they are informed through the Foreign Office, that a
proposal has been put forward at the Opium Conference
now sitting at the Hague *that the participating Govern-

Opium:-
"Raw Opium: -
"Raw opium is the spontaneously coagulated juice obtained from the Capsules of the Papaver somniferum, and which has only been submitted to the necessary manipulations for packing and trans- port.
Raw opium includes powdered opium and granulated opium as known to the trade*. "Prepared Opium.
