This sensationalist account of opium addiction in America and China was written by Allen Samuel Williams, a journalist who had no direct experience of the subject. He depicts the opium smokers as degenerate and immoral, and portrays the Chinese as the source of this perceived evil. Although now widely discredited, this book remains a curious artifact of the anti-Chinese sentiment that prevailed in America at the time.
