new CURB ON
DRUG TRAFFIC
Rules to Make More Effective
Provisions Of Harrison
Law Being Framed.
COURT DECISIONS HELP OUT
Assist the Internal Revenue Bureaus In
Defining Its Power clearly-Leavs
No Loopholes for ouaeks or
unscrupuIous Physicians.

Washington.-The bureau Of inter-
nal revenue is framing new reguia-
tions to make more effective the pro-
visions of the Harrison narcotic law
as amended February "a. 1919. The
regulations will describe more fully
the details of registration and stamp
ing of drug packages and will tend to
enable the bureau to keep closer track
of physicians who are prescribing
drugs.
Court Decisions Help.
Recent decisions by the United
States Supreme court have helped the
bureau by defining its power clearly.
The recent decision In the case Of Bas-
com c. Thompson is the first to ex-
pound the legal rights of physician
i'm prescribing drugs. 1t declared a
physician cannot prescribe drugs sim
ply to relieve the cravings of an ad-
diet, and that prescriptions for that
purpose can be issued only on a spe-
cial blank furnished by the commits
sioner of internal revenue.
The bureau has been hampered In
its pursuit Of illegitimate traffic In
drugs through the ignorance or in-
difference of the public to the extent
to which drug habits have grown and
the evils attendant thereon. Even in
medical circles there are still old
fashioned doctors who do not appre-
ciate the evils of the habit or the
ease with which II Is contracted.
The Harrison law has a moral OBJ
ject In view as well as the collection
of revenue. Its constitutionality has
been upheld by the Supreme court as
no invasion of the police powers of
the states, as 1t is revenue act. The
new regulations will emphasize the
necessity for a physician to give his
personal attention to curing patient
of the drug habit. Confinement for
the patient will be insisted upon, with
out which, in the opinion of leading
physicians, no patient can be cured
effectively.
Leave No LoophoIes.
The regulations will be issued soon.
Every effort will be made not to In
terfere with the recognized medical
necessity for the use of drugs, with
out at the same time leaving any loop
hole by which quacks or unscrupulous
physicians may dispense drugs purely
for the satisfaction of addicts and for
gain to themselves.
Numerous cases have been brought
to the attention Of the bureau where
physicians have prescribed drugs In
alleged attempts to cure addicts, and
have dispensed them by mail or ex
press. This practice is a violation OF
the spirit of the law and is only 9
blind to cover illegitimate traffic.
The bureau intends to curb all &C
tivities which enable a physician h
take undue advantage of his license,
| power.
