MUST AID VICTIMS TM, Harrison act ha ildeatepped thli rtei for the reason that prohibition Ml treating person could hardly be sup taftest a a revenue measure, and secondly eemWe It was Impossible for the framers taw Karrlson act to know what provl 4M ech State la prepared to make for the care of its unfortunates. I think It must be admitted that If any Stnte has made, or Is prepared to make, absolutely no pro vision to relieve these persons, then It WouW be positive barbarity to make a wfcefeeaU prohibition against treating them fcy physicians. "There may be many cases which can be properly treated by physicians with some heps of a cure. For example, persons of tMetHgence, who are only slightly addict e4 and who have a very favorable chnnce fcr recovery If they co-operate with their physicians. The opinion of many medical saefl. Is that they may be cured by a grad ual reduction of substitution of drugs. These who can be placed under the care of a nuns In their homes and compelled to submit to n gradual withdrawal of the rug. Agnln, those who are suffering from erne disease, even though such disease re sulted from drugs. "The underworld cases In general are Met susceptible to this sort of treatment. If phyrtelans were Invariably high-minded men there would be no necessity of this v control ; but, unfortunately, a certain per centage permit themselves to be used by these victims aa a method of continuing their vice. "It seems that there must be State or county Institutions provided, and until such Institutions are provided I don't believe we have any right, even If we could, to stop their treatment by physicians, even though It be In Itself a great evil. "An act was passed which provided for such an Institution, and I understand that ths ground has been bought, but that there la no appropriation yet for the building of what must bo a vast Institution. It would seem, therefore, that before anything can be done along this line some assur ance should be given that these victims will have some place to go and will not be driven from the care of physicians. "If legislation does not provide seme place whese these patients can be prop erly treated great hardship must be en dured by them, and their situation may produce legislation to mako adequate pro vision for the commitment and care of such patients at both State and municipal in stitutions, "Therefore we must Insist on a section ' that an appropriation be made for such Institutions. FOn HDAVT PENALTIES "Provision should be made for the re moval of the license of any physician who Is addicted to the use of narcotic drugs or who has violated the taw. A heavy pen alty should be put upon the false or fraudulent Issuing of prescriptions. "We have considered the provisions rec ommended by Mr. Towne, of New York, In regard to the sale of tho hypodcrmlo needles upon prescription only, but after we were advised by Samuel Itosengarten we have decided not to Insert such a clause. Such an Immense amount of legitimate prophylaxis la carried on In the Injections of scrums containing no narcotic drugs that the requirement of a prescription would be an unwarranted burden." John F. Landls, speclat field Investigator ef the citizens' committee, appointed by Mr. Kane to Investigate the drug scourge In Philadelphia, urges that a course of In struction as to the dangers of narcotic drugs be Included In the curriculum of the publlo schools. Especially since the extent of the drug aeeurge became known havo .physicians of high standing been devoting their earnest -T " Cttentlon to a matter of a cure for drug fiends. Drs. Joseph Mclver and George K. Price have conducted an Inquiry Into the subject of a cure and have applied a ' specified treatment to more than 147 caBes of "dope fiends" at the Philadelphia Hos pital The physicians agree with social and mis sion workers that unless there Is a suc cessful rebuilding of the moral nature after the patient has been cured of his craving fer his particular drug, he will revert to narcotic drugs at the first temptation. Dr. Horatio C. 'Wood, Jr., said: "With medicines we can cure a patient of his craving for drugs, but unless we can give htm back his mora)a and build up his self respect he will soon slip Into the old ways. It Is a godsend for a drug fiend to get re ligion or to win the love of a good woman. Religion and a woman give the 'dope fiend' something to fight for." The gradual withdrawal treatment was applied by Doctors Mclver and Price at the Philadelphia Hospital. Only a very few of the 147 cases treated were permanently cured. The majority of them returned to their old habits soon after leaving the In stitution. The physicians have made a re port, which says: I V "With the morphine cases we found that with the exception of a few long standing ease, patients who were taking exception ally large doses, the drug could be with drawn In from ten days to two weeks Without causing any special discomfort. As regards the permanency of results, a large percentage of our patients have returned for a second treatment, some for a third, and a few for a fourth. A few, perhaps, remained free from the drug, but only a few. 1 t. "While we do not Indorse the statement ef one writer that the morphine habit Is as Incurable as Inoperable cancer.' our ex perience would cause us to be skeptical re garding the high percentage of permanent eures reported by proprietors of certain In stitutions devoted to treatment of drug ha Wits. "We found heroin not only less severe in Ka effects than morphine, but also easier to withdraw. Cocaine Is readily withdrawn and abstinence phenomena are not as severe M In the case of morphine. "All drug addicts should be placed where 'they can be detained until It is considered sale by the physician In" charge for them to leave. An Institution for the treatment ( these cases should preferably be located M the country or suburbs and surrounded by ample grounds. The building should be f iiwdern construction, with plenty of light aa4 ventilation, and preferably each pa Meat should have a separate room. A bydretherapby room Is desirable; electrio batteries for massage will prove of great value; olosets for drugs to be used must be kept locked and concealed from view."

