NARCOTTM—The fire great narcotics, which are
ankles of tasiSinal consumpti.n in oce pert of the world or
soother, are—tobacco, opium, hemp, betel, and coca.
Tobacco is the one universal narcotic; the others are mi-
nuend by the human race in the following
opium by four hundred millions, hemp (i. e. rter:rrby
between two and three hundred millions, betel by one
hundred millwros, and t,Cli by ten millions. Besides them,
Siberia ban its narcotic fungus the Polynesian Islands their
era; New Granada and the Himalayas their thorn-appks ;
the Florida Indiana their emetic holly; Northern &rope
and America their lodunts and sweet gale, "No nation
so ancient.- says Johnston, "but has had its osmotic
rinotbir from the moat distant times; wine so remote or
isolated. but has found within its own binders a pain-
allayer and narcotic care-dispeller. . . . No other crop..
ev,pt corn, and perhaps cotton, represent more rim nercial
capital, or are tbe subjects of • more saaswhil end anirag
tratE!. and the omen of more commercial wealth." Besides
the various effects which are common to all Ile sir-
cones, each has characteristic' of Its own redeem
reel catalemy, sad exaggerates rather than perverts the seports
of the ruses as to external objects ; the Worn-apple. on the
other hand. mows truly spectral Newtons, and enables the
Indian to converse with the merits of his ancestom. The
Siberian fungus gives insensibility to pain without War-
tering with cosectousness. The common pat ball step all
muscular action, but leaves the perceptive Raissehed,
Cocrulos indicus mites the body drank witheme diediai the
mind. Coca has the wonderful power of nntstalsg tans-
attar strength in the aim nos of food, and of preventing the
waning of the tissues of the body during the greatest end
aunt prolonged exertion. The effects of the different nor-
cota WV not ooiy peculiar, but often opposed. Opium and
Imenieh, common in many of their effects, are opposite in
this—that the former duniniebes sensibility to external Mc
whereas the latter almost infinitely increams it.

Tobacco s mental activity; opium and hashish in-
