Prominent San Antonio Doctors Back Burg in Narcotics Trial
In federal court on Tuesday, physicians and druggists testified for Dr. Edward M. Burg in a narcotics case. Dr. O J Forthast admitted treating addicts but quit amid narcotics agents scrutiny and questioned whether cures exist. Elmo Palmer testified Burg focused beyond narcotics, while Mrs Faelyn May denied filling narcotic prescriptions beyond a daily limit. County health officer Dr T N Goodson claimed some addicts could function normally with small steady supplies and said withdrawal could drive them to crime. He also said he used the iron treatment in jail and rejected AMA membership.
