*** • FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL SESSION . SOME OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS FORMED DURING AN EXPERIENCE OF TEN YEARS IN TREATING OPIUM AND ALCOHOLIC HABITUES. S. M.

In the face of the above facts, you may imagine how very discouraging it was to enter upon this special line of work, especially when advised adversely by intimate friends and associates with the additional advice to enter other fields of work, one brother going so far as to say: "Go West young man; a prophet is honored save in his own country. However, after some months of writing, talking, reading papers and advertising, I succeeded in attracting the attention of a few people, and treating successfully a few Opium and Alcoholic cases—(semi-charity, of course). This seems to have been the proper psychological period to agitate this subject for since that time, these conditions have become looked upon as deserving room in our text-books, and more than casually referred to by the Professors in our best Medical schools.
