They roported, inter alia : "In reply to questionnaires sent to health officers of State, County and Municipalities, the Health Commission of New York City reported a total of 103,000 addicts, eciunl to 1.8 per cent, of the population; . and on this- basis there would bo 1.908,000 addicts in the U.S.A."-See N.Z. Prohibition Handbook, 1919. OVER ONE MILLION AFFECTED The Drug Habit is more prevalent in urban than in rural -areas. The effect of Prohibition on the situation could not be definitely determined bv the committee. "The consensus of opinion of those interested in the subject appears to be that the number of addicts will increase under State-wide Prohibition." That is the finding of this Congressional Committee, and it adds:— "The committee is of opinion that the total number of DRUG ADDICTS IN U.S.A. EXCEEDS ONE MILLION AT THE PRESENT TIME."—See N.Z. Prohibition Handbook, 1919. THE SEVEtf DEVILS OF PROHIBITION There is- over one and a-half per cent, in cities and.one per cent, in country districts of the people addicted to the evils of Opium, Cocaine, Hashish, Herion, Chloral.

The Seven Devils of Prohibition are destroying the people of America. WHERE THEEE WAS ONE DRUNKARD THERE ARE NOW TEN DRUG FIENDS.
