it was still more so. Indeed; it seems liųlo short of a miracle that I managed both to do my work and escape death. One evening, after consulting hours, I was sitting solitary in my raim, having just injected an extra strong dose of morphia and cecaine, when a most extraord inary feeling came over me feeling quite new; my method now, as I have explained, was to introduce the acedia into a distended veip. On this particular evening I experience ed a most extraordinary sensation of exal- talion. I was lifted, so to speak, on to another "plane of existence. I seemed to see myriads 'nt shapes, and hear the sounds of delightful music. Som of the shapes were human others the most horribly grotesque. My per sonality seemed to be duplicated; that is to say, that mysall, in propria persons, was extend ed, full length as the couch in my consultior room, pale as death, and motionless, with eyes closed; whilst what now describe as my alter ego was losting about in space.

Remember, all this was taking place in a room fully furnished, with professional desk, chairs, and table. At this juncture my house ke per rang the electric bell; it had been my custom to lock my door on the inside. The ound of the bell was quite clean, by double- self, but in an instant of time is "ned to re sume my personality nod, rise up from the sofa- to answer the door.

worth while to remember the terrible physical efferts. When the drugs are not procurable this is something almost indescribable. The victim is what one would call abjectly incapab'e of any act of volition; this is, of course, the worst stage, and, as frequently happens in cases of those with debilitated framer, is the point where death is imminent. The wretched being strives to obtain the accustomed drug without avail, Exhausted, he lies for some time, frequently for hours.
