lapse over and over, and that the cost
of such extended treatment is pro-
hibitive save to the very rich, the
social value of narcosan appears ex-
ceedingly great.
Ordinarily the whole period of ad-
miristering narcosan is between two
ard three weeks. And the cost of the
preparation itself need not exceed $50
or $50 per patient, when the treat
ment Is carried on in a large institu-
ton which can buy narcosan in large
quantities. This means that all save
the very poor will now be able to buy
complete cures for themselves, as soon
as hospitals throughout the country
stock up with the preparation.
NarcOsan and Alcoholism.
To the world at large the most
wonderful thing about narcosan is it's
swift potency in destroying the drunk
ards craving for liquors.
In few brief words, Drs. Lambert
and Tilney sum up this matter. They
report:
"Narcosan is equally efficacious in
the treatment of other narcotics such
as alcohol and veronal. These last
drugs do not have the withdrawal
symptoms Of the opium narcotics.
Ahc pduentS rapidly clear up mentally
and sleep during their treatment, and
after II to "a hours cease to demand
narcotlcs. They convalesce rapidly"
The investigators are modest To
preak the curse of drink within the
span or a single day; to break it with
OUT any pain or any horrors or any
ueIlrium or any straitjacket; and to
break 1t at a cost which, in time at
least, will bar no sufferer-this is an
achievement whose value to the
human race is beyond price.

On Sunday afternoons and holidays

work about the place, and seem to en-

They used to get up at A am. to

Other Illnesses Improved.
The doctors have found that as they
removed the narcotic all kinds of
other ills were revealed: some only
small irritations. others reslly serioua.
But even thess conditions seem to 10
improved by the narcosan treatment.
Even the tubercular patients seem to
be in better condition. 1t has been
observed that narcosan restores the
patient mentally and physically to
pre.dope normality and often the ply
sical condition is even better than it
was before the victim became an ad-
dict.
These are the only narcotic wards

The narcosan treatment was not in

March 80. In the old days as many
as 80 or 40 addicts would undergo the

Regulars" Are Fewer.
When narcosan was introduced as
treatment for narcotic addicts to re-
place the old withdrawal method,
nurses were placed in the wards and
the matrons walked out. Until few
weeks ago there were always 20 or
80 patients under treatment, and more
than 200 women have gone through
since March 30. Most of them were

more dope than they were able to

however, the census suddenly began
to drop.
There was never any trouble or
violence in the wards from the time
that narcosan was introduced on
March 80, 1926. The patients are
found happy, singing and working,
and their relations with the registered
nurses in charge are. friendly, not Of

side over sufferers kept in individual
cells. 1t Is homewhat like the mad
house of old. AT Welfare Island all
these conditions have disappeared.
The patients are easily handled in
dormitories. Keepers, matrons and
cells are no more. Only the familiar
nurse is on hand.
Welfare Island MetamOrphosed
On July 4, 1926, a party was held
at Welfare Island, in which 100 men
and $50 women prisoners participated.
The men and 150 of the women were
former dope addicts, and were detain-
ed on the island to finish their prison
sentences. The inmates gave Fourth
of July celebration and show, max
ing all the preparations themselves,
from writing the lines for their vari-
Gus skits to making their own cos
tunes. The matrons. keepers, and
their respective husbands and wives
and children, and a few outside
friends, including the reported for The
Star and the North American News
paper Alliance, were the guests at
this entertainment. Ordinarily the
patients would have been lying
around shrieking for dope,

decline of the franc.

After plunging during the morn
ing to 48.30 to the dollar by /
o'clock this afternoon the franc
had recovered to 1925.
M. Herriot's troubles were In
creased when there was renewed
agitation for a national union
government, which he can not
form and which it seems probable
only M. BRAND can form, if he
will.
The opposition to Herriot has
increased to such a point that it
is rumored that even some men,
bers of his own radical Socialist
party are prepared to desert him.
Even though M. Herriot forms
a ministry its life can not be long.
HerriOt Meets Opposition
M. Herriot had announced last
night that he would make an an.
nouncement regarding his efforts to
form cabinet at noon today, but
when that hour arrived the Radical
Socialist leader announced that he
would not be able to form a cab
met until late this afternoon.
1t Is now reported that M. De
Monte, who has once been Ousted
as finance minister, has agreed to
accept that post in the Herriot
cabinet.
Even before the Herriot ministry
is formed opposition to it has be-
come so strong that it is runIored
that representatives of the cham

plan to send a delegation to Presi-
