Morphine M. a Poison.

10 the Editor OF the Dispatch:
l. How many grains of morphine does
30 take TO Kill a person unaccustomed TO
IL? Is any noise made in the sleep?
2. ] heard a doctor say he had a pa
tient who took 30 grains a day." Can
such q thing be possible? L argue not.
II. II. II.
No poison has a definite quantity as its
fatal dose. Less than one grain OF NOR
phine has killed. while, in one instance,
recovery followed the taking Of 12O grains.
Two grains would ordinarily be a very
dangerous dose. The resulting sleep,
wien fully established, is accompanied
with snoring. The assertion that person
took habitually $50 grains day cannot
be credited without unimpeachable testi-
mony 10 prove IT, Sixty to eighty grains
day ars about the largest amounts
ntnerto recorded by trustworthy report
ers. De Quincy. the English opium
eater" took daily a quantity of iauda-
mum equivalent to about sixty or seventy
grains Of morphine. and Coleridge, the
poet, on one occasion, took. also in the
form Of laudanum, during a day about
four times as much. But this estimate is
based on the assumption that the Iauda-
mum was OF fun strength. and that the
poet was telling the truth.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-05-22

was made after the image OF God, and
his pure and upright soul, in perfect SYM
pathy, responded to and harmonized with
that Of his Maker He was God in minia-
ture. All power and wisdom, perfect holi-
ness and righteousness, pure love and
absolute goodness had their representa-
tives in man. Love, obedience, and wor-
ship bound him to his God and Father,
were the stability OF his time and
strength of salvation.
All the beautiful order and harmony of
creation was confused by the fall. when
man set himself up for his own god. and
introduced the order Of "self-made men,"
OF that style we have had more than
enough.
Well we may say that the fall of man
was comparable to the fall o. printers
form. What had been an orderly and
beautiful theme was thrown into pi.
Bewilderment and confusion took tho
place Of order and meaning, and darkness
took the place of light. All mans senses
were blunted. The eyes of his soul were
blinded, and he was left to feel after
God II haply he might find Him. Out of
this raw material it has been the business
OF civilization TO lift and compose and
restore man, and establish happy life
the kingdom of Heaven-thngs as they
were at first intended to be.
We, as we are. seem to be q sort of
shoddy, secondhand arrangement, not
an original growth. But we-mankind-
are not disposed to take that view Of
ourselves. We prefer the idea Of self
made men. And with our brief great
ness, we count ourselves kings and
grandees. and play such fantastic tricks
before high Heaven as make the angels
weep.
Still. out Of the chaff and ruin OF the
fall civilization has advanced, manhood
has asserted Itself. and through various
forms made manifest the greatness of it's
origin. Arising Heavenward, the pyramid
Of humanity has reached its apex. It's
capstone is Jesus Christ and His divine
life and teachings have been the light
Of men. AS in Adam all died. so in
Christ all are made alive. All the adj
vantages that Adam enjoyed in his pri-
meval condition are contemplated under
the Christian, the Heaven anointed re-
gime, the restored order and uprightness.
At one bold effort the Christian declares
his independence and freedom. He re-
nounces the devil and ell his works. All
his hopes are centred in the promise:
The truth shall make you free. The
truth is the light of Heaven, that reveals
man in all his native dignity, as from
the hand OF God and made after His
image. Jesus Christ showed to mankind
the original normal Adam-the Son Of
God. And faith in Christ is faith in
the highest conceivable manhood. in the
Divine Ideal, that derives it's life from
the life and spirit Of the living God, who
sustains and lightens the universe.

very deep water, where the surface is
very irregular, they are suspended be-
