Threatening Social Evil.

Fashionable Stimulants and Their Insinuating Effects.

Startling Extent of the Use of Vicious Drugs by Ladies.

From the New York Mercury, There is a rage for stimulants at present, not for alcoholic stimulants particularly, not for the ordinary stimulants which have been known to the excitc-ment-craving world for years, but tor comparatively new, or rather for old, familiar preparations, whose employment as stitnulants is a new thing.

Th desire for stimulants is manifested not in the ir-rooms, but in the drug stores, and shown among women rati-

Ner

than men. The new articles themselves are geno'dly well-known medical preparations which have been recommended by physicians for certain diseases, and whose properties ha*e been discovered oy the patients and have been availed of by the latter, when the diseases for which th'.v were originally prescribed have paused away. This morbidly ingenious misapplication of meilicinus or drugs to intoxicating uses is confined to no special class in the community. It is manifested in all stations of life it is familiar to all classes of druggists Fifth avenue and Avenue A. are alike addicted to it. As hinted above the large majority of these

STIMULANT SIC1IKKR3

are women. Men, having the privilege of ardent liquors, do not resort to the pharmacopoeia for their intoxication, but women seek ta secure the effect without incurring the disgrace of drunkenness. They arc generally American women, too. An Eng'ish woman takes her beer without scruple the French woman re sorts to her liqueur the German female has a taste like her liege-lord, for lager, the Continental woman takes to her wine but the American lady seeks her druggist and derives intoxication fiom his drugs. Still, a large number of men, of all the walks of life, as will be seen from the body of this article, resort to the drug-shop instead of the draib-shop, and even children have adopted the practice copied from their ciders. These drugs do not cause direct intoxication. They do not produce absolute drunkenness thev only cause a greater or less degree of nervous excitement.

The danger lies in their habitual use, by which a constant state of physical excitement is kept up, till at last the system comes entirely under the influence, and, therefore, at the mercy of the drug. Among the medicines most cxtensvely misused for stimulating purposes, a prominent place must be given to bromide of potassium. The remedy is one of the most popular in the materia medica of the present day, and deservedly so. It is a superb sleep producer, it allays all manner of nervous irritation, and is comparatively harmless. There has never yet been a fatal case of the use of bromide of potassium. Still, it is doing a great deal of harm nowadays, nevertheless. There is such a thing as being chronically

DRUNK WITII BROMIDE OK POTASH

It is a peculiar species of intoxication. First, there is a Blight headache, not painful exactly, but irritating. This, however, soon passes olT, and merge» into a state of delicious excitement, a delightful and gentle exaltation of the faculties. This state soon subsides into a calm, delicious, soothing languor, which is the peculiar feature of the bromide intoxication. In this period of languid happiness the nerves seem to be at perfect rest. Nothing can annoy or disturb one. It is a condition of negative bliss. There is nothing active about it. It is as if you had eaten of the lotos. In the word of of the poet: "From too much joy of living.

From four of doutb, set free. You thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may be." There are n® ecstatic but wildly-stimu-lating dreams, such as are produced by other drugs there are no visions of ineffable bliss which weary the soul even while they exalt it—but there is

A OLORtOUS CALM,

A superb sense of repose, given, perhaps, in the same degree by no other preparation known. There is no reaction, as such, from the use of bromide of potassium—there are none of the horrors which attend upon other narcotics and stimulants—still there are decidedly unpleasantly and injurious results developed. For, after the delicious season of calm, just described, there steals over the senses of the bromidetaker a peculiar torpor and drowsiness, which, after a while, becomes positively painful. The pulse becomes slower, much slower the sight grows dull, much duller the sense of hearing is gradually and temporarily deadened, so netimes lost altogether, and the faculties of the mind become obscured. In fact, it is held by physicians that the excessive use of brortiide of potassium causes a variety of idiocy, which has been styled "bromism." There is a gentleman in this citv who is pointed Out as an example ami victim of "bromism." He originally used the bromide of potassium produce sleep, then he used to quiet his nerves finally used it daily and constantly its peculiar stimulating, soothi «g efj. The employment of drugs became the habit of his life, and gradually, his intellect weakened, and now he is reguarded as a semiimbecile. He has suffered no po&sitive pains, has been tha prey of no nervious horrors, but his existence has become all a dullness his life is a blank and a steep. A once brilliant woman is, and has been for some jears past, the victim of "bromism." She lives in a state of lethargy, and has lost the power of continuous thought. For anything but the most ordinary duties of life she is wholly ncapacited. She is a meptal wreck.

