ately two thousand miles.
There were 1880 deaths from
tuberculosis in this state during
1918 and 3s7 for the first three
months of 1919, an economic liabiI-
ity far heavier than should have

estimated at Sl0.000,0D0 by public
health staiisticians.

AS ENTlDoTE TO MORPHINE
Salt Ia Recommended as Cure ios
Habits Which When long In
dulged In Are Fatal.

Salt has been suggested as a cure
for the morphine habit. ln the
growth Of the habit the addict grad
ually increases his doses until he
takes a quantity which would be
fatal at an earlier period Of his
career. The immunity is due to the
presence of an antibody or antitoxin
in the blood,
When later the morphine is with
drawn the antibody remains in the
blood unneutralized, and, according
to the theory that is generally ac-
cepted, il is this antibody that gives
rise TO the characteristic symptoms
of nervousness, leg pains, sweating,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
These symptoms are relieved when
morphine is administered. Injections
of salt are said to have given relief
to the patient without any injurious
effects, and in many cases three or
four injections each day have been
administered. Cases have been cured
after ten days or two weeks. The
treatment was described by DR.. C. S.
Bluemel, in the American Medical
journal.
