Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Opinions of Over 100 Physicians on the Use of Opium in China"" is a collection of opinions and observations by William Hector Park, a physician who spent several years in China during the late 19th century. The book features the views of over 100 physicians, both Western and Chinese, on the use of opium in China, which was a widespread problem at the time. The opinions range from those who believed that opium was a harmless and effective medicine, to those who saw it as a dangerous and addictive drug that was causing serious harm to the population. The book provides a fascinating insight into the attitudes towards opium in China during this period, and the debates that were taking place among medical professionals about its use. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, the history of China, or the social and cultural impact of drugs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
