Through the greater part of India it is doubtless true in every province that there are eaters or smokers of opium, chiefly eaters, but, in my opinion, there is really in the greater part of India nothing that deserves to be called an opium question. Certain classes, especially in Central and Northern India, have un- doub...tedly consumed opium for centuries. They con- stitute a very small proportion of the 290,000,000 of people in India, but, no doubt, their positive numb.rs are large.
