been declared illegal by Khedival leg
islation, the drug is always to be OBJ
tanned in the lower dives of Alexan-
2ria, Cairo and Port Said-if one only
knows where to go and how to ask
for it. Manufactured in certain
Islands of the Grecian Archipelago, it

and, eluding the rigor Of Egyptian
customs, as well as the vigilance of
Egyptian spies, finds its way to the
