Holistic Healing
An Essay on the Effects of Opium. Considered as a Poison
John Awsiter
44 pages~52 min read4 chapters$1.99
John Awsiter considered opium not as a comfort but as a poison, weighing its effects with a chemist's caution. His short essay probes dosage, danger and the thin line between remedy and ruin in an age that reached readily for the drug. A revealing artifact of eighteenth-century pharmacology. Read the warning that ran ahead of its time.
