It \ncontains an interesting study of the effects of drugs such as quinine, \ndigitalis, opium, Indian Hemp (hashish), ether and alcohol on vision, as\n well as the influence of disease and volition. Clarke details a case \ncommunicated to him by the neurologist and novelist S. Weir Mitchell, \none of the most prominent physicians of the late nineteenth and early \ntwentieth centuries. Oliver Wendell Holmes edited the work after \nClarke’s death, writing a memorial sketch and biographical introduction.\n A friend and classmate of Holmes at Harvard, Clarke succeeded Jacob \nBigelow as Professor of Materia Medica there, a post he held for twenty \nyears. He wrote this book in his last days, Holmes rendering frequent \nvisits to assist the dying author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Black Cat Caboodle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67947023270204,"sku":"avv1793044747074","price":74.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/2948\/5884\/files\/visions-study-of-false-sight-pseudopia-e-clarke-1st1st-1878-substance-abuse_1.jpg?v=1793044755","url":"https:\/\/hookloopfit.shop\/products\/visions-study-of-false-sight-pseudopia-e-clarke-1st1st-1878-substance-abuse","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
