Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes adventure, A Study in Scarlet, was published 100 years ago. Between 1887 and 1927 he wrote 56 short stories and four novels about his fictional detective. Episodes in the adventures which relate to anaesthetic drugs are described. Use of the drugs was criminal in the case of chloroform, opium, and curare; therapeutic in the case of morphine; and recreational when Holmes himself used cocaine.
亚瑟·柯南·道尔爵士创作的第一部福尔摩斯探案小说《血字的研究》于100年前出版。在1887年至1927年间，他创作了56篇短篇小说和4部关于这位虚构侦探的长篇小说。文中描述了这些冒险故事中与麻醉药物有关的情节。氯仿、鸦片和箭毒在当时使用属于犯罪行为；吗啡用于治疗；而福尔摩斯自己使用可卡因则是出于消遣。
