summary:
  Still, the sleep provoked by opium is not Tired Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep, but death's half-brother, sleep,--a state in which, with reference to opium eaters, their drenched natures lie as in a death; _their_ breath alone showing that _they_ live; while death and nature do contend about them, whether they live or die. His extravagant eulogy of opium, and almost wildly-gay and lively manner of treating such a sardonically solemn subject as the effects of opium, though under the anomalous title, The Pleasures of Opium, show the man to have been morally depraved,[1] and utterly regardless of the influence of his writings.

  This done, I shall quit the subject of happiness altogether, and pass to a very different one--_the pains of opium_. He had accordingly, from the time that I was fifteen, corresponded with me; sometimes upon the great improvements which he had made or was meditating in the counties of M--- and Sl--- since I had been there, sometimes upon the merits of a Latin poet, and at other times suggesting subjects to me on which he wished me to write verses.

summary:
  Mr. Towns's plans for legislative control of drug habits also seem to me wise and far-reaching. Until legislation forced the victims of drug habits by hundreds into Bellevue Hospital in New York, this great institution rarely had one as a patient.

  The Truth about Opium Being a Refutation of the Fallacies of the Anti-Opium Society and a Defence of the Indo-China Opium Trade

summary:
  On the contrary, I feel sure that the growth of Chinese opium would be increased forthwith. Having for so many years had practically all the field to himself, it had never occurred to him that another and more competent witness from China, where all these imaginary evils from opium smoking were alleged to be taking place,--who had had better opportunities of learning the truth about opium than he could possibly have had, and who had turned those opportunities to good account,--should appear and refute his fallacies.

summary:
  But my impression is, that the Greek, taken by itself, this one exquisite language, considered as a quarry of _intellectual_ labor, has more work in it, is more truly a _piece de resistance_, than all the remaining three thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, with caterwauling thrown into the bargain. He looks upon Malcolm Laing as a huge oracle; and, having read even less than Hume, a thing not very easy, with great _naivete_, cannot guess where Hume picked up his facts.

summary:
  A necessity more painful to me by far than that of taking continued exercise arose out of a cause which applies perhaps with the same intensity only to opium cases, but must also apply in some degree to all cases of debilitation from morbid stimulation of the nerves, whether by means of wine, or opium, or distilled liquors. To an expert reader of opium cases it will soon become apparent whether in any given case a patient is taking more than the amount prescribed--and after total abandonment is resolved upon, the question whether the patient is taking opium at all may be decided by a tyro.

  Yes, sir, sobbing violently. Has Miss Mildred Jocelyn ever wronged you? N--no, sir, not that I know of. Therefore it may be guessed that in Roger Mildred might discover more docility and plastic readiness than she desired.

summary:
  Said van Nerekool: I must go and have a look at my gun, and I should think it would be well to take a couple of revolvers. Such then was the mother of Anna van Gulpendam, as she suddenly stalked into the pandoppo and at the sight of Dalima straightway fired up and cried out: So! has that slut come in again? Now then, she continued in her wrath, tell me, you young monkey, where have you been?
