INJECTIONS OF MORPHINE.

spasmodic colics, and was treated by hypodermic injections of mor¬ 
phine and atropine in three places, on one side of the neck; these 
were followed by the formation of small abscesses, which being 
opened, healed readily. Four days after he was found with his jaws 
closed tight, the membrana nictitains protruding over the eye, the 
muscles of the body contracted; in a word presented all the symptoms 
of tetanus.

these. The great mesenteric artery w r as found the seat of an aneurism, 
the mesenteric glands being much enlarged and congested, the intes¬ 
tinal canal proved to be healthy.
