"By whom is opium mainly bought"
''By people of all classes. You would
be greatly surprised if should show
a list of my customers who are in the
habit of purchasing this drug. I donoe
mean those for whom it is prescribed BY
physicians, but those who use it as regu..
larly at they would tobacco. These
slaves OF the opium habit comprise law
yers, artists, preachers, merchants and
all kinds of mechanics, tradesmen and
laborers. Women as we'll as men are
slaves to the opium tiend. A certain
lawyer, who was connected with ia
nous trial in neighborng town, has
been known to consume large quantities
OF the drug for many years. He made
long argument near the close of the
trial which was continued seven hours.
Many people wondered how he man

time. Had they noticed that at the end
OF each hour he swallowed an opium
pill they would have known the secret
OF his wonderful endurance [ think
physicians are much to blame for people
acquiring the opium habit
''How sop
Because they are so willing to pre-
scribe it to patients who could get
along without it. An invalid is sleep
less or nervous, and opium is given in
small doses. By and by larger doses
are required under similar circum-
stances, and finally the patient finds
that it is almost impossible to get along
without the drug. The opium habit is
an expensive one. 1t has made wealthy
people poor. In this respect it is as
great an enemy to the human race as
strong drink. There have been great
changes in the drug business during the
past twenty-five years. A quarter of a
century ago the physicians gave their
patients a great deal of calomel, now
very little Of this drug is prescribed.
Twenty-Five years ago the homeopathic
school of medicine was ridiculed by
majority of the people. At the present
time it is very popular. When was a
boy the Thompsonian system of treating
diseases took the people of the United
States by storm. Packages of prepare
tons of roots and herbs prepared ac-
cording to the Thompsonian formula
were to be found upon the shelves Of
every drug store. The name of the
founder of this system was known to
every household. Now we seldom hear
it mentioned.-N z. Mail and Express.

less important to note what charming

would rather have listened to them
than to much learning and wisdom.
She was charmingly dressed in a
fashion which is now deservedIy stig-

he had rarely seen ANYTHING so dgni-

had been awaiting his comm ssion, had
departed this life, leaving two daugh

had thereupon gone to London, and
had there made a living for herself and
her young sister, it was believed, by
writing for the magazines. Certain
poems and stories bearing her name
had reached even to Gorbay, and there
was general belief there that in the
outer world she was famous. But an
uncle in the North-the Farmers were

two years later than his brother, the
Vicar, and had left to Miss Farmer
