A WARNING
Some time ago, Sydney doctors warned people that heavy drinking followed by a strong dose of phenoharh tablets could kill. They issued this warning after the City Coroner, Mr Letts, said that in many cases of i>oi soiling traces of alcohol and barbiturate drugs were found in the dead person. Mr Letts said, "It does not take much phenobarb on top of alcohol to kill". Government Analyst. Mr E S. Ogg, warned that "not much” phenoharh was needed to kill if there was a large amount of alcohol in the blood stream. Another doctor said the combination was a "knock-out mixture". —Australian Temp.
