The General Secretary of the Anti-am just. Jonging for you to come this Oplum Association suggests, that police should employ a doctor or phar macist to separate narcotics from useful drugs, when a big seizure is made. On Saturday at his suggestion a large quan- tity of st.ychnine crystale in bottles, manufactured by a reputable British firm was saved and sent to charitable bos pitals. This drug is very expensive and in the very opposite to a narcotic. Several pounds of citrate of caffeine, and some quinine were retrieved.

The police and gendarmeria reports show that 1,836 persons were arrested in connection with these seizures, and if the penalties provided by the Chinese Criminal Code were even partially im posed a wholesome deterrent must bare been established.
