SLEEPING-PILL SUICIDES
Continued from page five

barbiturates is practical 1t will greatly reduce, if
it does not eliminate altogether the number of
sleeping pill suicides. 1t will lessen the danger of
addiction: the user won't be gradually increasing
the number of pills he takes
There seems to be no reason why it should not
be enacted into law At the same time existing
State laws could remain on the books or be further
extended.
There are to be sure, few reservations Con-
frmed addicts or would-be suicides might turn to
liquid barbiturates.
The same formula that applies to sleeping
pills, however. can be applied to the sedatives
in liquid form.
For the purposes of injecting the drug, physi-
clans would still need ipecac-free liquid barbitu
rates. But such liquids would come in ampules -
difficult for the layman to buy handle sold only
to physicians. In any event, the possibility of
accidental death or innocent addiction could be
ruled out. Only very determined person bent on
suicide could or would evade the law and obtain
ipecacfree barbiturates. No law achieves its pur-
pose 100 per cent.
Not Many Exceptions
ANOTHER objection is that certain people might
have large immunity to ipecac. Curiously, and
fortunately, however. the chemistry is such that
the same people would have similar immunity
to barbturates. Since they could stand larger
doses of both, the formula would remain the same
and achieve the same result.
The exceptions would be few. and the diff
Guilty, therefore, is not Of large consequence.
For the vast majority of people whose health
and lives are now being endangered by the indis-
criminate use of sleeping pills. the pecac formula
would serve as an effective safety valve, self
controlled and automatically regulating.
The ipecac formula, at the very least, is a pro-
lection that society owes its members. 1t is the
railing around the high tower. the odor that has
been added to cooking gas. the life guard at the
beach, the safety catch on the rifle
1t is all that and more.
Better Than Skull and d-Czossbones
Nor do the possibilities of ipecac end with Sleep
ing pills. 1t can be safely added to many dangerous
drugs - the poisons in your medicine cabinet,
the sugar arcoated laxatives left lying around where
children can get to them.
As precaution in this respect, it would be
infinitely more effective than the skull-andcross-
bones on the bottle of poison
If the law works with barbturates, it may be
only the beginning of comprehensive research and
legislation designed to detonate the BOBBY traps
in your medicine cabinet. to end the thousands of
deaths by poisoning every year.
But let's start with the barbiturates, for they
are the most accessible and subtly dangerous of
all poisons. The End
