Central Texas drug addiction in the 19th century history
J W Baker explains that Texas saw few addicts before 1860 but a surge from 1865 to 1905, as opium morphine and later heroin were widely used by physicians and patients. Health resorts thrived serving those affected, with mineral baths offering questionable relief. The narcotic problem waned after World War I but recurred with later drugs and eras.
