Columbia, Jan. 17.?Messrs. N. J
G. Evans, of Edgefield, and Neuf-.
fer, of Abbeville, in a bill introduc-j
ed in the House, are attempting to
stop the misuse of paregoric. Com-j
plaint has been received from vari-j
ous parts of the State that general;
stores are selling as much as one
pint of the drug, which is being used
as a beverage for the alcohol j
contained in it. It is claimed that!
there is as much alcohol in an ounce !
of paregoric as there is in a likej
quantity of whiskey and not a large,
quantity of opium; that the practice
is doing much to develop the "paregoric
habit.' ' The bill provides that
not more than two ounces of paregoric
can be purchased each weeki
from a licensed druggist. Should
a larger quantity be desired it will;
have to be obtained on a physician's!
prescription.?W. J. C., in News and;
