Drug addiction

"This woman was a drug addict (morphia). Has been treated in Gartnaval and is now much better."

"Lies muttering to himself, gesturing, pointing to and addressing people who are not present. Answers questions incoherently and inaccurately, if at all. Subject to emotional outbursts over imaginary goings on. [Informant] says this man died in a car accident. He was a drug addict."

"This old woman is described as one of the last of her bad types. She used to be a tramp and a tinker, alcoholic, smokes a clay pipe; used to serve sentences for rowdiness and fighting. She and her family used to live in a condemned house but have improved very much since being moved into decent accommodation. All her children were born in the workhous. Used to be a meth drinker."
