Book excerpt: "[...]institution for relief from the drug habit where the only treatment offered is that of enforced deprivation, for he or she knows perfectly well that deprivation means death. No human longing can compare in intensity with that of the drug-user for his drug. Unrelieved, he will let nothing stand between him and it; neither hunger, nakedness, starvation, arson, theft, nor murder will keep him from the substance that he craves. Clearly humanity must be protected against such an evil. And the physician must be saved from it, for saving him will fulfil in a large measure the demand for the protection of the public.[...]".

Book excerpt: "One of the best books on narcotics that has yet appeared." -Medical Review of Reviews, Volume 22, January, 1916 "No one can be better fitted to place such a treatise before the public than Mr. Towns, who is, in a measure, responsible for the present legislative campaign against the wholesale distribution of habit-forming drugs heretofore considered almost harmless by druggists and consumers, which, however, insidiously undermine the health, progress and prosperity of the individual, and the community at large, by whom a habit is formed from which the victim can not easily, and perhaps never, be released. He justly claims that the physician is almost invariably to blame for the development of this drug-using curse, due to his ignorance of the length to which he can safely go in the administration of narcotics. We should say that all points of importance, i. e., causes, warning against the danger, help and hope for the afflicted, treatment and cure of these unfortunates, are covered herein. Mr. Towns faces a terrific problem, and handles the subject manfully, truthfully, bravely, yea, and despite all that he knows of it - hopefully as well....No one especially interested in these subjects among the profession or laity, should be without a copy." -Medical Times, Volume 43, January, 1915 "A solemn note of warning against the perils of the drug habit." -The Rock "The work is interesting and deserves to be read by members of the medical profession." -Medical Record "The recent sensational legislation against the traffic in habit-forming drugs has brought to light startling facts about the prevalence of drug-addiction among all classes of people, not excluding doctors. Mr. Towns, whose life-work is the study and treatment of the victims of these habits, and who is largely responsible for the present legislative campaign, here sums up his experience in regard to the prevalence of drugs, and the methods of treatment and cure; and he extends his discussion also to alcohol and tobacco. It is almost as important, he believes, that the public should be wary about sanatoriums and even about many doctors as about drugs themselves, and he outlines a practicable mode of cure, the success of which he has himself repeatedly proved. The work is at once interesting and instructive and should be in the hands of every practitioner." -Pacific Medical Journal, Volume 58, January, 1915 "A few years ago he successfully treated some four thousand Chinese for opium" -The Bellman, Volume 19, August 21, 1915 CONTENTS I THE PERIL OF THE DRUG HABIT II THE NEED OF ADEQUATE SPECIFIC TREATMENT FOR THE DRUG-TAKER III THE DRUG-TAKER AND THE PHYSICIAN IV PSYCHOLOGY AND DRUGS V ALCOHOLICS VI HELP FOR THE HARD DRINKER VII CLASSIFICATION OF ALCOHOLICS VIII THE INJURIOUSNESS OF TOBACCO IX TOBACCO AND THE FUTURE OF THE RACE X THE SANATORIUM XI PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR THE DRUG EVIL XII CLASSIFICATION OF HABIT-FORMING DRUGS XIII PSYCHOLOGY OF ADDICTION APPENDIX

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Habits That Handicap: The Menace of Opium, Alcohol, and Tobacco, and the Remedy It is interesting to note that a year or more ago a few deaths from bichlorid of mercury poisoning caused within a period of six months a general movement toward protective legislation. This movement was successful, and after the lapse of only a short time the public was thoroughly protected against this dangerous poison. It will be observed that the financial returns from the total sale of bichlorid of mercury tablets could be but small. Had the financial interests involved been of a magnitude comparable with those interested in the manufacture and promotion of habit-forming drugs, I have often wondered if the result would not have been less effective and as prompt. Bichlorid of mercury never threatened any large proportion of the public, and those falling victims to it merely die. Opium and its derivatives threaten the entire public, especially those who are sick and in pain, and with a fate far more terrible than death - a thraldom of misery, inefficiency, and disgrace.

Book excerpt: Book Excerpt: ...patients who have come to me taking morphine or other alkaloids of opium have taken the drug hypodermically. With few exceptions, I have found that the first knowledge of it came through the administration of a hypodermic by a physician. It is the instrument used that has shown the sufferer what was easing his pain. I consider that among those who have acquired the habit through sickness or injury this has been the chief creator of the drug habit. This statement does not apply to those who have acquired the habit through the taking of drugs otherwise. My work has been carried out almost entirely in cooperation with the physician, and I have not come in contact with the under-world drug-takers.
