Abstract
The critical and awakening literature of the constitutional period did not overlook the pervasive problem of opioid addiction in this era; during this period, works were written that independently critiqued and analyzed this problem and the issues surrounding it; Adib al-Hakma, a constitutional physician, is one such work. In this research, after mentioning the reasons and manifestations of the prevalence of drug addiction in Iran during the Safavid and Qajar periods, we have examined and explained the essential features of prose and critical discourse of this book on the subject of addiction, analytical method, and content description. The following results were obtained from the present study: The prose of the book is a combination of the official prose of the secretary - full of Arabic words and phrases - with newspaper and conversational prose, in the form of neat and continuous sentences; In this work, irony, proverbs, allusions, and allusions have a high frequency. The author takes a critical and sometimes satirical look at the details of many of the tragedies caused by the destructive effects of drugs on the souls and bodies of addicts and the Iranian community; Iran was protesting the widespread cultivation of poppies on Iranian soil, and the satire of some Bengal and opium addicts, are the main topics discussed in the book on the critique of opioid addiction.
