EE — Se ——=—— HABIT-FORMING AGENTS—THE POISONS WE TAKE IN OUR “MEDICINES” knowledge sorves to make It has long been pretty common that alcohol is the ingredient that many 4 patent medicine. Indeed, in some “dry” western states, the “peruna jag’ has become a fixed social factor. But it is not com mon knowledge that many remedies in common use fepend for their popularity upon poisons far more jangerous and insidious than alcohol. It 1s true, however, and everybody who ever takes medicine of any kind owes it to himself to know it and to know the remedies that contain these poisons. % Dr. Kebler, chief of the division of drugs, depart 9 | sont of agriculture, who has’ made a study of this juestion for the government, says in this regard in a bulletin just issued “There are various remedies on the market used from Infancy to old age, containing habit-forming agents, which can be purchased almost ad libitum by anyone. Many of the mixtures are concocted, directly or indirectly, through the afd of unscrupulous physicians, so-called. Some Illicit sales of cocaine, morphine, ete, are also made by druggists, both whe and retail. * * * Physicians often are not circumspect enough in the writing and safeguarding of prescriptions containing these drugs. With th conditions obtain ing, drug addiction has become a great evil.” What are the results of this unrestricted sale of poisons? Opium consumption tn t ited States, per capita, has doubled since 1870. This is the m ling result. Further: Since the introduction of cocaine as an anodyne 25 years ago, the annual con sumption of that terrible drug has risen to 150,000 ounces per annum. In the past two decades acetanilid, acetphenetidin, anti pyrin, phen caffein, chloral, hydrate, codein and other more or less dar frugs of kindred e have ¢ into common use, espec headache powders.” And now we have mc ug addicts In these state This is an inside fig ities estimate the number as high as 4,000,000. Thes ave facts, They jndicate that in spite of federal and state islation as to the labeling and the sale of medictne gontaining habit-forming drugs, the use of these dangerous agents fa rapidly spreading. And the gravest feature of the matter the fact that most of the victims of the drug habit do not realize that the “medicines” that they habitually take contain insidious pol Scrutinize the labels of the packages containing the proprietary remedies that you make bold to preseribe for yourself. Under the law, if these concoctions contain poisons, the jabels must declare them, Under the head of “Habit Forming Agents,” The Star will tell tomorrow about the poisons with which we dope our babies LAS Friend—How is your new book Moods,” selling?
