Opiumraucher - Opium Smoker

Two shirtless young men launching on a couch with their feet resting on ornate ceramic stools.

Text translated from German from the back of the postcard. “ Opium is obtained from the half-ripe poppy seed capsule. There is nothing that gives a person the noblest talents in body and soul hollowed out so in the worst way, nothing ravages wife and child, like this poison. The opium smoker has and does sell everything just to be able to quench his mad thirst for this poison. Until the last corner of China is this "plague of Asia", as they say that called opium, squat. Women also indulge in opium, but less often.
The mission has a victorious comprehensive fight against opium smoking has been launched.”
