Misuse of Drugs.—A striking testimony of the terrible results of the use of drugs was recorded in the Mercury, of San Jose, Cal., February 28: "A pitiful scene was enacted in the sheriff's office this morning when Dr. and Mrs. Charles C. Miller were brought from Boulder Creek and examined as to their sanity. The couple are young, a little over thirty, and have become the wrecks that they now are from the use of drugs. The wife, in particular, is a wreck, and when taken to the train, her wails were pitiful. They were both taken to Stockton. They leave a child, an imbecile, which is to be sent to the Feeble-Minded Home at Eldridge."
