People Who Want Opium Are Bound to Get It in Some
Way The Morphine Branch of the Problem Sale
of Laudanum Restricted, But Paragoric Easy
to Buy Anywhere Increasing Popularity
Of ' 'Heroin.' '
W
ASHINGTON, D. C. Bee. 17.
Vhilf. trvlrtfr tn nnnnprate '
......W w .- ... .-W www,
with China for the. suppres
sion of traffic in illicit opium, our gov
ernment is having troubles of its own
in dealing with the problem in the
United States. Under the new law, the
drug is not admitted a our ports un
less intended solely for medicinal use;
yet there is no question of the fact
that something like three-fourths of
the 75,000 pounds of opium imported
annually is consumed by the unfortu
nates known popularly as "dope
fiends."
Dope Fiends of Various Kinds.
Of such dope fiends there are a num
ber of species which is one reason
why the opium problem is so "hard to
tackle successfully. There are, to be
gin with, the makers of opium, who
are said to compose- an army of about
90,000 of our citizens. These, however,
are a minority in the total number
of victims, most of whom pursue the
destructive habit in its more highly
specialized forms particularly the tak
ing of morphine, in pills, or by hypo
dermic injection.
As fast as a stop is put to one meth- j
od of procuring or using the drug, an- I
other springs up in response to an un- j
falling and always profitable demand. '
For instance, the average apothecary
nowadays finds a large and unprece-
dented demand for "codeine"-one of
the alkaloids, or active principles', of J
opium, it is only .about one-third as
powerful as morphine, but acts sim
ilarly. The sale of morphine is forbid
den by law nearly everywhere at the
present time, except on prescription by
a physician, but in most of the states
there is no restriction in regard to co
deine hence the growing popularity
of the latter.
Heroin Also Is Used.
The sale of "heroin" also has greatly
increased since the enforcement of re
strictions on opium and morphine. This
is what chemists would term a "mor
phine derivative" that is to sdy, a sub
stance derived from morphine by cer
tain monkeyings in the laboratory. It
acts just like morphine, and the habit
formed by taking it is not less de
structive. Yet, at the present time,
there is nowhere any law or ordinance
against the sale of "heroin," and the
only charge that can be brought against
adruggist who supplies it Is that he
deals in a dangerous poison.
PareRorlc a Substitute.
But what is the use? Where opium
itself is taken as a habit, it is in most
instances consumed in the form of a
tincture that is to say, -as laudanum.
The sale of laudanum, save on prescrip
tion, is forbidden in most of the states;
yet the "fiends" manage to get it in
5ne way or another. Suppose, how-
ever, that xhey cannot obtain it; they I
can always get paregoric, on the sale
of which there is no restriction what- i
ever. j
Paregoric, as everybody ought to '
know, is heavily loaded with opium. It
also contains about as high a percent
age of alcohol as does ordinary whisky.
Accordingly, the consumer has the ad
vantage of indulging, two habits at
once the alcohol habit and the opium
habit. Most people, unfortunatelyf
have a notion that paregoric is a
harmless and excellent medicine; they
even give it to their babies, for whose
consumption it is deemed especially
beneficial. As for the "dope" fiends,
they know that it has the stuff in it
they want.
But, just for argument, let us sup- 1
pose that neither laudanum nor "co
deine" is to be had, and that the local
supply v of -paregoric has given out
even then the "fiend" is by no means
at the end of his resources, in case he
finds himself in a town where the law
against the selling of "opium -or mor
phine js very strictly enforced. He
goes into the first drug store he comes CONSTITUTION" ON DEC. 31

ly a victim of the opium or morphine
habit makes himself independent of lo
cal sources of supply by sending for
the stuff to some other city. He gets
It by mail, perhaps, from an apothe
cary of liberal ideas fn a place where
restrictions are less severe than they
are at home. Or he may even obtain
it in quaritities from one or another
of the great wholesale manufacturers
of drugs in New York, Philadelphia, or
elsewhere. These firms can sell to
whom they please, and they 'do not al
ways inquire about their customers, if
a check is sent with the order.
Opium a Complex Substance.
Opium is one of the most complex of
organic substances. More than 20 dif
ferent alkaloids, or active principles,
have already been separated out from
it the best known of these, of courser
being morphine. A very large part of
the drug imported into this country is
used for the extraction of morphine,
and what remains as a residue of the
process, when', not throw away, is made
by subsequent chemical manipulation
to yield other alkaloids, such as "co
deine," -"narcotine," "thebaine," "papa
verine," "rhoeadlne," "cryptopine" and
"laudanine."
Morphine, as every tfne knows, has
important legitimate uses in medicine.
Properly employed, it is a great bless
ing, soothing the agonies of many a
sick bed. But, unhappily, the patient
who has once experienced the, .relief
from pain it gives is exceedingly apt
advice of a physician. He, or more '
often she, has the prescription renewed
again and again a thing now forbidden
by law in some of the states-and soon
a fresh victim of the vice is added to
the number of the unfortunate. j
I Taken In Various Ways.
Morphine is consumed to some extent ,
in the form of pills, but, when Intro-
duced directly into the blood stream
with the hypodermic needle, its effect
is more immediate and more pro-
nounced. Hence it comes about that a
great majority of morphine users are
J skilled in practice with the little glass '
EVIL

iiuci v-o.ot, ia " -i.coo.mG 11. o-iij u.u&
store. The effects of the habit are
I nothing short of frightful, and five or ,
six years may be said to represent
about the limit of the life of the user
of the drug by this ingenious and re- j
fined method.
jiany coujrn .neaicines contain it.
Many of the cough medicines most
widely advertised contain considerable
quantities of morphine. So likewise do
the baby syrups. The difficulty, in
deed, seems to be to get away from
opium and its alkaloids, even when one
wishes to do so. Above all, the victim
who is anxious to escape from the
habit should be on his guard against
the advertised "opium cures" and
"morphine cures." These practically al
ways contain morphine", and the suf
ferer, led to imagine that he is being
cured by the "remedy," is in reality
being plunged tyet deeper into it by
heavy doses of that which he is most
i anxious to avoid.
Manufacturers of such preparations
care nothing for the cost in human
lives and human suffering, if they can
make money. Not very many years ago
an unscrupulous medical practitioner
from our own country settled, in Can
ton, China, and advertised to cure the
opium habit. He built up a large for-
,L""e "VTk?-, iTTT "
little P"s whIc.h dld undoubtedly take
away !e cravnig for the drug. Tha
i l..! 1.1- 4-j ;,
reason they took away the craving was
that the pills contained morphine, and
the unfortunate people who bought
them acquired thereby a vice far wors
than that with which they had orig
inally been afflicted.-
Xaturo Supplies Cure.
It is worth mentioning, by the way,
that an opium cure which really seems
to be efficacious, while entirely harm
less, has recently been discovered in
a plant native to the jungles of south
ern Asia, and known to botanists as
Combretum sundaiacum. An "aqueous
extract," made by soaking the leaves
the plant is a vine-in water, serves,
as the medicine. We in this country
are far from realizing what a terrible
curse opium is to the inhabitants of '
China and Malay Peninsula. It is al- !
most as destructive as alcohol is wltn
us though not quite. Hence the eager- j
ness with which multitudes of'Chlnese
and Malays besiege the depots already .
opened by philanthropic societies in I
many towns and villages. So marked

Plans Grovting American Opium.
In conclusion may be mentioned the
interesting circumstance that an appll-
cation was made only a few weeks ago on the floor. He said it was too far
to the collector of internal revenue in for him to get down and he called the
