During the session of the Leg- islature of 1909, Mr. Matthews, then ried to Tallahassee a bill to prohibit the sale of these drugs, except under certain conditions, and the same was introduced in the House by Hon. J. A. Cox and by myself in the Senate. Both bills passed the bodies where introduced and during the closing hours of the session, after repeated unsuccessful attempts, I succeeded in getting it up and passed, and it be- came a law. While the bill was pend- ing, 1 received many letters urging it spassage, some of them Yrom practicing physicians, some of them giving it as a fact that many cases of rape, as well as varlous other crimes, were caused by crazed and unnatural conditions arising from the use of the dangerous drugs. Occasionally we see in the papers accounts of where some poor wretch has been caught selling the stuff jand punished, while men with more --nh,;hu-n--d conscience, if they have auy at all, men prominent perchance in State and even in church, men of whom the people have a right to expect better things, go on selling, cndangering perhaps the wives and dunghters of their own homes as well as of their neighbors- all for money, What will thiz nation wide craze for money lead us to?
