Unfortunately, I'm missing the last volume, so will probably end up paying more for it to get the complete set than I paid for all the others combined. ;-)<br /><br />RV: You are right -- I seem to recall some of that history of cocaine.

I don't think it was illegal but I don't think most people injected it. Opium was present in many elixirs for various "illnesses" and was even given to babies to soothe them during teething or colic, etc.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-34602002283417194782011-02-03T09:49:00.822-08:002011-02-03T09:49:00.822-08:00I am so jealous of your Holmes collection!!!I am so jealous of your Holmes collection!!!Baley Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217798839187799797noreply@blogger.com
