We have stated, and furnished statistics from

entered the store Of druggist, . friend. just
passing out was lady in foe dress and bearing,
though eDfeebled. who had just been making q
purchase of opium Said our friend here is a fact
for you. That lady has just purchased $40 worth
of opium, and she has made similar purchases for
several years, coming once every year, from
know not where, and indeed l have never yet
found out her name She buys about the same
amount each year That lady did not dare to pur-
chase at home tor fear of detection, but when she
wanted opium she obtained II OF dealers residing
at u distance from her place of residence. And
this was MT the only case, "by long shot" that
our friend had had to deal with. Rum may be a
nuisance, but opium is an Infinitely worse one.
