The Boylan Act was a piece of April 1914 legislation in New York State, dealing with narcotics and addiction. The Act predated the federal 1915 Harrison Act, in some ways anticipated it. Charles B. Towns, one of the sponsors of the Act, stated "it takes only five or six days to cure a drug fiend in hospital." That opium and morphine be dispensed only by pharmacists, with a written prescription from a physician Any prescription for opiates required a physical examination by a doctor to establish necessity Prescriptions exceeding four grains of morphine, 30 grains of opium, two grains of heroin, or six grains of heroin must be verified by the dispensing pharmacist with a phone call to the prescribing physician Only physicians and pharmacists may dispense syringes or hypodermic needles Per Section 249a, addicts who break the law may be institutionalized for addiction treatment, addicts resisting treatment could be forced to enter an institution for vagrants In 1917, the Whitney Act weakened the Boylan Act by allowing physicians to prescribe narcotics to addicts in the course of treating their addiction.

The Act was overturned, as it had the unintended consequence of stimulating the black market for narcotics

Horatio Potter, was an educator and the sixth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. Potter "left no literary monument and has, regrettably, no biography, he is scarcely mentioned in the biographies of his older brother Alonzo, Bishop of Pennsylvania, of his nephew, Henry Codman Potter, his successor in the See of New York." Horatio Potter, D. D. LL. D. S. T. D. was born on the youngest of the nine children to Joseph and Anne Potter. The Potters were Quaker farmers who lived near Beekman in New York. "Their Quaker devotion appears in the names they bestowed on their oldest son and only daughter, Philadelphia." Potter spent his earliest years at the family homestead. Paraclete Potter, Horatio's elder brother, was established in Poughkeepsie, New York, where the Poughkeepsie Academy was located. Therefore, in 1812, he had his ten-year-old brother Horatio move in with him and enroll in the Academy, which offered a better education than did the district schools in Beekman. While living with his brother, Horatio went with him to Christ Episcopal Church in Poughkeepsie, he was impressed by the worship service.

During his ten years in Poughkeepsie, Horatio "clerked at various times in his brother’s book store." Horatio remained with his brother through 1822. He wanted a college education, with his brother Alonzo's help. Horatio went to Union College, New York, he graduated in 1826 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. After graduation, Horatio Potter followed his older brother Alonzo into the Episcopal Church, he was confirmed by Bishop John Henry Hobart at St. Thomas' Church in New York and began studying for holy orders. Thus, Potter had no seminary training. Potter was ordained deacon on July 15, 1827, priest on December 14, 1828, he served his several months diaconate at Trinity Church, Maine.” In 1828, Potter was elected professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at Washington College, Connecticut). While there, Potter "took an active part in plans for the enlargement of the college and the erection of its new buildings." Potter was twice married. His first marriage was with whom he had six children. On June 8, 1847, Mrs. Potter, “who had been the loved helpmeet of her husband in every good work,” died.

She left five of them under twelve. In his loss, Potter perceived “the loving purposes of God.” He believed that his loss would add “earnestness and tenderness” to his “efforts to edify and console” his parishioners. Their children were as follows: Charles Henry Mary Jane Anna David T. Phoebe, Robert Minturn, William Bleecker. In 1852, Potter took a holiday in Scotland, during which he met Mary Atchison Pollock, a forty-two-year-old Scottish lady, they corresponded after his return to Albany. Pollock accepted his proposal in 1853; when she arrived in New York, Potter met her at the dock and escorted her to Trinity Church for their wedding. There were no children by this marriage. On February 27, 1833, Potter accepted the rectorship of St. Peter's Church, New York, he was instituted as rector on Saturday, May 11, 1833. In his first sermon, preached the next day, Potter said, “My brethren, I present myself before you today as your spiritual pastor–as your servant for Jesus' sake!... Give me my brethren, I entreat you, your sympathy, your hearty support, above all your fervent prayers.”Potter soon “gained the respect and regard of all his parishioners,” and “a high position” among the men of Albany.

In all the “charitable and philanthropic” enterprises, he served not only as a “judicious adviser,” but as a financial contributor. His ability was recognized by other clergy. Potter remained as rector of St. Peter's for twenty-one years until his election as provisional bishop of New York in 1854. During his tenure there, “he modernized the church both spiritually and physically.”The first act of modernizing the church physically was in 1834 by the purchase of a new organ. This was followed in 1835 by renovating the church building: repairing the floors and pews, painting the interior, a new pulpit, addition of a vestry room, new lamps. In 1847, a new Rectory was built. On June 1, 1835, the parish, having noticed Potter's impaired heath, the Vestry requested Potter to do whatever he thought best to restore his health. Following the Vestry's request, Potter spent the summer of 1835 abroad, principally in England. "He returned much refreshed."On November 7, 1837, in Alton, Illinois, a pro-slavery mob killed the abolitionist and newspaper publisher Elijah Parish Lovejoy.

In response, on November 26, 1837, Potter preached a sermon in which he defended a free press and opposed slavery. Regarding the latter, he said, “Let us not refuse to think sometimes of the poor slave, whose rights to the products of his own labour, to the care of his own happiness, to the direction of his own physical and moral energies are all invaded.... Let us not sit down contentedly with the thought, that this train of misery and guilt, this national blot, is to be perpetuated forever.”In 1837, Potter declined his election as president of Trinity College, Connecticut. In 1837, Potter declined his election as president of Washington College in Maryland. On April 25, 1841, Potter was invited to deliver a Discourse on the Death of William Henry Harrison to the New York State Legislature in St. Peter's Church, after the death of President William Henry Harrison, his theme was "Uprightness and Religious Character
