9. At least one half of the adult males, about 5 per cent of the adult women. None under 17 or 18 years of age.

3. The Chinese become weak and anæmic,

4. lazy and shiftless, inclined to become weak or easy-minded. Will steal in order to obtain opium if not able to continue to buy it.

Cannot say regards other races.

They smoke chiefly; but old hands drink decoction with tea in the morning to get them ready for the day's business.

"Injection of morphine is also practised to some extent by the poorer class, though forbidden by Ordinance.

The effects are similar, though injection is said to be quicker in action.

5. The majority are inclined to be temperate?

6. Moderation is not practicable with the lapse of time. To quit is correct; the quantity must be increased in time.

I know no such case.

7. Yes, probably a majority of each class.
