Dr Herman Seidler’s Opium Sanatorium Raid Mines Society
Special to The Weekington Post reports Dr Herman Seidler arrested after a raid on 152 East Twenty second Street uncovering opium pipes, 100 pounds of opium, and a complete manufacturing kit. The sanitarium of oblivion allegedly treated women in a ten room flat for opium addiction while a suspected white slavery ring operated nearby. Authorities describe elaborate suppers where guests wore evening gowns and inhaled opium fumes before being sent to the sanitarium for more patients. Seidler pleaded not guilty after arraignment, seeking prison sentence by bail, while his sister Jennie urged a not guilty defense. The doctor, once well regarded, is said to have earned about $20,000 in the past year from the operation.