to it he for fects

Similar instances could numerously be cited, and the general use of this bromide of potassium is causing more of these lamentable cases than aay but the initiated have any idea of. One drug store in this city has on its list of customers eight ladies who arc regular buyers of bromide of potassium, although thev are free from any special disorder necessitating its employment. The excessive and continued use of this drug has beqn known to produce not only mental imbecility, but physical insensibility. In a recent instance the bromide-taker lay in a somewhat comatose condition. She did not feel the prick of a needle a friend tickled

her feet, but though unusually sensible here in her normal state, the lady did not experience, or evidence, the slightest sensation. She did not hear, or at least did not pay anv attention to the words addressed to her, nor did she seem to be sensible to any impression of light.

This drug is very variable in its effects upon various individuals. Some can take three or four times the dose that can be taken by others. An ounce and a half has been swallowed without visible effect. In another case twenty grains •has produced a marked result. It is taken generally either in the form of a pill or dissolved in cold, or, still better, hot water. It has a pleasantly salty taste and its effects take place, if at all, almost at once. Compared with the other stimulant drugs, bromide of potassium may be regarded as harmless, but looked at in itself, it is really a dangerous preparation when misused—all the more dangerous because it is at present misused so extensively. It is one of the most popular preparations to be procured at the drug stores, an its annual sales in this and other cities, arc very large.

CODINE.

Another drug becoming quite in demand as a medicine and as a stimulant is codine. As an excitant and stimulant it hat remarkable properties, Taken in six rain doses it will completely revolutionize the nervous svstem. This fact has already created quite a call for it at the drug stores. This demand is principally amonc* tin: rich and fashionable, for the high price of codine prevents its ever becoming popular with the masses. It is an aristocratic stimulant. A gentleman who is familiar with its workings tlnmle scribes the effect of codine upon himself: "My pulse was accelerated and my face felt Hushed. I became literally in ii fever of excitement

This

excitement was of the most agreeable kind. I

had

enced

pleasant day-dreams. I

seemed inspired with a celestial vigor. I felt equal for any undertaking. At the same time I had no ambition to undertake anything whatever. I was intent to be happy thus for ever. I saw bright objeets all around me, vague, impnlpable but very brilliant. Suddenly I experi

an intense itching of the skin at first it rather pleasant feeling, but soon merging into almost insupportable agony. I scratched and scratched, I almost tore my skin, but in vain. The itching continued and increased and soon drove all the memories of my previous ecstacy out of my head. This itching must have lasted about an hour (it seemed a century and then I began to feel weary, very weary r.ot exactly sleepy, but indescribably tired. Then a period of depression set in, and two or three times I really contemplated suicide rather than endure longer the abominable melanchollv. Finally I felt

at the stomach, and commenced to vomit. This relieved me, and in a little while I was restored to my normal condition. But I would net go through what I went through again for worlds."

Many arc not of this gentleman's opinion, however, and "go through" this sort of thing repeatedly' enduring the itching and the weariness and the melancholy for the sake of the intense temporary exaltation which codine induces. Codine docs not seem to have any special perceptible action on the brain, but confines its energies to the nerves.

