THE OPIUM JIMJAMS.
An Indiana Man’s Terrible Expe
rience.
An Indiana man is one of the most recent
heroes, and his description of his tortnres when
using the drug, and his jiro-j ims when ceasing
its use, should give courage to Z ick Chandler
i ^forming far the morphine jim-jam is de
cidedly ahead of the ordinary cheap whisky tre
mens.
This constituent of Dan Voohees says:
‘I don't nse opinm myself, mind yon, bnt
morphine, the active principle of opium. 1 took
it hypodermically, nnder ilir skin; that is, the
morphine in solution was injKited into my arm.
Yon never had infltmmalory rheumatism,
perhaps!* Well, I have, and when a man has
that he'll j amp at anything for relief.
‘Five years ago I began the nse of morphine
by snbcntaneos inj*ction. I never used the lit
tle needle-nosed syringe myself, but the sooth
ing fluid was always injected by my physician.
At first it was given to me two or three times a
week, nnder the skin of my arm; bnt it was no
great while until the syringe came to be used
that of on every day, and I became a slave to the
drug. I was gloomy, despondent, worthless,
as the rosy visions that followed its use were ac
companied by a languor and listlessness that
made me utterly averse to all exertion. My
right arm (for that ma'ter my left also) has been
so closly punctnred with hoies from the syringe
point that yon couldn t lay a quarter down on
my arm anywhere without touching two or three
sore places, for the morphine inflamed the flesh
wherever incision was made. Wom«n who use
morpbiDe hypodermically have the flnid inject
ed under the knee-cap. This is for the reason
that they no not like to disfigure their arms.
Two months ago I determined to go to Hot
Springs, Arkansas; to see if f couldn't boil the
morphine out of my system and undertake some
treatment that would cure me of the habit. I
wa« a slave to morphine. It bad completely
enervated me and ruined me for everything.
Cured of rheumatism, I had acquired in its stead
the opinm disease, opiophagy, which was in
finitely worse. When I left this city to go to
Hot Springs my physician advised me to take a
solution of morphine along with me and a hy
podermic syringe. I did so, but resolved not
to nse it nntil the last extremity. Do yon know
that the craving for liquor is not to be compared
with the insatiate desire that a morphine user
has for the nepenthe? On the cars, on my way
to the springs, I suffered terribly, resolved not
to nse the opiate, but as 1 neared my destination
my suffering increased. People on the cars who
sow my writbings (for my limbB became con
torted and my teeth grated together) thought
me mad. Finally I could hold ont no longer.
With great difficulty I bared my arm, and with
unsteady hand jabbed the syringe into it. It
struck a vein or an artery, I dont know which.
The blood spnrted across the car, three or four
women fainted and several men rushed forward
thinking it was a suicide. You can have no idea
of tliA shock that went through me as the fluid
ectt red Uie vein. Flash after flash of searing,
blinding light shot across my eves, and from
my heels to the top of my spinal column wen t
an electric-like current that seemed to burn as
it ran. In five minutes I felt myself again, that
is, my old morphine self, bnt I once more re
solved to rid myself of the bondage, even if my
life went ont in the effort. When I got to the
springs I put my hypodermic solution and the
instrument aside and began taking the baths. I
don't know anything that occurred daring the
next ten duvs, except that I suffered a thousand
deaths. I had every pain and ache that aima-
yiaej^ver to!d of. Morphine is a drag that the
entire system grows to aDd assimilates with. If
you deprive yourself of it after it has become
necessary to yon, you suffer the tortures ot tLe
damped. I had bnt cue thought in my mind in
alt those terribie days—to free myself from the
drug. I did it and thank God lor it. Do you
see my hair how gray it is? Not one man in a
thousand, I've h6en told, could do what I have
done. Several pysicians to whom I have told
mv txperieneo look on rue in wonder. They
say my nerve is nneqnaled. They be light. I
only know that §50,000 wouldn’t hire me to un
dertake the experience of those leu days again.

The Most Married of Women.
[Smyrna (Del.) Times.]
Benjamin Abbott, one of our old citizens, died in

of his age. He was a nephew ot the celebrated
Rev Beni unin Abbott, the great Methodist revi

to the State from New Jersey wnen a young man
and settled in the “Neck,” east of this town, where
his active life was mostly spent. But the notable
feature in Mr. Abbot's otherwise uneventful life is
the remarkable fact of being the seventh husband
of his widow who survives him. This much talked
of and muck-published event (farit went.therounds
of the press of the nation), when ]>®tortfoe sewnd
and she for the seventh time bowed before the altar
of Hymen, occurred on June 30, ,s 75. hethen being
seventy-eight and she eighty-two years old. Mrs.
Abbott’s history in the marital relations of life
tauds perhaps without a parallel in the records of
the nation and tradition has it there is to be yet
mother, ft ““currently stated, without cqntradic-
