The Harm of Injecting Morphine

A Syringe Needle has a Chain around a Man’s Neck

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

我不灭吗啡吗啡就灭我
