U.S. government publication reports 5,000 fatal poisonings in one year, mostly related to opium and cocaine.

Original data likely from the 1912 publication "Digest of Laws and Regulations in Force in the United States Relating to the Possession, Use, Sale, and Manufacture of Poisons and Habit-Forming Drugs", by Martin I. Wilbert and Murray G. Motter.
