In many cases where the moral sense has suffered no such general bouleversement, the tendency which opium superinduces to look at every thing from the most sanguine point of view the vague, dreamy habit of thought and the inability to deal with hard facts or fixed quantities make it necessary to take an opium-eater's assertions upon any subject with a certain degree of allowance to translate them, as it were, into the accurate expressions of literal life; but even where this necessity docs not exist, in cases sometimes though rarely met with, where opium has been long used without tinging any of life's common facts with uncertainty, an opium-eater can scarcely even be relied on for the exact truth concerning his own habit.
