MODERN TREATMENT FOR OPIUM ADDICTS IN HANGCHOW.
Two methods of cure are being used constantly m the hospital. One is the blister method, developed abroad and now a favourite m Chineese anti-opium institutions. A large gauze pad smeared with a drawing substance is placed on the patient's chest, and m a few hours a large blister forms on the spot. The liquid is tapped from the blister and injected intramuscularly into the
patient without delay. Usually one such injection is sufficient — some 15 ccm. The other method involves the use of the patient's own blood-serum. Enough blood is taken from the arm to provide sufficient serum for an injection. The serum is given intramuscularly to the patient.
