OPIUM EATING "A New York paper
says-"Among the evil practices abroad in
this community opium eaters deserves TO
be mentioned, both on account of its extent,
which is much greater than is generally
supposed, and its pernicous influence. We
happened to know the other day, of a drug
store in back street, that had six regular
opium customers and upon further inqui-
ry, we found that nearly all the second
class drug dealers had more or less of this
sort Of customers, who arc females, almost
without exception. Persons addicted TO
the habitual use of either opium or laudn-
mum endcavor to avoid notice by patron-
zing small shops, and purchasing such in
significant quantities at a number Of differ
crt places, as to avoid suspicion. The
habit is most commonly formed during a
period OF illness, (as the drug, at first, is
very offensive to the taste) and, by not be-
ing abandoned on recovery, becomes
strengthened by indulgence. 1t produces
dreamy sensation, serving to release the
victim from the pressure of ordinary cares
and perplexities, and affords an artificial re-
fuge for which unaided nature does not
provide. The subjects of this vice are no.
ticeablc from the dull, bleary aspect Of their
counenances, sallow complexion, and hag.
gard frames. The practice should be uni
versaly trowned upon and repudiatsd.
