hypodermic injection

“Do not stir,” he said, “but I fear that with growing strength she may wake; and that would make danger, oh, so much danger. But I shall precaution take. I shall give hypodermic injection of morphia.”

In the past, they have backed not only a prohibition on buying needles but also on spending any federal dollars “to carry out any program of distributing sterile needles for the hypodermic injection of any illegal drug.”

Under these circumstances the hypodermic injection of from three to five grains of ergotin, repeated if necessary, has seldom in my experience failed to check the hemorrhage.

I prefer the deodorized tincture, twenty or thirty drops, repeated if necessary in an hour or two, but I have seen good results from the solid opium and from the hypodermic injection of morphia.

It should be met, therefore, by the hypodermic injection of from one-sixth to one-third grain of morphia in solution.
