Relaxation is one that most people who use the drug comment on immediately; sleepiness is another effect of the drug. Dry, red, itchy eyes are some of the immediate negative effects of the drug along with short- term memory loss.

The first step towards relieving pain was Paré, a 1575 army surgeon who found using egg yolks and turps soothed the wounds better than cauterising the stumps of amputated limbs with boiling oil. This discovery also helped blood-loss. However, this did not help infection, as the ligatures he tied the blood vessels with were unclean and made the wounds even more infected than if the cauterisation was used. The next step was the discovery of the first anaesthetic by a man called Humphrey Davy, who discovered ’laughing gas’ (nitrous oxide). This was used as an anaesthetic in surgery very early on, but it didn’t work as well, because the patients were in too much of a state to stay still for their operations, despite them being minor and simple.

In the North colonies, people did not like or trusted the water so they really only drank it when they had no other choice, they preferred milk from goats or cows. On the other hand, in the South, “milk soured quickly in the hot climate” (page 78), so they did not like to drink milk. Although many people died due to health related problems, the settlers in these colonies were generally better nourished and a lot of the time in better health than most people back home in England. The reason being “the absence of large concentrations of population reduced the severity of epidemics when they came” (page 73). A settler’s everyday life in early America was quite dull, so they started doing different activities to break away from the daily routine.
However, Purdue Pharma still denies OxyContin to be addictive.

A person drinking alcohol may start to feel the effects after just one drink, and recover depending on how much the person drank, body weight, and how much they may have had to eat before drinking.
