English Opium the Curse of China

"Tell the people of great heroes [Britain] that their black dirt ruins our nation, spoils our homes, breaks our hearts." So said a Chinese wife as she pressed her cheek, wet with tears, against that of a missionary lady to whom she had confided the story of the destruction of her happy home since her husband had become an opium smoker. Whatever conflicting testimony there may be as to the use of opium in India, there is but one voice as to the desolation it is causing in China.
