A monopoly by Government was tried and resulted in a decrease in the receipts in the second year
to less than half those of the first your, lue to the impossibility of coping with the smuggling mud illicit "preparation" of opium. so much additional profit to the Smuggler, The Revenue lost by Government was therefore instead of going to the Farmer who provides the Preventive Service and to the Government, which wes its profits for the maintenance Police, Sanitation, Education, eto. A Govern- ment monopoly is moreover more likely to tend to vonality and corruption of subordinate officists. In view of what I have said it cannot be justly argued that the Government delegates its functions to an individual and loses prestige,. since it co-operates in the duties of search und arrest, while avoiding the odium of employing informers and of making a direct protit by the sale of opium.

The low figures in 1904 and 1906 were due to financial embarrassments of the Farmer in those years, caused by the fact that he had toulored for a larger payment to Government than the monopoly could afford. The payment which stood at $2,041.940 in 1905 and 1906 fell in the next contract (arela 1907) to $1,452,000. In operations of the firm altogether for Home fact in 1906 the Farmer had to spend the

It will be noted also that the amount of opium prepared by the Farner has greatly deerused since 1893 in spite of the acquisition of the New Territories in that year which added about to the population.
Consumption.
Angier's Emulsion is invaluable in Consumption because it not only soothes and heals the lungs but keeps the digestive organs healthy, enabling delicate stomachs to retain, digest and assimilate sufficient quantities of nourishing food; it is, therefore, a superlative nutritive tonic and builder. Angier's Emulsion is prescribed by lung specialists and 'used in consumption hospitals.