A third preparation, which is becoming popular as a stimulant, is known to the druggists as lupulin, It is a yellow powder, very acrid in taste, and pungent. It is generally mixed with valerian and given in alcohol. It is more of a scda tive than a narcotic, and produces upon the constitutional lupulin drinker the effect of a strong drink of beer. 1Mb growing in favor with people of the middle classes.

QUININE.

Even quinine, or the sulphate ofcjuinia is being perverted from its legitimate medical use, and is being employed as a stimulant. The exhilarating effects of quinine in certain instances have long been known, and advantage* has been taken purposely of this fact. Many

_.r ... of

the minor remedies and medicines on the druggist's calendar are likewise becoming in demand as stimuli. Thus the essence of ginger is much employed as a mild stimulant by temperance people, clergymen, and others of -a similar stamp. Ah the essence is ninety-five per cent, alcohol, this stimulating effect is not to be won-• dered at. It is only another name for alcohol. Two tablespoonfuls of the essence will produce a state of semi-intox-ication which is not followed by reaction, though it is succeeded by stomachic troubles. Spirits of lavender, of red lavender, is also quite a mild stimulant in vogue among old maids. The aromatic spirits of ammonia or eau sedative is very popular with French women, actresses, etc. It is a pretty powerful stimulant, but its effects do not last long, neither are they followed by any degree of depression—while among tHe poorer classes of women and laundresses, the essence of peppermint is greatly in demand as a decided stimulant. It is very cheap—10 cents will buy an ounce of it, and in ounce will furnish eight tablespoenfuls, or four "dose?

LIFE'S CHANGES.

JOHN MOEY'S AND HUGH HASTINGS' STORIES TOLD ON A STEAMBOAT.

From thu Baltimore American. A short time ago several gentlemen, among them Commissioner Van Nort, Hugh Hastingr, and Mr. John Hoey of Adams express, husband of the former well-known leading-lady of Wallack's theater, met round a dinner table on board a North River steamboat, and beguiled the hours telling stories.

Everybody knows Hugh Hastings, the editor of the Commercial Advertiser, a leading light in the church, and superintendent of Sunday schools pious but not priggish a man whose heart softens readily, but his head never. John Hoey is not less well and favorably known, though he is not a member of any church.

This was Hugh Hastings story: "When I was in Paris some years ago, I was persuaded one evening by some fellows, who doubtless thought it a joke, to go to thejardine Mabille. Of course I was totally ignorant of thi sort of place, and was therefore not a l^tle surprised at the free and easy manners ihat prevailed there. I kept on my hat, partly because that seemed to be the general custom, partly because I was determined to effect my escape as soon as possible, and was still more astonished ^rhen a gay and festive damsel came pirouetting down upon me, kicked off my hat with the toe of her slipper, and said: "How do, Hugh: how do, Mr. Hastings?" A second glance discovered something peculiar, and when she said: "Why, Mr. Has

At last one day I met the lady face to face when I was alone, and then she asked me with some hesitation and embarrassment, if "I was not John llocy, lrom New York. I answered in the affirmative, and she then recalled to my memory a certain dancing academy which I had attended in my youth, and a sewing girl, poor but pretty ard intelligent, who had for a time frequented the same place, but owing to ler plain dress and reserve of manner received little attention. I had often singled her out for a partner on this account, and had ont^V twice 'treated' her to a dish of ice ere and once invited her to go to the OlytHc.je.

KEEP THE GATE SHUT.

