Book excerpt: Excerpt from Monthly Cyclopaedia and Medical Bulletin, Vol. 4 The form of replies in some instances was so involved as to make the exact meaning of the author difficult of interpretation. The classification adopted in the above tables gives, it is believed, the information submitted in correct manner. Table No. 1, for example, shows that, in the experience Of 35 of the 151 medical men replying, careless prescribing and using of morphine by physicians are among the most common causes of enslavement by this drug. The data in this table furthermore show that in a large majority of cases addiction is due to promiscuous use and indiscriminate sale of these drugs. This is amply substantiated by the experience of sanitariums. It requires only a casual review of these tables to become satisfied that predisposition plays a minor part in habituation. The exciting causes are the great factors. In connection with the replies of the sanitariums, it should be remembered that they are in all probability based on the statements of patients, who are prone to charge some doctor with' carelessness rather than indiscretion and follies on their own part.
