My cartosity being aroused by your first article, I too commenced a series of enquiries on the subject. My results are the very reverse of yours. Most of the patients informed me that the injections were anything but a bood to those who have had recourse to them. Beguiled by the wlly misrepresentations of other coiles who they discovered too late had been bribed by those interested in the morphice divans, they tried the new "cure" and found it a delusion and a snare. They found that, instead of being freed from one devil they were saddled with anether.
