YOUR HEALTH
bit-for1ning Drugs, No. l..
BY ANDREW F. cURRIER, M. D.

Any substance used in any way
to treat disease is drug, even
though it may be used for other
purposes.
Tea, coffee, alcohol, mustard,
prunes, soap, bi-oarbonate Of soda,
and many other things in daily use
In the household, have a medicinal,
as well as their ordinary economic
value.
Habit-forming drugs may be per-
fectly good and useful and legiti-
mate for medical purposes, but they
often tempt people to use them un-
necessarily and poison them.
People who are thus enslaved
think they cannot get along with
out their dope; their will power
and self-control are lost and, sooner
or later, II not cut off in other ways,
they get fatal disease from use of
the drug.
Frequently an overpowering dose
of the drug carries them off sud-
denlys
People are differently affected by
the same drug at different times. A
dose of morphine has more effect
on an empty stomach than when
the stomach is busy digesting food,
and will take effect more quickly
when you are tired and sleepy,
than when full of life and activity;
moreover, II II Is taken. to relieve
pain, more will be necessary II the
pain is severe than If 1t is not.
People are also differently af-
fected by different samples OF the
same drug.
A quarter Of grain of morphine
made by one chemist may produce
the utmost effect desired by the
doctor who gives 1t, while half q
grain made by another chemist may
fail in producing that effect, the
first specimen being a pure drug,
the second adulterated or unsuc-
cessfully made.
Drugs are taken to influence dis
ease or produce sleep or relieve
pain.
II is because they make you COM
Portable or produce certain agree
able sensations that they allure you
when they are not required medi-
cinally.
