Riassunto

Excerpt from Philadelphia Medical Times, Vol. 7: A Bi-Weekly Journal of Medical and Surgical Science; December 23, 1876

Very trifling operations sometimes are fol lowed by most unpleasant consequences. I have just mentioned that in two cases lately, death followed vaccination, apparently from pyaemia. A case of death following a hypo dermic injection is just recorded. A lady who had fallen into the habit of injecting morphine to relieve sickness to which she was very lia ble, was seized with tetanus and died. It transpired that she was scarred with marks of old injections, as well as bearing marks Of recent origin and in a wardrobe were found a number of phials Of solution of morphine, an injection-syringe, and several rusty steel needles. The use of the latter led to the un fortunate consequences. This case teaches another lesson, viz., the spreading habit of secretly resorting to the hypodermic use of morphia,-the most dangerous Of all forms of narcotic indulgence.
