COCAINE AND OPIUM
SECURING PARIS

That cocaine and opium are rotting
the heart of Paris society" Is the
scathing Indictment made in an arr
ticle by Alfred Edwards the founder
OF lie Matn, who, since the tragic
actress. Nine; Lantelme, has been
living in retirement.
These drugs" he states, "are now
in full vogue, especially among the
gllded youth of the capital, on whom
they are working frightful havoc men
tally, morally and physically.
The writer adds that he was induc-
ed to sound the cry Of alarm In con-
sequence of the statements of num-
ber of medical friends, who see day
by day procession Of victims more
or less irremediately injured.
Cocaine, he points out, from being
of the greatest benefit to humanity in
minor surgical operations, has now
become one OF its most frightful
scourges-in Paris, at all events. The
facility with which 1t is taken has
caused 1t to displace morphine alto
gether as a means of both sexes, says
NJ. Edwards. hoping to install mi
nor paradise of Mahamet at home
take cocaine in larger and larger
quantities WITHOUT any knowledge OF
its effects of daily occurrence, while
if those who become its slaves are
not killed at once, they become in
many cases utterly demoralized and
brutalized.
Although the sale of cocaine Is pro-
hibited, like that of morphine and
other poisons, and the honest drug
gist refuses to sell it except on
physicians prescription, certain
number of small establishments pur-
vey it secretly, at exorbitant prices.
.Many night houses on Montmartre
even sell it openly" NJ. Edwards de-
clares. Their proprietors are enrich
ing themselves at the expense OF un-
happy maniacs who seek only new
sensations"
The writer makes an appeal TO Ihe
state to stop once for all this hideous
traffic. which he declares, is sapplng
the lifeblood Of innumerable young
citizens.
While the cocaine consumed in
Paris is imported from Germany, the
opium. which constitutes, according
to this writer, not less crying DAN
ger. has been brought to the mother
country from the colonies.
NAVY officers and common sailors
were the first" it is said, Ito bring
into France this habit from Cochin
China, and it was at the seaports' es-
pecially Toulon, that the first opium
dens were established. Today it is IN
Paris that this mania RACES among
society folk of the younger set.
Enthusiastic young men have turn
ed their bachelor apartments INTO
opium dens of the latest fashion, ana
there is hardly a night restaurant
where one does not hear the quesuon
put among the diners, Where siiail
we smoke tonight?'
The 3 o'clock tea, 1t is asserted is
completely supplanted and dlspiaceu
nv the 10 o'clock opium.
Some of these drug fiends, NJ. Ed
wards concludes, are in the habit oi
taking ouipm and cocaine alternately
The article has caused a strohs
feeling that steps must be taken I'M
mediately to prevent the sale Oh these
"absinthes of the rich," in view oi
the terrible menace which they form
for the future of France.
