Apparently there was also plenty of opium. This online history of Salem's Chinatown is largely a pastiche of Ben Maxwell's piece in Marion County History, Volume 7, and it's not the most rigorous of scholarship. Nevertheless it suggests that

Since most Chinese immigrants were male, social clubs for the Chinese to preserve a feeling of their culture away from their homeland were important, leisure time was spent at these social clubs or imbibing in gambling or opium.

Dr. Kum's ad was in the Statesman, a paper not aimed at Chinese. So who was using the opium???

The ad reads: The Opium Evil is more deadly and causes more misery than war or pestilence.
Dr. Kum & Co. cures the habit and eliminates the poison from the system without suffering.
