If the supply of opium is cut off, consumers of opium suffer neath and metal woes and also waste their money. Consequently, parents and older relatives, even if they make themselves consumers, although serable now to abstain, will be compelled to advise their sons and young ones against it.

From this it may be seen that the feeling in favour of prohibition of opium is universal, and if the prohibition was carried out, the Government would be assisting humanity to regain its original virtuous state.

The longer opium is consumed, the more difficult it is to treat off the habit, and opium consumers grow shaped and lazy. The habit, if long contracted, becomes confirmed. Opium consumers, even if they wish to break themselves of the habit, suffer from many diseases.

It is only needful revenue that is the obstacle to prohibition. There is no need for any suggestion on these principles.

Those who are smered with the habit wish to put a step to the reproach of their family.

Opium is used as a prophylactie against fever, or rheumatism, or malaria.

The general habit of opium smoking has arisen from the neglect of the government to prohibit the practice.

In any case, the growth of opium in India is prohibited, and the Chinese government has made much endeavour to prohibit its use.
