large measure responsible for failure

whatever is unjust and ,misdirected
in the framing Of the various laws
and also for a great part Of what
ever incompetency and lack of wis

Lack of knowledge of the disease
facts Of narcotic addiction is also re-
sponsible for the practical absence
Of widespread provision for humane
and intelligent handling, for much
