morphine  without  producing  constipation,  nausea  or  lassitude.  It

vantage over  codeine.  Applied  to  the  eye,  it  causes  a  local  vaso-

mended to  relieve  pain,  especially  in  respiratory  affections,  as  an 
antispasmodic  in  whooping-cough,  for  insomnia  and  externally  in 
the  treatment  of  corneal  affections,  conjunctivitis,  iritis,  etc.
