Victorian 'Morphia' set - “When the stomach is very sensitive and will not tolerate their internal administration, one-sixth of a grain of Morphia can be inserted beneath the skin by means of a hypodermic syringe. Relief is more quickly experienced, and the anodyne effect is much more lasting, than when taken into the stomach”. - The People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser in Plain English or Medicine Simplified by R. V. Pierce, M.D.
