We Belt the World”
Dr. Leslie E. Keeley (1832-1900), proprietor of the "Gold Cure" for alcohol and drug habits, was the world's best-known addiction cure doctor at the end of the nineteenth century. Vast numbers of people claimed that his treatment worked, but his reliance on a secret cure brought derision from mainstream medicine. This article uses unpublished archival sources to examine the 1892 opening of Keeley's London franchise. The British medical establishm…
Claire D. Clark. The Recovery Revolution
Historians of revolution work in a field whose subject matter is particularly chaotic and confusing. This was certainly the case for what Claire D. Clark identifies as the “Recovery Revolution” in U.S. drug addiction treatment over the last half of the twentieth century. After the Second World War, illicit drug use became a mainstream preoccupation in American society, and by the late 1950s a flurry of new therapeutic approaches emerged to combat…

Julia Skelly, Addiction and British Visual Culture, 1751–1919
Julia Skelly's new book offers an intriguing glimpse of the visual construction of alcohol and drug addiction in British culture between 1751 and 1819. Her point of departure is to note that addiction is not legible from the body and, she cautions, if we do not learn to look more critically we will continue to project ‘centuries old stereotypes, myths and prejudices onto the bodies of addicted persons’ (p. 13). The book therefore takes readers on…
Target America

This essay places this most recent attempt to ‘see’ addiction into its broader historical context by looking at the visual means scientists, bureaucrats and politicians have used to explain their ideas about the condition. In doing so, the…

The ancients paid sacred homage to Morpheus, god of sleep and dreams; and now, in the midst of an age of intelligence and advancement, we find a vast army of men and women bowing at the shrine of the arch-fiend Morphia, named after the classic deity of old. —Leslie E. Keeley, M.D., 1897 Despite its long association with Asian cultures, habitual narcotic use gained little public attention in the West before the publication of Thomas De Quincey's C…
