"
The growth Of the use of peyote
among the Indians and the subsequent
effect upon them attracted the atten-
ton Of some Of the white residents
of the Uinta basin, including Senator
Don B. Coltcn. He called the atten-
ton of Governor Spry to the matter,
and the governor ordered an immedi-
ate and thorough investigation.
Peyote is something new in the way
OF narcotics, as Mr. Harms found out
during the investigation Here is a
cactus plant, common enough in the
western states, that contains juices
as powerful as opium or morphine.
Mr.. Harms consulted the leading med
ical and pharmaceutical books, but
none of them contained even a men
ton of peyote. He also wrote to the
Thomas Nelson research and infor.
nation bureau of New York for infor-
nation about it, but received no reply.
Mr.. Harms then set about an exhaus-
tive investigation Of his own with the
samples he had received from the
Uinta country.
Both the roots and blossoms of the
peyote plant are chewed by the In
dams after the manner in which Pc
ruvians derive the effects of cocaine
from chewing coca leaves. The bios
SONS are more delectable in the eyes
of the victims of the habit than thu
roots.
AT first peyote causes as great state
of mental exhilaration and excitement.
Then it deadens the senses, produces
abnormal dreams, is demora1izing, and
finally this peyote causes the Indians
to remain drunk or in stupor for
two or three days
Peyote was first introduced under
the form of a religious ceremony, and
during the singing and dancing it was
passed around until the Indians were
drunk with it. It contains, among
other constituents, an alkaloidal prin-
ciple, to which. no doubt, is due the
powerful narcotic action upon the hui
man system. Its indiscriminate use
produces demoralizing, harmful and
depraved condition.
