238. The Uncounted Cost. The first and most obvious effect of opium,
for example, is to deaden pain and to arouse pleasure; but while the
drug is producing these soothing sensations, it interferes with bodily
functions. Secretion, digestion, absorption of food, and the removal
of waste matters are hindered. Continued use of the drug leads to
headache, exhaustion, nervous depression, and heart weakness. There is
thus a heavy toll reckoned against the user, and the creditor is
relentless in demanding payment.
