Opium Habit Brings Fall of Prominent Youth and Doctor
A historical note recounts morphia and chloral addiction among rising figures. Lee Adams, once a gifted orator and author from a renowned family, rose to public lectures before theft allegations and diamond discovery in his trunk revealed his narcotic compulsion. He sought an insane asylum instead of prison. A physician, its chloral addiction, died at twenty four after friends and fellow doctors failed to save him. The piece closes urging caution about these narcotics and noting other similar cases.
