sometimes twice a day, for a fortnight; by this sole means, with rest, quietude, and light nourishing food, the patient was brought to comparative convalescence. The injections were then gradually discontinued, and she got quite well. In a second case, which presented itself in the out-patient room at Westminster Hospital, a young man of markedly-nervous temperament, who had been somewhat given to drink, complained of similarly deep-seated intermittent pain, which he referred, however, to a point nearer the back of the head. He suffered, also, from vertigo, especially after unusually long paroxysms. Blisters to the nape of the neck, and a few subcutaneous injections of morphia, removed the pain and the vertigo completely. A third example was that of a gentleman, aged thirty-four, who was sent over from the neighborhood of Sydney, Australia, to see me. Here, also, there was deep-seated intracranial neuralgic pain of the most severe kind, which greatly alarmed his local medical attendants; and it was only after a great many remedies had been tried that one medical man gave the opinion that the disease was "neuralgia of the membranes of the brain," and employed the hypodermic injection of morphia. This treatment at once gave great relief, though the pain had been so severe as to cause delirium on several occasions. In order to get thoroughly re-established, he was sent to England, and desired to consult me. As was expected, the voyage proved of the greatest service, as he hardly suffered at all while on the water. On arriving in England he was at first well, but in a week or two began to feel somewhat below par, and one morning, feeling an attack of pain coming on, he came to me. He was a tall and strongly-built man, with nothing peculiar in his appearance except a certain languor and heaviness of the eyes. He appeared to have lived somewhat freely and to have smoked decidedly to excess. His description of the attacks left no doubt of their neuralgic character, and in other respects they seemed quite analogous to the other cases mentioned above, except in one thing, that there seemed a good deal of evidence tending to show a bad local influence in the air of that part of Australia where he usually resided. Almost any change from that had always done him good, though nothing had done anything like so much as the voyage to England. On the occasion of his first visit to me I injected him with one-sixth grain acetate of morphia, thereby stopping the pain. I prescribed muriate of iron and minute doses of strychnia, which he took for some little time, but the pain never recurred during his stay in England and on the Continent. Unfortunately, as he was anxious to return to Australia, I permitted him to do so, after a stay in the Old World of only three or four months; but, very shortly indeed after his return to Sydney, his old complaint attacked him. This time, unhappily, the hypodermic morphia has proved merely palliative, and I
