GRAVE danger ever present in alcoholism,
~ is that habitual drinking may lead to drug
y addiction. 1t begins usually with the tax
ing Of sedatives often by doctors prescription, TO
relax the nerves and induce sleep after sprees.
Or perhaps the prescription is passed on orally
by one sympathetic drinker to another and always
with the name of doctor druggist who can be
relied upon to make the drug available.
AS the practice progresses the lighter sedatiVes
lose their effectiveness and the patient turns to the
more insidiouS opiates such as heron, cocaine or
morphine While this is true of both men and
alcoholics tragically enough it is more pro
nounced with the latter who have more time TO
drink and time TO suffer from its effects, and
are therefore, harder to heal than men,
How drug addiction may slip up on its victim
unawares, and what ii do to ruin promising
