Sir:

A copy of Reprint No. 1463 from the Public Health
Reports, entitled "Experimental Addiction of Animals to Opiates"
reproduced by the Multilith apparatus at your station, has
recently reached this office.

In this connection you are hereby instructed not to
distribute any of the copies of this reprint which have been made
at your station. The matter of reproducing publications prepared
by the Government Printing Office by means of your Multilith
machine is fraught with all sorts of potentialities for embarrass-
ment to the Service. The recopying of the outside cover on such
publications is particularly dangerous and mst not be done. It
would probably be advisable not to directly reproduce any work of
the Government Printing Office on the Multilith machine but instead

to retype it before copying.
By direction of the Surgeon General.

Respectfully,

WH? 7 v) rteadenrees

Assistant Surgeon General
Division of Mental Hygiene
