1928. Older writes in the foreword: In these pages Winifred Black tells the story of narcotic addiction, and I do not know of anyone else in this world who could tell it as effectively as she does. She knows thoroughly this story of human weakness. She knows where the drugs come from and where they go; she knows what kind of people become addicts, and why they become the pathetic victims of a narcotic; she knows what they were like before, and what they are like after they lose their grip on themselves and sink into this worst form of human degradation. Anyone who reads even the first page of this book will see at once how well she knows this story and how she feels about it.
