KILLER HEROIN HITS WILMINGTON

Heroin killed two and possibly three Wilmington residents within
recent days. Two died in one week.

They might be victims in a national massacre. Some heroin has been
spiked with a super-powerful drug that stops users from breathing. It
can happen so quickly that they have no time to get help.

According to a wire story out of Chicago, the hybrid concoction has
killed at least 130 people in that city and Detroit, and has sent
people across the Midwest to hospitals.

It's also possible that the local stuff is simply more powerful than
users expect. Whatever the ingredients in the dope on Wilmington
streets, would-be users should remember that these are drugs made by
big-time criminals with no conscience. No sensible person would put
their products into his or her body. There's no way to know what might happen.

The authorities have issued so many overblown warnings against the
dangers of drugs that many users laugh them off. But the heroin on
our streets today is no laughing matter.

It can kill. Quick.
