The poor wretch, DR.. sanford who 20
abandoned himself to the use OF opium tnat
TO obtain it he became thief and fell iAto
the hands Of the police, was sent to the pcnI.
Tertiary the other day for his crime. lli-
case is one OF the most shocking in all the
annals Of opium.eaung. Although but
thirty years old, he may be laid 20 be utter
~ destroyed, both physically and mentally.
He had been in the Tombs nearly week,
yet Ms stnpor seemingly Is heavy when
he was brought into court a. at the time Of
hi. arrest. lie had either lawyer nor q
friend TO intercede for him, and the court
had to assign him counsel. The miserable
man, who had only few years ago been
prac,cing physician, had become mere
driycling imbccllc, with mind almost en-
tirely gone and body covered from head to
foot with sore, made by his own hand when
forcing the destructive drug into his system.
"Oh, do not hang Inc do not hang me , let
me be shot" was all he could say when
questioned in the court. Physicians tell
me that the opium habit steadily increases
in New York, and | am informed by drug
gists that the demand tor opium in its yarr-
Gus forms is greater now than they have
vet known ii TO be. Both physicians and
druggists say eop!e not familiar with the
subject have no idea OF the extent to which
the passion for opium prevails. There are
scores OF persons in New York so habituat-
ed 10 the drug that each consumes as much
d ily ~ would Kill half a dozen persons not
accustomed to the Use OF ii. 4 physician
said to me not long since, when speaking on
| this subject, that doctors are more exposed
| to the dangers Of opium than any Other
| class. because it is always within THEN
reach, and many fall into the habit of using
it for the most triiling personal ailments
A doctor who committed suicide a few
months ago, under circumstances which
made his death sensational, is believed b!
his friends to have been a victim Of the
opium habit.
