LICENSED TO KILL.
To the Editor. It is, I believe, true that within the ast month two patients in Dunedin have, on medical ; dvice, received doses of opiates which put them into a sleep irotu v/hich there was no awaking. I don’t know what is the certified cause of death in either case, but if the above statement be true, should it not have been “ Killed according to 1 iw.” Have the, polica heard anything of these cases ? If they have, is it their bus ness to ascertain and report on the facts? If not their business, is it anybody s ? Had the deaths I allude to occurred * n th® hands of some unfortunate midwife, what an outburst of holy horror and righteous indignation we would have seen,—l am, fee., _ ~ OBSERVER. \ Bunedin, Novembar 15.
