pain could be subdued by inserting
under the skin small pointed in
strument provided with tube con-
tanning morphia, they little thought
that they we're paving the way for a
new vice. Yet so it was. There are
in our merry England beings who
are us wholly under the domination
of morphia as ever was Chinese un-
der that of opium. Women have
yielded by degrees to its fatal las-
cinatiom, until at last they prick the
skin dozen times day with the
tiny syringe that has such terrible
results. The operation is almost
painless, the immediate effects pleas
ant. A delicious languor supervenes.
Happy thoughts and bright imagin-
ations fill the mind. Some see
beautiful visions, Others feel only
pervading sensation of comfort and
well-being. On few the effect of
morphia is to excite to some intel
lectual effort, if effort that can be
called which is pure delight, glori-
GUS feeling of untrammeled power
or uncrippled exercise of the high
est faculties. 1t is as though the
mind had suddenly developed wings.
But at the very height of the. en-
chantment the influence of morphia
begins to subside. The glory fades.
The wings trail, and the feet that
are their sorry substitutes become
weighted as with lead. AS with the
workers, SO with the dreamers. The
visions are obscured. This sensation
of comfort gives place to one of dis
comfort, irritation, even pain. The
mental vision that had just now
looked through rosy mist sees all
things as through a Grape vail or a
November fog. Can it be wondered
at that the dose is renewed, that the
poison is absorbed again and again,
that the intervals become shorter
and shorter between the reign of the
potent drug?
And the end? The punishment is
terrible indeed. BY degrees the
mind becomes darkened. Hideous
hallucinations seize upon it. Self
control is lost. Imbecility overtakes
the weak. Madness threatens the
strong.
These. are the personal conse-
quences. There are others to be be-
queathed to sons and daughters, and
later generations. These can be
guessed at. The new vice has not
reigned sufficiently long for the
world to have seen them exemplifed,
but a dark array of possibilities
suggests itself only too readily. The
heritage of insanity, of inebriety, of
imfecility, with its future to be traced
back to those tiny tubes which hold
only drop or two, and to which
men once looked as the blessed
means Of relieving pain, forgetting
that blessings and curses go hand in
hand in a crooked world. Dipsom-
,ania has now powerful rival,
speedier in it's result than its own
revolving process, and eventually as
degrading. The name of the latter
born sister tiend is Morphomania.-
London Truth.
