LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Doctor and ths "Bop Tlandi." " Portland, Or.. April 20. To the Editor Of The Journal In your Usue of today I read an article signed "E. E. R,",Jn which the writer tries to blame the physician for the making of dope fiends. The writer say a: "It seems etrange that no one cares enough about this ter rible curse to humanity to And where the fault lies." Just be easy, E. B. R. ' .There are plenty who care, and plenty with sufficient nerve to sign their names , In full, ao as to avoid suspicion of a guilty conscience. The writer say. that , ttlie physician gives an opiate and con ' ' tlnues giving t perhaps for weeks. LmI i tne say that .no Intelligent physician 'over will write out a prescription for an opiate that will last for weeks. If an i loplate la prescribed It is always ia such ' ,quantlty as to relieve acute pain, and jaatlng seldom longer than three days. ; If the box or bottle which .contained . 'period, on whose authority it It done? ' If the box or bottle which contained the medicine is presented to the drug : store for refilling by. the customer, does - the druggist ask if the attending phy sician desires refllllngf, , Poea be tele i 'phone the doctor and ask permission to refill T : No, no; be simply refills and that settles It. Again, a prescription for an opiate, and for that matter all pre seripttoasj beer date en whteh It waa written. New. If a blank 1 presented at the druggist's bearing date of the middle ages It will be filled Just the same. The question never suggests It self: who is this doctor? Does be want his prescription refilled? We will not speak of the many cases where any quantity of the stuff is sold to flendtf never asking for a prescription by the physician, eh? No, my friend, let us hope that alt practicing physicians will nil their own prescriptions, which I have done and always shall do, or else patronise a druggist who will not refill without an order. Then, and only then, will no more fiends be made and doctor and druggist attend to their business respectively. . Let me say in conclusion that .articles like the one signed E. E. R. will soon wake up all physicians to the realisa tion that their own and the lnterest-of tneir patients are best preserved if pre scriptions are filled by themselves. ' AUO. C. BCHROEDER, 648 First street.
