What Our Customers Say...

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
The first edition.
A very scarce work.
A medical study on how alcohol and drugs can affect the body, in particular on how it can affect one's fatigue. With chapters on caffeine, alcohol, mental fatigue, cocaine, tobacco, and more.
This was one of the Croonian Lectures, delivered at the Royal College of Physicians in 1906, by W. H. R. Rivers. Rivers was an anthropologist and psychiatrist who helped treated officers for shell shock after the Second World War, including Siegfried Sassoon.
With the occasional in-text graph.
