“(Let us reflect, too, upon the possibility, amounting almost to probability, that Stevenson wrote that very book under the influence of medically prescribed cocaine, which was said in those days of its early discovery to cure tuberculosis. And there is yet a paradox in this: first, cocaine does not cure tuberculosis, it does not in fact “cureâ€� anything, it just makes you feel so good that addicts often die of diseases they didn’t know they even had, because they felt so good; and, second, Stevenson, we now know, did not actually have tuberculosis.)”
