ACID SUICIDES * Carholic Poison Can No Longer Be Purchased in New York at Retail Drug Stores Except on Doctor’s Prescription. 4 DARLINGTON’S MOVE TO STOP i ), ONE QUICK WAY TO DIE. Druggists Opposed to the New ® Rule and May Fight It, but ie Y Health Commissioner Con- * tends the Law Is Right. \ Concerning the new carbolie acid law passed by the Board of Health, which provides that the poison shall be sold Dy retail only on a doctor's prescrip- tion, Commissioner Darlington sald to ah Evening World reporter to-day: “We have delayed action in this mat- ‘a ter perhaps too long, The moral side of the question has appealed to me for @ long timé. After a view of the sta- tistics presented by the tabulation of wulcides for the past three years a law such as the Health Department Just I seemed Imperative. It ts per- t fectiy appalling to contemplate the number of suicides among women who use carbolic acid as the means of end- ing’ thelr lives, Something radical had 20 be done, and at once, Tae Penal ‘Code and the statutory inw only provide for the registration of sales of poison, ‘We think we have the right to supple ment these lawa by our own enart ments.” ‘The law in question which the Healt Board in its capacity as supervisor of the sanity of Greater New York saw fit to pass reads monly known ohall sold at retail by any cept on a prescription of a phy cian, when tn a stronger solution than 5 per cent.” All that was (necessary under the Jaws of the State was a registry in cities of the second and third classes, such as Buffalo, Syracuse, ‘Troy, In Now York not even the na the buyer need be taken by the p maciat who sold the acid In au suMcient to put an end to tie m man or woman who found this the easiest route tg a world where un * requited jove, faithless man or woman or hunger do not exist, to Other World. Y cid easily reigns suprene. ® “Just look at these lgures,” Commissioner Darlington. “In 1% are, per cent of the males und 47 per cel mn of the females who committed sulcide 4y in New York City selected carbotic} . acid as the means of thet taking of, {Ih 160% per cent. of tho males and ey & per cent of the females used the . ecid to kill themselves. In numbers the = percentage stood for 10 males and 135 females, The average shows that 4 per cent. of the suicides Is due (> care Dolic acid. As far as (he computation goes this year the percentage is about the same, “Now this new law will make {t im- possible for pharmacists to sell carbolle acid to any one without a di is pr wription. Carbolic acid is | ly as an antiseptic and a disinfectant, but when used for such purposes the solution is very mild As the new law Permits the sale of a 6 per cent. solu- {on It will interfere in no way with She sale of the chemical when it ts to be properly and legitimately employed. | Tt was the cheapness of the acid thut RS ". made it so popular witn suicides.” , Tae reformed carbolic acid suicide devotee never wants a second dose of the chemical, Should the hand of the Would-be suicide waver, should the d De dnsutticient, and the paient @over, he or will hardiy wy Wwe @ume life exit twice, Dre Triat Quite Enough, A titroat bu face, grewsoi OLHer AWE Bieusues CHA, ¢ ; the tran of the aca do wut iu and they On, ner, to Uy it agai | but the new iaw will affect the sales Of ceriain druggists and a wail- muy 69 Up from that quarter contesting (ov Vatiaity of the act just passed. 1t| would be surprising to find out tie number of sujes of carbolic acid in a Popular * ‘ten drug store month The ste asked by the ph. vr Woman Keis ine r Whether the buyer look fortorn “a Weary of the world or smiling happy makes little di drug-store man does noi pr & paychologiat, and he goes the Jaw, will permit him Drngeiet Will Fight “The laws not consitt ‘THROWN FROW AUTO one famed ‘en will be annu at it.
