He went there again he got himself a lay-out and is now a hopeless wreck in the state institution, twenty-one years old. Another is a society woman who was given a dose of heroin and that one dose proved sufficient for her undoing.
For several minutes he continued looking at the stuff. "That, I think," he remarked finally, "is heroin." "More 'happy dust'?" I replied with added interest now, thinking of our previous case. "Is the habit so extensive?"

Jones, after the magic draught administered by Simms, entered into a blissful condition of twilight sleep, half sleep, half drowsiness, absolute indifference. He walked with assistance to the hall door and entered a motor car, it did not matter to him what he entered or where he went, he did not want to be disturbed.
To show a little more clearly how some people become addicted to drugs, let us consider one of the latest, heroin: A few years ago this drug, which is an opium derivative, was practically unknown.

"Have an angel?" he inquired, offering the box. Jim accepted, but Young Sullivan declined.

It was also really our first chance to study the girl carefully under the light, for her entrance and exit the night before had been so hurried that we had seen comparatively little of her. Craig was watching her narrowly.
