The Morphine Habit in France.

The deplorable habit of using NOR
phine-not to relieve pain, but for
the pleasurable sensations the narcotic
produces-seems to be spreading in
France, in spite of the warning note
uttered by medical men, and the
terrible consequences that must fol-
low upon the use, or rather abuse, of
the drug. During the hearing of case
at Macon recently, the facts that tran
spired corroborated the assertion made
by doctors as to the alarming tendency
which prevails. A chemist residing in
that town was prosecuted for selling
morphine without medical authority to
a number of persons, among them be-
ing the wife of a doctor, who, quite I'M
known to her husband, consumed it
daily, and in large quantities, by inject
ing it under the skin. In the course of
the trial several physicians came forward
to attest that the pernicious habit of
morphine injections was spreading
greatly-especially among women, to
the destruction of their moral and
physical health. One of those wit
nesses-attached to large hospital at
Aforementioned that more than a
dozen of the day nurses were regularly
addicted to the use of morphine, in one
shape or another, and the habit with
them had become a second nature. 1t
is, however, in Paris-and especially in
the fashionable world of Paris-that, if
all we hear be true, morphine causes
the most serious havoc to mind and
body.-LOndOn Telegraph.
