The Spread of Opium Eating

THE pernicious habit of opium eating is extending with alarming rapidity. A contemporary states that a village of 2,000 population in Ohio has forty opium users; a village of 1,200 population in Kentucky has over sixty; a village of 75 population in Illinois boasts of six; a village of 1,500 in Illinois claims forty-two; another village in Illinois of 3,500 has from a hundred to a hundred and fifty. These figures indicate a very serious danger to society.—Christian Herald.
