title: Barbiturate abuse.
abstract: The barbiturates are the drugs most commonly abused, and in his paper Dr d'Orban gives the general reader a clear, sober account of the drugs so abused, the pattern of abuse and the prevalence of the abuse of barbiturates. Sadly, some addicts add barbiturates to their abuse of other drugs upon which they depend. Dr d'Orban concludes his survey by telling how those addicted to barbiturates obtain the drugs and the hazards to which they expose themselves.
