In this case the hysterical element was decided, and somewhat modified the treatment. The symptoms that follow the sudden deprivation of morphia are so vividly and well described by Levenstein, who has treated many cases in this way, that I cannot refrain from giving his own words:— “Although persons who suffer from morbid craving for morphia show different symptoms, some of them beginning to feel the effects of the poison after using it for several months, while others enjoy comparatively good health for years together, there is no difference between them as regards the consequences upon the partial or entire withdrawal of the narcotic drug. “In this respect they are all equal. None of them have the power of satisfying their passions unpunished. “Only a few hours have passed since using the last injection of morphia, and already the feeling of comfort brought on by the action of the drug is passing off. They are overcome by a feeling of uneasiness and restlessness; the feeling of self-consciousness and self-possession is gone, and is replaced by extreme despondency; a slight cough gradually brings on dyspnœa, which is increased by want of sleep and by hallucinations. “The vaso-motoric system shows its weakness by abundant perspiration, by the dark color of the face, which replaces the pale condition apparent during the first few days.
