"We, as a profes sion, use little cocaine or other narcotics In our prsctlce. much less than are used by other schools of medicine, but while we may believe In national prohibition and In the principle represented by the Harrison law, this committee does not want to go further in Ita recommenda tions, or take any political action other than the singlo recommendation com mending this great law."
