Warning Against Caffein and Cocain Drinks

By Editor

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry in the Federal Government, has presented some startling facts connected with the cocain habit, and asserts that caffein and cocain are the most commonly used drugs in this country, and that the former is consumed in immense quantities through soft drinks at the soda-water fountains, where it is dealt out to children whose parents would not dream of letting them have strong tea or coffee; and he contends that these drinks ought to be prohibited, or else sold under their proper names. We pass this warning on to our readers.
