Four months later, he left my laboratory looking like an athlete, strong and vigorous, joyful and energetic. For three weeks he had not received any morphine, had good appetite, slept well, and had happily married. As his wife was a trained nurse, she will take good care that no new slip shall ever occur. There was nothing remarkable in those four months of treatment.
I can give a certificate. The coroner will be all right," said Dr. Surtaine, with an assurance derived from the fact that a year before he had given that functionary five hundred dollars for not finding morphine in the stomach of a baby who had been dosed to death on the "Sure Soother" powders. "That goes," agreed the detective. "What undertaker?" "Any.
In his desk at the By-Products office we discovered hypodermic needles and a whole outfit morphine, I think it was. You know how cunningly a real morphine fiend can cover up his tracks." Kennedy was now all attention. As the case unrolled it was assuming one new and surprising aspect after another.
I have long known to a nicety the fate in the field." Gordon hesitated a second, then he said abruptly, with his face turned from his companion, in a rough voice, "Clara can't last many days." James made an exclamation. "She has gone down hill rapidly during the last two days," said Gordon. "I have been increasing the morphine. It can't last long."

White took her own breakfast in stray bites, while she was clearing away the table. She stayed, and put the house in order, until Maria's aunt Maria arrived. One of the physicians went away.

Barrett had come again, but all he could do was to give her morphine. No one could do any more, the doctor declared. "Sure, he'd not know it if they could!" sniffed Mary. "He's not such a bad one, when he's sober," said Edstrom, patiently. "And how often is that?" sniffed Mary again. She added, by way of explanation to Hal, "He's a cousin of the super."
What a shriek would arise from the civilised world if it were proposed to administer to-night to every one of these millions such a dose of morphine that they would sleep to wake no more.
His voice betokened not merely education, but something different and deeper the familiar habit of gentle speech; and his shabby clothes carefully brushed, but ill-cut and worn along the seams sat on him easily, and with the same difference. "The morphine has made him drowsy," she answered. "The wounds were dressed about an hour ago, and the doctor gave him a hypodermic."
"Alkaloids," he continued quietly, "as you know, have names that end in 'in' or 'ine' morphine, strychnine, and so on. Now there are two kinds of alkaloids which are sometimes called vegetable and animal. Moreover, there is a large class of which we are learning much which are called the ptomaines from ptoma, a corpse.
I laid Tommy out carefully on the top shelf, and covered him up, and then partially ondressed and stretched my own weary frame on my own shelf and tried to woo the embrace of Morphine, but I could not, so I got up and kinder sot, and took out my pad and writ a little more in my letter to my help.
