He Is only twenty' two years old and Is a college gradU' ate, but so strong a hold has the drug habit on him that Friday he sold hts coat In an effort to secure enough money to persuade some druggist to sell him a supply. Falling In this, he came to the hos pital. Ho was told that a email dose of the drug would be given him to re Move his sufferings temporarily, but that was all that could bs done for him. But I don’t want any more of tho stuff,” he sold, nervously. "I have been cursed by It for three years and I want to break away from It. What want Is a doctor who will help mo get on my feet again. I know I never can do that while I am taking mor phlne, for ae long os I can get that I don't bother about anything else In the world." Unfortunately, »the hospital Is not prepared to cmrt for such ennee, ns the plan to have drug victims treated at tho medical colleges has not been perfected. The young man was given a tonic substitute, but the physician who talked with him said later that he would sutler the torments of tne damned for a month or more If he kept away from morphine.
