INCREASE IN DEATHS FROM
USE OF DRUGS CAUSES PROBE

NEW YORK.-Increase of deaths
here from sleep-producing drugs, use
of which, 1t is said. has been
acquired by many persons since the
advent of prohibition, has led Health
Commissioner Copeland to order an
investigation of sales of such drugs.
Additional restrictions may be placed
on their sale. he said.
The investigation was ordered be-
cause of a statement by Chief Medical
Examiner Norris regarding the in
crease in deaths attributed to this
cause. He said that alcoholic ad-
diets. finding themselves nervous and
sleepless in many instances where
they have been unable to purchase
liquor for their customary might
cap" before retiring and the EYE
opener" on arising, had resorted TO
other artificial and dangerous ways
of wooing sleep. The desired relief
he said. was obtained through the
use of the nerve-quieting effects of
certain drugs.
DIR. Copeland. in instructions to the
Bureau of Foods and Drugs to be-
gin an investigation Immediately. re-
ferred to most of the drugs about
which complaint has been made Of
ficially. as "treacherous somni-
facients." fifteen grains of one of
which, he said. were sufficient to
cause death. He admitted tha;
fatalities from the use of these drugs
were altogether too frequent"
DR.. Morris declared that deaths
from sleep-producing drugs occurred
in hospitals and in what formerly
were sanitoriums for treatment of
alcoholism. Deaths from such causes
also had been recorded as suicides,
he said. Sale of such drugs, he added,
should be governed by the same strict
regulations as those governing the
sale of poisons.
