Standard [Clarksville, TX], January 14, 1860
A confirmed opium-eater in Rochester has dropped the filthy habit. He is now an old man of seventy years, and for four years, he has not used the drug in any shape, though before he had been an opium-eater for forty years. When he commenced breaking himself of the habit, he was using the opium at the rate of eighty grains per day, and it took him about two years to accomplish his purpose.