THE TERRE HaUTK WEEKLY GAZETTE.

tings, do you not know me I knew you when you were an editor in Albany, the thought flashed upon me that I' had known her as a young, pretty, and innocent girl, the respected dnughter then of poor, but very honest and respectable parents. "She asked me to go and see her, and curious to know how she had drifted into such a life, and determined, if possible, to get her out of it, I went. She had married, she told me, after I had left Albany, a man who treated her so cruelly that she finally ran away from him with another person, who took her to Paris, and when he was tired of her deserted her. She had visited thejardine Mabillo with this man and her dancing had attracted the attention of the proprietor, who complimented her upon it. Alone, pennilless and in a foreign land, it struck her that she might turn this one gift to account. She applied for a position as paid dancer and obtained it. 'Do your parents know anything of your career, or your whereabouts?' I asked. 'No,' she replied, 'and I should die with shame to have them know it. I beg of you to keep my secret, and not betrav me.' I assured her that they should learn nothing disadvantageous to her from inc. but 1 begged and implored her, with tears and prayers, to return home, relieve the anxiety of her parents, and lead a virtuous life. She would not promise, and I left her, mentioning to no one the secret of her past history. A year afterward I was in Albany, walking down the street, when, who should I meet but this very girl, very modestly and quietly dressed, and walking sedately with a friend. She accosted me at once: 'You see I atn at home,' she said. I expressed the pleasure it afforded to witness the fact, and asked her if she was contented and intended to remain, She replied, with a si^h, that she didn't know that now she had seen ner folks, the .lovelty was over it was horrible 'slow and humdrum." "Life has strange vicissitudes," remarked Mr. Iloey. "We all know the little Massachusetts singer who Is now the wife ot' the uncle of the king of Portugal, and your story reminds me of an incident which befel me at Baden Baden. While there I could not help remarking a very handsome an 1 distinguished looking woman, covered with diamonds, who, rather to mv embarrassment, from the first moment that I saw her, singled me out as the objest of special regard.

assured me, and she had nevefyorcgotten the person to whom she owed \,b, all the more because she knew that «/c was itterly unconscious of having done angling to excite her gratitude. She invited me to breakfast at her bowse, which as a magnificent vila in the environs but this I declined. I promissd to call, however, at her urgent request, and afterwards did so. I found the establishment and retinue of a princess, and was introduced to three lovely children. She told me some part of the story of her life, and it had more of romance than a novel. She had been the favorite of a king, and during that period had accumulated wealth enough to buy a nobleman for a husband and insure a fortune for the future. Her name." conckfdcd Mr. Hoey, "is so. well known in distinguished circles that if I should mention it you would recognize her' at once, yet she as a poor sewing girl in the city of New York, has been the mistress of a king, and is now the courted wife of the representative of an ancient line, and a string of names as long as from this to Albany.'

From the Christian Wcokly.) An English farmer, was one day at work in his field, when he saw a party of huntsmen riding about his farm. He had one field that he was especially anxious that they should not ride over, as the crop was in a condition to be badly injured by the tamp of horses. So he dispatched one of his workmen to the field, telling him to shut the gate, and then keep watch over it, and on no account to suffer it to be opened. The boy went as he was bidden, bir. was scarcely at his post bef re the hunters came uj», peremptorily ordering the gate to be opened. This the boy declined to do, stating the orders he had received, and his determination not to disobev them. Threats and bribes were offered, alike in vain one after another came forward as spokesman, but all with the same result theboy remained immovable in the determination not to open the gate. After a while, one of the

noble

presence advanced, and said

in commanding tones: "My boy, do you know me? I am the Duke of Wellington, one not accustomed to be disobeyed and I command you to open that gate, that I and my friends mav pass through." 'fhe boy lifted his hat and stood uncovered before the man whom all England delighted to honor, and answered firmly: "I am sure th^ Duke of Wellington would not wish me to disobey orders. I must keep this gate shut, nor suffer any one the pass but by my master's express permission."

Greatly pleased, the sturdy old warrior lifted his own hat and said: "I honor the men or boy who can be neither bribed nor frightened into doing wrong- With an army of such soldiers, I could not only conquer the French, but the world," and the old Duke put spurs to his horse and galloped away, while the boy ran off to his work, shouting at the top of his voicc: "Hurrah, hurrah! I've done what Na-

Sukeofcouldn't

leon do—I"ve kept out the Wellington."
