DEATH from MORPHIA.—The following in-
. quest appeared in the Morning Post of Friday, the 23d
instant;—" A Child Poisoned by Morphia.—An inquest was held on
Wednesday, by Mr. Mills, at Chelsea, on the body •.f a child named
Harriet Watson, nine months old, who had died in consequence of
its mother having Inadvertently given it a part •of a pill composed of
morphia; for the purpose of lulling it to sleep. A verdict stating the
fact was delivered, and the mother of the child was, by direction of
the jury, severely admonished by the coroner." We need not inform
the reader that, had the deadly poison been given by the doctor,
instead of the mother, we should, as usual, never have heard one
word about the death. Good God ! half a pill to be so polsow.us and
deadly. This is what the doctors call " medicine ! !!" The Lord save
us from such medicine! Doctors may ridicule the idea of persons
having taken five, ten, twenty, and even fifty of Morrison's Pills at
a dose (which, at all events, is an incontrovertible proof of their in-
nocence and safety), but it is far better than dealing in such
deadly poisons as morphia, and the catalogue of other poisons
used by doctors " medicinally ! 1 Rygeists, thank God, have
nothing to reproach their consciences with—is it the same with
doctors.? Morphia, the public should know, is a deadly preparation
of opium. We say again that the world is beginning to understand
why doctors give and hold out poisons " medicinally."—British Col-
