Tho Mania For Morphine.

French specialist, sis growing daily and
among all classes. Statistics on the sub
Ject are not easily obtainablo, because NOR
phinc fends are very GRITTY, and because
no exterior symptoms condemn them in
public, as is tho case with drunkards and
epilepsics From what number of drug
gists and physicians have told me, how
ever, estimate there are not less than 90,
600 persons in Paris who use morphine
secretly and almost constantly. Most of
these who belong to this army Of degcner-
ates are women. Indeed, I should put
their plumber a. not less than 30,0O0.

general statement are the following statis-
tics, which have been carefully compiled,
and which show how the vice has spread
