Opium-Eating Among Brooklyn's Residents and Beyond

OPIUM-EATING is not confined to the “Heathen Chinese.” One of the Brooklyn papers says that there are individuals in that city who consume from $75 to $100 worth of this drug per year. A country physician says if he could have the exclusive sale of the opium consumed in the town where he resides, he could make a fortune without charging exorbitant prices.
