the society Of the loved one; he suffers most acuel
under the effects of the poison when she is absent
and when she comes, doesn't feel much better. Hi

good sense and his interests dictate.
''Generally speaking, the symptoms of the pOis
on of love are almost identical with those called
forth by morphine. The morphinist, like the love
poisoned man or woman, cannot live without th
drug; in his eyes the drug is the dearest thing il
the wide, wide world. BE is unhappy witheut it
and unhappier still after applying it. The drug
exercises ever increasing power over him, it's

than the girl we love.
