Why Do People
Take Drugs?
The use of habit-forming drugs in
the United States has grown to an
alarming extent. It is estimated
that in New York City alone there
are several hundred thousand driM
addicts. The habit is the more
insidious because often acquired
innocently by the unsuspecting
victim through legitimate mcdicat
use. The only way to cope with
this terrible evil is to warn against
its awful results. It is with this
purpose that Hearst's publishes
