DAMAGES FOR MORPHINE HABIT
Curious Lawsuit Recently Tried in the
English Courts.

Curious lawsuit Recently Tried in the
English Courts.
The English medical journals con-
tain reports of curious law suit
which has just been on trial in an En-
gllsh court. A nurse brought action
against her physician for alleged NAL
practice in prescribing morphine for
her in therapeutic doses, and thereby
inducing In her the morphine habit
The doctor was accused Of negligence
and a desire to get rid of trouble
some patient. 1t is to the credit Of
the jury that, having heard the plain
tiff's side Of the case, they stopped the
trial, and expressed the opinion that
the action ought never to have been
brought.
The case suggests some rather curl
GUS reflections We do not doubt that
some physicians are sometimes rather
careless in prescribing such drugs as
morphine and cocaine, but it would be
difficult to apportion the exact degree
of responsibility and the exact amount
Of damages, IL every morphine fiend
were to have redress in court from
every physician who had ever pre-
scribed dose of such drugs for him
or her. The precedent established by
one such case would be rather dis
quieting to every doctor In active prac-
tice. In this English case the fact
that the plaintiff was nurse, and
knew well the dangerous effects Of
the drug which she continued taking
Of her OVID accord, should have been
enough to satisfy her lawyers that she
had no claims either in justice or In
law. Such remote consequences are
hardly to be appraised at money
value, or to be ascribed to the fault Of
a physician who had merely given the
drug In therapeutic doses.-PhiladeI.
