Présentation de l'éditeur
For the past twenty years I have devoted much time to the study of the Opium Habit in all its forms. During the war, and in an active practice since then, I have been favored with many opportunities for successfully observing opium cases. I have conversed and corresponded with thousands of victims of the habit and have thus been able to arrive at practical conclusions concerning the pathology and treatment of this disease. For many years I entertained the popular ideas of the profession upon this subject; but extended research and personal observations have given me a more accurate and certain knowledge of its nature and results. It is because the habit is so little understood, and an urgent need exists for the latest scientific and medical information concerning it, that I have written the following pages. They contain no idle theories, but are replete with practical facts. I have written for the people as well as the profession, in the hope that the unwary may be fully warned against a vice which is so delusive and dangerous. The members of the profession will, I trust, find in this volume a help in the treatment of opiumania and morphism; while to the myriad victims of the drug it will open a door of hope which will lead them into the perfect sunshine of liberty and health. Dwight, III., September 1st, 1881.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often misunderstood world of opium addiction. Published in 1890, the author, a medical doctor, draws on his extensive experience treating patients struggling with opium dependence, providing valuable insights into the physical and psychological effects of the drug. The book explores the seductive allure of opium, which can initially provide relief from pain and offer a sense of euphoria and mental enhancement. The author warns against the deceptive nature of these initial experiences, highlighting the insidious way in which opium use can quickly transform from a temporary indulgence into a powerful and destructive habit. He explores the gradual descent into opium dependence, chronicling the physical deterioration, emotional numbness, and moral decline that often accompany the addiction. Through vivid accounts of his patients' experiences, the author reveals the devastating impact of opium addiction on the individual, family, and society. He provides a crucial historical perspective on a social ill that continues to plague humanity. This book offers a unique and enduring perspective on the nature of addiction, providing insights that resonate with readers even today.
