Description

Excerpt from Nashville Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 107: August, 1913 SO far as the amount is concerned, the same rule should be followed here as is indicated in the Opium stage in malignant and incurable diseases. Should the dose be too rapidly increased, un der the latter conditions, or carried to too great an extent, the time is liable to come when the drug ceases to give relief and the patient is indeed in a pitiable state. Her sheet-anchor is gone. Her nervous system may be demoralized by the drug and the disease, and the ingenuity of the medical attendants is taxed to the utmost to give the relief so desirable in these distressing cases. Partial relief to suffering, as can usually be secured with moderate doses of the opiate, is preferable to entire relief for a time at the expense of large and increasing doses that can not be long continued. In the class of cases under consideration in this paper, large doses of opium are not a tonic and would eventually do more harm than good. The writer can not insist too strongly upon this point. It is the mild, tonic effects that are desired, and not the stronger, variable, stimulating effects, that are liable to be followed by a reaction that defeats the Objects of the method. Properly managed, under the supervision of a discreet physician, the drug can be used indefinitely with benefit. The stomach and bowels are not disturbed to any extent. Vitality is maintained. The nervous system is steadied and supported, and life is better worth living not only for the patient, but for all within the sphere Of his in uence.
