The New York Times March 15, 1911 ____________________ SALES OF HYPODERMIC NEEDLES It is not pleasant to be told, as Mr. Hamilton Wright, Federal Opium
Commissioner, has told us, that "Uncle Same is the worst drug fiend in the
world," consuming yearly more opium than China or any other nation. The United States
uses 500,000 pounds annually in one form or another, a hundredfold more than prescribed by
physicians. Mr. Wright judges that "at least one druggist out of every ten exists by
means of profits from the sale of habitforming drugs, of which, of course, opium and its
derivatives are most important." |
