The Chicago Board of Censors, because of the plot involving drug use, gave the film an "adults only" permit and required cuts in Reel 1 of the first view of a woman in a low cut gown and two closer views of the same; in Reel 3 of the intertitle "You make her use it. Its grounds for divorce in this state." and the shot of man putting drug into the woman's medicine; in Reel 4 of the intertitle "You say you couldn't get any more. I have been more successful."; and in Reel 5 of the intertitles "Your damned lover is a liar." and "It's the drug that loves you - the drug I've fed her night and day," and the scene of the choking of the wife and knocking her down.
