A Morphin Containing Patent Drug

Sik,?Lately a patent medicine in the form of pills under the title of " Jintan" is being sold in the market on a very extensive scale. I myself used them as they were very much extolled for sweetening the breath after chewing of pan. After taking the pills three times (as they were sent to me as a specimen) it struck me that it; must be containing a narcotic drug. To-day subjecting it to qualitative analysis here I find that it certainly contains morphin. Not having all the equipments for quantitative analysis at hand I am sorry I cannot tell you the proportion of the drug. I wish therefore to attract the attention of the medical world and that of the excise department by the article.
