last week from tin effects of a dose of laudannin and whiskey was anxious to get nit of this world which seems to have lost all its charms for him but his death has called the attention of the people more neutely t the dangei of knock-out drops which have in recent years resulted in numerous tracic deaths it is the result of the dis obedience of the laws relating to the bale of poison of anv kind the recent acts of the assemblv on the subject not ably the acts of 1887,1891 1895 and 1897 — i have not vet seen the sinned and certified act of 1001 ought all to be repealed and a well considered law pass ed rnqfe stringent in its provisions and penalties relating to the vending of poisons the law is very strict so far as it applies to druggist and pharma cists every package of poison sold must have the name ami aimress of the seller and the word poison either plainly written or printed on the package or bottle or both by tlie law anvone sell ing or dispensing poisons destructive to human life in quantities of live grains or less before delivering them must en ter in a 1 j deuce of the buyer the name of the article quantity sold and the purpose for wi.ieh it is said to be intandod which book must be preserved two years and be open to the inspection of the coroner and the courts it is safer therefore never to sell poisons destructive to human life ex cept on the prescript ion of a well known and reputable physician laudanum is a tincture of opium there are three grades a fluid ounce of american lau danum should contain the soluble matter of one-tenth of an

passion rlowei or fruit opium is a stimulant narcotic poison which may produce hallueina fiions profound sleep or death an opium joint is a low resort of opium bookers opium is the inspissated juice of the white poppy and is obtained from inciwions made in the capsules of that plant of the species papever soiunifermu inspissated simply means thick or thickened by evaporation it is supplied principally i believe from asia minor india china egypt and california morphine or morphia is nianufactui ed from opium or a bitter white al kaloid found in it 1 n whatever form we get it for medicinal purpose itis to cause sleep and alleviate pain the use of it in general but seduclve and dangerous storekeepers who deal in deadly poisons take a fearful risk and responsibility and liquor sellers wlio nsei it for knock out purposes are la constant peril of their licenses no respectable innkeeper will permit the use of it if he knows it if they would get their liquors from the distillery for instance of such famed notoriety for perfectly pure li quor as metienry o son at lienton columbia county pa where the lead ing hotels get their choicest supply for the best class of

gets 11 liias beforehand he cannot try a case impartially ; no two cases are alike there will always be some variations and nearly always be some views pre sented which bad not lectured in any otliei
