CHICAGO, Nov 1l.-Dr. Harry J.

horror Of death. They pass the dreamy
existence Of lotus eaters. Indian hemp
and the other milder drugs lessen a
desire for food and the patients pass to
the next stage in a week or a month.
Morphine Ia the most effective drug
and relieves the patient from all sense
of worry The use OF this drug in treat
ing lives of no value and bodies in con-
slant pain is more refined way Of
assisting old people and deformed in
fants to death than practised by lower
tribes The Cree Indians used a hatchet
or their fathers TO relieve them from
pain. In Africa they desert them.
IAN old woman who had wandered in
the snow last winter clad in q night
gown came into the hospital with frozen
arms. She had fallen on the pavement
and broken her hip. Besides. she had
cancer and was suffering from senility.
Morphine kept her out OF pain. Cancer
Of the face should always have the
lethal doses to take the patients from
here. Such lives check the vitality Of
others"
Or. Haiselden said he intended soon
to start giving the lethal doses to suf-
fe-ing persons and send them off In a

while the bill is silent on the is

"Of all forms of taxation, the bond
