The Opium Habit is a book written by Horace B. Day that describes the effects of opium addiction on individuals and society. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of opium use, its effects on the body and mind, and the various methods used to treat addiction. It also discusses the social and economic impact of opium addiction, including the role of opium in the opium wars and the impact of opium addiction on the Chinese economy. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the history and impact of opium addiction, as well as for those seeking information on how to overcome opium addiction.To the opium-consumer, when deprived of this stimulant, there is nothing that life can bestow, not a blessing that man can receive, which would not come to him unheeded, undesired, and be a curse to him. There is but one all-absorbing want, one engrossing desire--his whole being has but one tongue--that tongue syllables but one word-- morphia. And oh! the vain, vain attempt to break this bondage, the labor worse than useless--a minnow struggling to break the toils that bind a Triton!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
