credtable work in opening the eyes OF the

DR. John IT, w. Rhein, another energetic
member Of the Citizens Committee, said;
81 am convinced that this act will greatly
modify illicit drug trafTlc in this State.
OF late, addcts have told me that dope
vendors have told them the act will curtail
the business greatly. A fine feature Of the
bill Is that which provides that all physi-
clans who desire to treat drug addicts must
register such patients with the board OF
health. This will result in stopping the
activities Of unscrupulous doctors who have
been reaping a harvest with the so-called
reduction cure. Another fine thing is the
provision which makes possession Of dope
a crime This will enable the police TO
pick up the dope suspects on the street and
take them 20 station houses for examna-
ton"
