There is but one all-absorbing want, one engrossing desire--his whole being has but one tongue--that tongue syllables but one word-- morphia. And oh! the vain, vain attempt to break this bondage, the labor worse than useless--a minnow struggling to break the toils that bind a Triton!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
