A Popular Delusion Dispelled
I specially commend to the reader the Jact that a single province of Western China produces more of that valuable drug ;±han the whole of our dominions. That quantity could.be immensely increased, so that by stopping the importation of opium ' into China from India, is a mere delusion. Many of the ideas which are entertained about opium in this country descend from the period when it was smuggled into China.
