English Translation

Placard held by the leftmost figure： Anti-Opium Admonitions
The opium trade can never coexist with the National Government empowered by the people. There is no public opinion in China that does not oppose opium; whoever advocates the legalisation of the opium trade, or shows submission to its evil influence, is a public enemy. The war against opium must admit of no compromise; any responsible government organ that tolerates opium for its own convenience, whether for long or short, commits an act of treason. To achieve the prohibition of opium, the National Government must adopt a unified national plan; yet before the warlords are overthrown and a civil government unifies the nation, anti-opium organisations must persevere in struggle, never give up, and maintain an unwavering policy of total non-submission.

最左边人物举的标语牌：拒毒遗训

片鸦营业绝对不能与人民所赋予权力之国民政府两立

中国之民意未有不反对鸦片，苟有敌法律准许鸦片营业，或对鸦片之恶势力表示降服者，此前民意之公

对阿片之宣战，绝对不可让步，假定有政府机关负责，为自身之私便，对阿片下姑息之战，不问久暂，均属卖国之行为

欲达禁烟之目的，必需由国民政府采定全国一致实践之计划，但在军阀政府未打倒，民治未能统一全国以前，拒毒团体须奋斗奋斗，千万不可放弃，坚忍与不退缩之奋斗心，永远抱定彻底底不降服之政策政策

Right: Ten for fifteen cents, fifty for seventy cents, one hundred for one dollar and 20 cents, the shipping fee is included

Left: 4 Hong Kong Road, Shanghai, Published by the Chinese National Drug Banning Society

Main text: The opium business must not coexist with the National Goverment empowered by the people. The popular will of Chinese people is against opium. Should there be anyone who contends for legalization of opium retail or who submits to the evil pro-opium organizations, he or she will be the enemy of the people’s will. The declaration of war against opium is non-negotiable. Should the government, for the interest of itself, for a prolonged or temporary moment cease and neglect the war, it is committing treason. In order to prohibit opium, the National Government must adopt a plan that the entire nation should abide by. But before the warlords are annihilated and the government by the people can unify China, anti-drug groups should make efforts ceaselessly, and must not give up on the determination to fight with perseverance and a non-negoting spirit. Always be determined to implement the policy without any thought of submission. Abridged ROC Year 13 Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s speech in Guangzhou on banning drugs Recorded by Chinese National Drug Banning Society

English Translation

Title: The Harm of Injecting Morphine
From right to left:

It is easy to say that opium is a disaster, but by injecting morphine and inhaling white pills [heroin], death is imminent. Are not those who are ignorant of patriotism pitiable?

Injecting morphine, eating white pills, is more severe than opium-
The skin gets blue and the throat rots, the entire body becomes spotted-
[Morphine] weakens the body and deceives the soul, [users] abandon duties and cease to work-
[Morphine] defeats the mind and harms morals, it hurts one’s entire life and descendants-
It poisons the community and weakens group, our compatriots should wake up.

If I don’t destroy morphine, morphine will destroy me

打吗啡之害

鸦片为灾害易言 插吗啡 吸白丸 死在眼前
爱国事听不见 这等人你看可怜不可怜

打吗啡吃白丸
比鸦片尤剧烈
皮肤青咽喉烂
至周身尽斑点
弱体魄蔽心灵
弃本分而不务
败心术伤道德
害终身及后裔
毒社会弱人群
劝同胞要自醒

Top: The Scourge of Opium Ruins Countries and Exterminates Peoples

Middle: Do not grow opium. Officials extort donations and soldiers extort salaries, so many levels of exploitation, what a pain!
Do not transport opium. People who smoke ruin their own family, and what a crime you have committed to transporting opium!
Do not sell opium. It leads to greed and murder, which not only harms the country but also the world!
Do not smoke opiums. You will lose people [friends and families] and money, and you will regret when you come to the dead end!
