Dear Dector Remig:  (Terough the Director )

sci wee ates os anes inion in Philadelphia rooantiy,
I am sending you under separate cover about one hundred and sevent
gopies of a questionnaire for persone with the drug habite

The idea we had was that you would get the data from medical addicts with
whom you come in contact and after they were collected, I would add the
date I have and we would then write a joint article desling especielly
with the question whether heroin as used formerly in medical practice

was a dengerous drug in the sense that it cawed addiction ef persona
whe were given it for medical purposese My ides has been that the use

of herein in medical practice seldom resulted in addiction, although
when used in the underworld for dissipation only it doubtless has
produced numerous addictse The other data asked for in the questionnaire
are incidental but valueble and will help to round out the articles

The data on the questionneire are wanted only from eddicta who were
addicted by the prescribing of an opiate by e physician for a disease,
or from addicts who undoubtedly took an opiate for selfemedication
for a disease and.became addicped because of ite en ie who Lome
addicted to opie because of the influense of associates

for the thrill of it or for other inexcusable reasons Fhe contin
ats gens underworld addicts) are at no interest for the purpose of
this ecucye
