Shanghai Gal and her opium pipe

"It banishes melancholy, begets confidence, converts fear into boldness, makes the coward eloquent, and dastards brave. Nobody, in desperate circumstances, and smiling under a disrelish for life, ever laid violent hands on himself after taking a dose of opium, or ever will."
John Brown
(1735 - 1788)
Elementis Medicinae [1780]
