But in no case is there any relief to a desperate case of opium-eating save death.
The most striking instance of the beneficial operation of cod-liver oil in phthisis, is to be found in cases in the third stage even those far advanced, where consumption has not only excavated the lungs, but is rapidly wasting the whole body with copious purulent expectoration, hectic, night-sweats, colliquative diarrhoea, and other elements of that destructive process by which, in a few weeks, the finest and fairest of the human family may be sunk to the grave.
I was impatient to see the prescription, and found it almost verbatim the same he had sent to me; although I am persuaded there is a very essential difference between our disorders.
