"What does cocaine have to do with genius?
Sherlock Holmes' attempt to break the chains of cocaine - which he had become immersed in - was perhaps the most difficult heroic effort I have ever witnessed in my life. I do not remember it - whether in my professional life, or my personal experience, or in my military life Yeh or Medina - I witnessed something close to the torment and pain that I witnessed.
Dr. Sigmund's first day was a success; He was able to put Holmes to sleep and put him into a deep sleep in one of the rooms he had made available to us on the second floor of his house. As soon as Holmes lay down on the bed, Freud grabbed me by the sleeve and ordered me, saying: "Come quickly... We must search his luggage."