II. More than a third of the territory taken from Bulgaria by the Rumanians at the close of the second Balkan war has already been reconquered by the Oerman-Bulgarian forces. The Rumanians and Russians are again In retreat toward the Danube, abandoning still more positions east and southeast of the fortress of Slllstrla, said Budapest dls patqhes today. In a little more than a week the com bined German and Bulgarian forces have captured far more Rumanian territory than the Allies have been able to take of Oerman territory alnce the beginning of the war. Two Rumanian fortresses, Tutrakan and Slllstrla, have fallen to the Invaders. The Rumanian and Russian prisoners now total more than 30,000. Large captures of guns have seriously affected the Rumanian ar tlllery supply. The capture of Slllstrla, om dally announced yesterday afternoon, Is ex pected to cause the early withdrawal of the Russo-Rumanlan force still operating near Dobrlo, in southeastern Rumania. The force that occupied Slllstrla la advancing eastward, while a Bulgarian army continues to move northward along the Black Sea coast The enemy already Is In a deep pocket and an eastward advance of twenty miles by the Germans will make Ms with drawal difficult. Whether the German-Bulgarian advance marks the beginning of a real drive on Bucharest, newspaper crltlcti here confess they are unable to dselde.

Dixon, State Commissioner of Healtn. 'They are crazy things," said Doctor Dixon today. "They can bo put In no other class. Far from being a menace to the community, the hospital Is a protection." The hospital was rusned to completion under police guard from Radnor township and will be ready to receive fifteen patients Wcdnesdny. No deaths nnd no new eni of Infantile paralysis reported in the city up to noon today gavo added hope that the worst of the epidemic Is over. A marked decrease In cases nnd deaths has been noticeable the last few days. ALL MAIN LINE NOT OPPOSED Tho threats to burn the hospital becauso of fear that the presence of patients would spread the contagion do not represent tho true' spirit of the Main Line resldenti, Doc tor Dixon said. Sensation-mongers scat tered the reports, he jald, although he ad mitted that the precaution was U'.icn of havlng'pollce guard the building. i'The finest spirit of co-operation has been shown by people of the Main Line," ho said. "For example, the plumbers who finished their work last night after on all day Job contributed both materials and time. . "As for .the persons who made the threats, they should'be examined and sent to an asylum. Their threats "were actuated by a fear that a depreciation In property values would follow the building of the hos pital. They take ten times more risk al lowlng'thelr children to travel than by hav ing a hospital near." The location of the hospital Is central, and yet Isolated, he pointed out. The near est house Is barely within Bight, strips of woods and a railroad track forming the boundaries of the site. There Is absolutely no dancer of the building spreading the contagion, as every sanitary precaution will be taken, he said. Fear of contagion and that the disease might spread along the Main Line Is the reason advanced for the threats. It was Intimated today that since they were unable to stop the building of the hospital by physi cal force, the wealthy suburbanites would attempt to serve an Injunction on the build ers. Financial aid for the project was of fered by Samuel M. Vauclaln, vice presi dent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works; John S. Clarke, of Ardmore, and others. The hospital Is being erected on a corner of Mr. Vauclaln's estate. The threats have been received chiefly by the hospital au thorities at Bryn Mawr.
