RT Journal T1 THe opium problem. JF Archives of Internal Medicine JO Archives of Internal Medicine YR 1929 FD March 1 VO 43 IS 3 SP 427 OP 427 DO 10.1001/archinte.1929.00130260130015 UL http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/archinte.1929.00130260130015 AB This work is unique in its composition. It is a literary production in that it presents the problem of opium in its historic, physiologic, pathologic and forensic phases, purely from the standpoint of citation. The authors have quoted or summarized the essential features of approximately 400 references, consequently making this essentially a source book. In general, they have refrained from presenting their own conclusions; instead, they present the interpretations of the problem made by the different writers. This work is valuable to the student of almost any phase of the morphine problem, whether from the strictly scientific or the legal standpoint.
