charged with bein;.; insano through exces
sive indulgence io morphine ami cocaine? ,
tlie hitler a powerful narcotic of which
up to that lime little hail bet ll hoard. He
was taken before Judge Prendergast, wits
declared to bo insane, ?mi) given a son?
tence of time months in the Washing
tonian home. Altera fort nigh t's May at
the home Dr. Bradley wem to Canada,
his old home, wherein- gave himself up
entirely lo tho demands of tho drug, tho i
fascinations of which coiuplt tely on- !
thralled him. Practice and h.mic were ;
gone, and he gave free rein to his vice. !
Ho returned lo Chicago and was sent-to
thc insano asylum, where u completo euro j
w as clTectod, mid he resumed Iiis practice, ;
only to lind himself deserted by his
clients and his reputation impair??!.
Consolation for Ibo reverses carno with
cocaine, lo which ho again bectuno n
victim, and there wore months wlieil ho
absolutely lived bi tho Mate of mind it
produc tl, securing it by hook or crook
until bia last possession was gone ami his
family beggnreil.
The physician wont to tho gutter, an .'.
n year ago was begging for cocaine :'l
?trug stores or securing it by llctitious
orders on druggists. Then la- dkup
peaml. lie was ? ccnsinnally heard from
ia Canada and tho east until Inst tall,
when thc papers recorded his arrest in
New York ? ii.v for endeavoring to obtain
a supply of ns-;.ino hy representing bim
rolf as a messenger si ni from ono phy
sician to another, in tho police court
Ibo gaunt, enunciated, ragged man told
his story of want nnd noe. j? : .tl ti.-.
causes which brought them nbout. Al
that time Ito was usii ; sixty grains of
cocaine it day. He waa sent to Bellevue
hospital to di .. There ho wa- lound by I
tho* manager cf the Christian bi.ua>.
where ho was nursed back to mental und
physical vigor.
Dr. Bradley was reluctant to dwell on
tho episodes thus briefly given, bul con
versed itv ly ?>n oiler circumstances of
his life.

mented oh ni' self a.: tin and again to see ,
just how f,r this limit extended, und '
learned jusl wher-\ when and how t
give injections. Physicians then be
lie ved that tito effects of the drug were
similar to I lioso of morphine. To dis
prove this I tried actual cautery by ap

felt no p;.m. mid tliero wan not thu

passed several hourn of tho night in it ;
study before n mirror, watching its ef
fect on myself. But I never realized
(hat it was ol t aning a mastery over mc.
Its fascinating powers were unknowu to
the profession. 1 was Ulundi rsi ruck when
I found that the drug waa absolutely

. With nil your cxperionco willi co

the reporter.
.1 linn!: it is n grand drug, with re
markable properties,. nd destined t" lake
the place of ollit r ?nd chloroform, lt can
be u-cil without danger of death, li
produces no i misen or ? rostration. It i?

than most men, but I have no compre
hensivo idea of its possibilities Sci
entists are only in tho experimental Bingo

"What are the ofF. ats of thc drug:''
"To begin with, it i like tito effects of
any stimulant nt certain stages, but it is
not stupefying, ?is is opium. The person
taking it ba. n fet ling llint < vorytlung is
lovely and serene, of perfect content
ment and universal satisfaction. All
things seem peri. et. Thoro aro nono of
the fright ful illusions which ceiin from
liquor or oilier stimulants. Excessive
quantities, though, enhse great irritabil
ity. The duration of the ?.licet ixl about
two hours, and is succeeded by a feeling
of depression and exhaustion. Bul there
is none of the disturbance of tho mind or
nervous system Hint follows drunken
ness. The victim loses all strength after
each indlllgOllCO, mid there lies the chief
danger in using cocaine, lt weakens tho
action of (ho heart, milking sudden elmina
or excitements dangerous, as was ex?
.mplilied iii tllO sudden death of a physi
cian, who engaged in a quarrel wit?i u

of tho habit are degrading. It Will deaden
