on acquired knowledge of the, thing to be feared. For this new peril there Is no precedent In recital experience. Its Suddenness has found mankind unprepared to meet or combat It. Modern chemistry, largely responsible, as yet offers r.o sure defense against the Frankenstein of its own creation. In Its effort to alleviate human suffering, science has increased the sum toral of human misery, and has lent Itself to the merciless exploitation of the race. About 100 years ago a chemist discovered how to produce morphine from opium. Then the menace extended to Europe, whose traders had exploited opium In Asia to the great degradation and misery of the Asiatics. About fifty years ago another chemist produced cocaine. This Increased the menace apd extended the scope of exploitation for addiction purposes. In 1808 a chemist discovered heroin, another child of opium, and four times as powerful as morphine. Then the present stage of the menace, now a pressing peril, began. In 1909, heroin appeared In America in the practice of medicine. At first it was not beUeved to be habitforming. The medical profession after a time outlawed Its use. It Is no longer recognized as a legitimate drug in medical practice. Soon, however, heroin was recognized as more capable of commercial exploitation than any other narcotic. The great expansion of narcotic addiction In America, given Impetus by heroin, dates from about 1910. This expansion continues almost unchecked, in spite of legal restraint and efforts at salvage of victims. European chemists have discovered how to manufacture narcotics from coal-tar. New drugs ore anticipated more powerful than thos> now used with such deadly results. NEXT: "EXTENT OF TIIE PERIL." ’CONVENTION DISCUSSED Credit Men Hear National Field Representative at Meeting.
