Alleging that strict conformity to
provisions of the federal narcotic law
had taken many patients away from
some physicians and placed them in
the hands of those who took wider
view of the matter" Dr.. c. L. katz, OF
Wichita, urged a resolution placing
the State Medical society on record as
declaring:
Opium and morphine if used and
prescribed for addicts is not a poison,
but stimulant and narcotic medicine
and therefore an anesthetic agent, and
as. such Is mailable in compliance with
the postal laws and regulations.
And that this society requests all
physicians concerned to use their best
efforts to reclaim their former patrons
and patients and devise ways and
means to break them from the habit
and addiction of using these narcotic
drugs and if necessary have by their
respective local councils such rulings
and ordinances passed as seem best
fitted to cover these cases humanely.
However, it was decided that such a
resolution should be placed on the ia
BILE.
