Though frankly journalistic in tone, the book presents something more than the hasty conclusions of a journalist. During its preparation the author travelled around the world, inquiring into the problem at first hand in China and in England, reading all available printed matter which seemed to bear in any way on the subject, and interviewing several hundred gentlemen who have had special opportunities to study the problem from various standpoints. The writing was not begun until this preliminary work was completed and the natural conclusions had become convictions in the author’s mind. </div> [Pg 4]     <hr style="width: 50%;" /> [Pg 5] <h2>CONTENTS</h2> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" summary="contents"> <tr><td align="right">I.</td><td>China’s Predicament</td><td align="right">9</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">II.</td><td>The Golden Opium Days</td><td align="right">20</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">III.</td><td>A Glimpse Into an Opium Province</td><td align="right">53</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">IV.</td><td>China’s Sincerity</td><td align="right">70</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">V.</td><td>Sowing the Wind in China—Shanghai</td><td align="right">101</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">VI.</td><td>Sowing the Wind in China—Tientsin and Hongkong </td><td align="right">129</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">VII.</td><td>How British Chickens Came Home to Roost</td><td align="right">154</td></tr> <tr><td align="right">VIII.</td><td>The Position of Great Britain</td><td align="right">178</td></tr> <tr><td> </td><td>Appendix</td><td align="right">204</td></tr></table>     <hr style="width: 50%;" /> [Pg 9] <h1>Drugging a Nation</h1>   <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
