. Phil. Jour. of the Med. and Phys. Sciences, for August, 
1827. ‘I am indebted to Dr. oom for ys ag gtieas 
teresting history of the crystalline forms of its (Morphia) ~ 
saline compounds”—then quoting, as from Dr. Coxe, — 
' verbatim, what is from Paris, the following :— 
Carbonas Morphiz crystallizes in short prisms. 
Acetas Morphiz, in soft prisms, very soluble, and extremely 
‘~: »: Sulphas: Marphia, in sxboreacent crysials, very soluble. 
_ Murias Morphiz, in plumose s, much less. soluble; 
when evaporated, it concretes into a shining white plu- 
mous mass on cooling. 
_ Nitrates Morphiz, in prisms grouped together. 
__ Meconias Morphizx, in oblique prisms, sparingly soluble. 
.° Tartras Morphiz, in prisms. 
| Thave only changed Paris’s statement, by Latinizing the ; 
+ salts, for officinal uniformity. a a 
Magendie says, the oleagi s compound of olive oil 
morphia, acts with gre intensity, . . 
The Acetas Morphiz, is the most active salt, and is officinal a 
in the Paris Phamacopeia, with directions for its prepara- 
tion. May be given in pills, electuary, draughts, or mix- 
tures. Dose, + of a grain to gr. i, in 24 hours. oe
