Opium



An Opium prover, when coming out from under the influence of the drug, sees frightful images, black forms, visions of devils, fire, ghosts, someone carrying her off, murder. Imagines that parts swell and that he is going to burst.

There is also a sensation of bodily well being; great happiness great state of confidence in the first hours of the drug. Hence, complaints from sudden joy, anger, shame, sudden fright. Coffea has a similar state of beatitude. It is both a physical and mental beatitude in Opium. Opium and Coffea are related; they antidote each other.

Opium eaters like whisky drinkers are constitutional liars. They have no conscience left.

“Great sensibility to sound, light, and faintest odors.”

“Drowsiness with headache, amounting almost to stupor.”

“Marasmus; child wrinkled and looks like a little dried up old man; stupor.”

Old cases of lead poisoning. Pulsatilla cures the diarrhea following the abuse of Opium.
