His wife was addicted to the drug, and as a result after thirty years spent in getting a home together, ho / had been involved in trouble, and had had to mortgage his property. He had tried everything under the sun. The victims of the, drug suffered ‘‘all sorts of imaginations, and took tlieir husbands to Court.” “My wife,' 1 ho concluded, “lies in front of me almost at death’s door filled up with ehlorodyne. I don’t know the minute she may pass away. In God’s name, do your utmost for the sake of humanity.”
