In a quarter of an hour, that is to say, before the shock has passed away and the pain begins, he is usually at the dressing station. Here he is given morphia injections, which reduce all sensations to a uniform dullness. In this state he remains until he is placed under chloroform and operated on.
His natural depression had been so increased by the meagre prospect of finding employment which would yield his family an adequate support, that even his increased and more frequent indulgence in his morphia powders failed to give sufficient hopefulness and courage, while at the same time they began to produce some serious disorders in his system.
Reid's remedies because I think of the wife and the home, but I would not go so far with him as to consider this "drink craving" specific and simple, and I retain an open mind about the sale of drink. He has not convinced me that there is an inherited "drink craving" any more than there is an inherited tea craving or an inherited morphia craving.
The same feeling that came to me on the day we had tea together the feeling that made me that almost made me believe " "Believe what?" The words escaped him without volition. At sound of his voice she turned. "Believe that a miracle had happened," she said "that you had found strength had freed yourself." "From morphia?" "From morphia."
The development of the Japanese importation of morphia into China, as well as the growth of the poppy in Manchuria, where they have control, has been a very sinister feature of their penetration of China. Of course the Open Door, equality of opportunity, the independence and integrity of China, etc. etc., were reaffirmed at Washington; but these are mere empty phrases devoid of meaning.
He may have taken morphia a dozen times in his life to ease acute pain, but only twice has it made him thus wakeful. On these nights he saw an endless succession of visions, which he did not forget, as one does common dreams.
"Missy, you never suspect it yourself, and yet you have lived in same house for fifteen months. It was hard to keep it dark, but all the servants know. Of course, that is no matter, and as for the big mem-sahibs, they do not come here now." "It seems so strange," said Sophy, "that my aunt should have sunk into this state all through one little dose of morphia."
The Treatment will, it need hardly be said, depend upon the cause, but as it is generally caused by the presence in the intestine of some irritating matter, we can hardly err by administering a small dose of castor oil, combining with it, if there be much pain which you can tell by the animal's countenance from 5 to 20 or 30 drops of laudanum, or of the solution of the muriate of morphia.
Water . . ." gasps the invalid, clutching at his heart. "I'd just taken a third dose of morphia, dropped asleep, and . . . again! Good God! when will this torture cease!" "I only . . . you must excuse . . ." "Oh! . . . Put me out at the next station! I can't stand any more . . . . I . . . I am dying. . . ." "This is mean, disgusting!" cry the "public," revolted. "Go away!
They all say that. See you again." "You will get ten dollars," said John to a hospital orderly, "if you will find Captain Blake of General Wright's staff." "I'll do it, sir." Presently his arms having been dressed, he was made comfortable with morphia. At dusk next morning his friend Blake sat down beside his cot. "Are you badly hurt?" he said.
