Rating: G

We cannot warn our readers more strongly against the lure of the opium dens which are found amongst the river wharfs.  Recently we have heard of a number of young men who have been attracted by the prospect of heightened dreams and sensation.  Be warned: the use of opium will only result in physical and mental ruin and untimely death.

*sudden stampede of even more young men wanting to give "heightened dreams and sensation" a go* (You know what young people are like... *sighs*)

There will be letters about the irresponsibility of youth and their inability to pay heed to their elders and betters.

This appears to be a very fancy version of "Just Say No." I wonder if it will be any more effective? ;)

We do hope so. This is an extremely serious message, which is ignored at great cost.
