The Opium Habit: With Suggestions as to the Remedy

Written in the late 19th century, this groundbreaking book offers a medical and moral perspective on opium addiction. Horace B. Day argues that opium is a dangerous and deadly drug, and calls for greater education, regulation, and treatment to combat the opium habit. Drawing on his own experiences as a physician, as well as contemporary medical research, Day offers readers a sobering and insightful look at a problem that still afflicts society today.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
