EFFECTS OF A DRUG
OPIUM HAS BECOME A MENACE
 TO MANHOOD OF THE BRITISH.
Its Consumption Has Been Largely Increasing of Late ysar5-Recent Court Cases Give an Idea of
 Extent of the Habit.

London News.
 Public attention has recently been drawn to the drug habit by cases in the courts. Sometime ago q man and woman were placed in the dock together. Their condition of nervous distress was pitable, and they implored the magistrate to al- low them to have morphia. Their suffer- ings were so acute that the request was eventually granted and the immediate re- suit was marvellous. Their misery and detection disappeared and for a time at least they seemed perfectly restored. More recently q man charged with dis honest dealing told the magistrate that he was a victim to cocaine and while un- der the influences of the drug did not know what happened. Inquiries show that the vice is much more common than is generally imagined. Naturally it is in tended to be q secret sin. but the victim of the habit quickly becomes mentally and physically demoralized to an extent which renders the services of the doctor
 imperative.
 On this subject Dr. Forbes Winslow speaks with the authority of one who has made a close study of the disease for many years. To q reporter he entered in- to the matter at some length and during the interview quoted from a number of works which he has written on the sub ject. "In my opinion,' he said. "ono of the chief causes of degeneration in the human race is indulgence in opium, or the drug habit. In China there are up- ward of 3,OO0OOO opium caters and the number is gradually increasing.
 Tn one year the value of opium which was sent into England was over $2,0O0,000. One curious thing in reference to the drug is that 1t takes hold of the individ- ual absolutely; it degenerates him and makes him quite unfit for the ordinary duties of life. The first symptoms are feelings of content and slight excitement, followed by laughter of an involuntary nature. At the first stage the smoker has feelings of delight, while the temperature is increased. Circumstances which hap pened long ago present themselves in all originality and the future appears bright. As the habit increases this feeling of eX- altation is followed by depression. At first the complexion and particularly the eyes. but afterwnrd the face becomes in- tensely pale and generally insensibility supervenes"
 Do these conditions apply also to those who are addicted to cocaine?"
 "Yes, entirely, When l was in New York some time ago I spent a good deal of time in the Chinese quarter and it was a most ordinary thing to see .-merican women there who had become fascinated by the habit hanging out of the windows. They had become it's victims to such an extent that they were incapable of leav- ing the quarter. Many of them were ladies'"
 Does the drug habit assume serious proportions here fin England?"
 ''Yes, 1t is very common thing, chiefly among ladies. Usually it is taken in the beginning to allay pain. Without doubt large amount of laudanum is consumed by the upper classes in conjunction with

 q think I have become so," said he. And you were fortunate' went on. Ito have fallen into their hands instead of into those of the swasb-bucklers. who of late years have laid waste the public taste and terrorized every library, public and private. in the land
 Alas" he sighed, q was not content to remain in the cabbage patch. and even as you have suggested, did fall into the hands of the swash-bucklers, and how they swashed and buckled! Familiar as am from my youth up with the valiant deeds of Scott's heroes. used as am to the Magogian achievement of DArtignan and the rest of the goodly company that we owe to the fertile pea of Dumas, never have been so shocked. terrified and pros. trated as by the heroes of modern TO- nance. Such careless use of firearms 1: such recklessness with spurs, bikes. and swords: such freedom with the great names of history; such anachronistic ter- minology-today I trembled for my head at every step as I trod my way through the preposterous pasturage of your latter day chivalries.'
 You did not think much of them?" I asked. '

When ask for wool I take it aniss to be offered shoddy. and I see no more req son why should go to Miss Sarah Sankey Skewbail.

that the state of the weather was re- corded and an elaborate diary written up each day setting forth the pedestrian s condition. As nearly every one knows. Captain Barclay proved successful in his lengthy undertaking. This interesting diary. however, discloses the fact that he not only came within an ace of losing the match, but it was only by exercising the most determined courage that he sue ceeded in overcoming the painful exhaus- tion resulting from the loss of regular sleep for such a lengthy period. His weight at starting was substantial. being 13 stone pounds, while at the finish, af- ter taking a hath and nourishment and sleeping almost continuously for severn teen hours. he was able to turn the scales at Il stone The pedestrian's bill of fare during this walk was no less gi- gantic than the task accomplished.
 Breakfast at consisted of such trifies as a roast fowl. washed down with pint .of strong ale, and followed by two cups of tea, with bread and butter. After what appears a very lengthy interval lunch followed at F, either from beef steaks or mutton chops. of which latter commodity his chronicler guardedly re- marks that the captain ate a considerable quantity. Dinner at consisted either of roast beef or more chops, with which he drank porter and two or three glasses of wine, and to wind up the day as he com menced, supper at il consisted of a cold fowl. tho pedestrian having, we are told. consumed five or six pounds of animal food during the twenty-four hours, gar nished with such vegetables as were in season.
 After 1877 the craze for long distance walking seems almost to have died out, only to appear again q quarter of cen- tury ago, although in the interval two members of the fair sex were credited with equaIling Captain Barclays great walk, truly remarkable instances of fem mine endurance If properly authenticated. In 1851. also. a sprightly country dame, wanting barely 16 years to become a cen tenarian. suddenly resolved to see some- thing of the world and. accordingly, Mary Callnack. a Cornish fishwoman actually succeeded in walking from Pen zance to London. a distance of nearly 300 miles, in order to view the wonders of the great exhibition in Hyde park. Mary created a great sensation there, being noticed by Queen Victoria.

alcohol It is hard and fast rule that a dipsomaniac is also addicted to the mor- phfa habit. but not vice versa,
 You mean that Q dipsomaniac who is deprived of drink would try to get drugs, but that a victim of the drug habit does not care about alcohol?"
 Exactly"
 't'Ts the habit increasing in this coun- try?'
 Very much. As long ago as 1872 no less than 356, ,211 pounds of opium were import ed into England, and if the indulgence was measured by this standard the de- cline and fall of the social system might be confidently predicted
 What about the effects?' .i
 Well. they are many. As I have al- ready stated, in the early stages the drug produces beautiful feelings land visions. The feelings of the eater are not merely pleasurable; he experiences great delight and brilliant fancies, which transcend all real and healthy impressions. Without doubt many painters have done fine work under the influence of opium. At first only small quantity is taken, but as the fascination takes hold of the victim tho size of the dose is increased and among the most frequent effects are hallucina- tions of hearing.
 The idea of being fin communica ton with Satan is most common in these cases. But eventually the victim becomes degraded in mind. physically demoralized and mentally diseased. In some asylums in America 8 per cent of the patients were opium eaters. There is no doubt also that 1t stimulates to crime. FTe- quently 1t happens that the victims of drugs will steal things when there is no inducement to do so In Singapore 30 per cent of thCse confined in the house of cor- rection were opium smokers and the of- lenses of which they were guilty were nearly all against property
 And the cure?'
 ''The usual method taken by the doctors Is to reduce the amount of the dose by a sliding scale. The victim deprived of the drug is often in state of mania and without relief would frequently lose his reason. It is a well-recognized fact by all the leading authorities that inaSmuch as inebriety can be dealt with by suggestion, SO the same applies to the drug habit. That is the only effective treatment for what is really an incurable disease"
 How do these people manage to get hold of tho drugs?'
 They make all sorts of excuses. Of course, they have to get doctors order but they reveal very great cunning and resourcefulness in securing their onds.'
