Thrills OF Ether jag.
Lead To Padded
Cell

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Be-
ware the ether jag!
If you simply must get
thrill of some sort, don't try
to attain it by sprinkling few
drops of the potent sleep syrup
on a lump of sugar and Mir
bling it.
DIR. Waldo Remenyi, anes-
thetic expert connected with
Bellevue Hospital, says:
1.-THE use. of ether in CHS
form is certain to produce
habit, just as does. cocaine or
heroin. And the mild user Of
the drug will always suffer q
physical reaction from the
hilarity at first evident and in
time will break down physically
and mentally. Such a habit is
really an evidence of de-
generacy."
