Since then-in July and again in October-the Viceroy has issued a proclamation by Imperial sanotion strictly forbidding the cultivation of the poppy throughout the province under severe panal- ties, including confiscation of the land.

Moreover, publia sentiment has unquestionably been deeply stirred against the growth and use of opium, and will not merely aid but impel officials to take action. Assuming that production will thus be stamped out, the Customs returns of importation will in future give the figures of the actual con- sumption of opium in this province; for there is no overland importation nor likely to be any. It is beyond all doubt that the increase in the ranks of opium smokers has

been practically checked by the combined influence of the Imperial Edicts and populaz, will. Opium smoking is no longer a fashionable pastima, a rakish babit which youth felt urged to acquire'; it is now re- garded as bad form and is distinctly out of favour with young men.

All- opium- smoking establishments have been sup pressed in restaurants inns, drinking houses, and brothels; and in privato homses as well as business places the opium pipe

The society has many im- portant and infiential men among its members; it has branches in almost every town and even in many villages; it is greatly trusted by the authoriting in carry- ing cut anti-opium measures; and it has, in the main, made good use of its influence. Soveral hospitals have-been-established by. the society for the free treatment of opiom smokers, and already, in March last, the society could raport that over 2,300 persons had stopped smoking through the help of their hospitals alope. That many light smokers have succeeded in ridding them- eglves of the habit is unquestionable; but it must be feared that the greater part of the vast army of confirmed smokers will lack the will power to hrank with the vice, and that many in their pathetic efforts to find a cure are deluded by unsera; ules renders of remedies contain-
