The Treatment of Opium Habit with Lecithin and Glucose

چکیده
In this paper we have recorded certain observations on the treatment of addiction to opium with lecithin and glucose which has been tried by us in the Carmichael Hospital for Tropical Diseases during the past two years. Following the lead given by our biochemical and biophysical studies (unpublished) we have treated a series of 80 patients, by the method described below, in the hospital and 120 cases in the outpatient department; these patients were taking doses of opium ranging from 10 grains to 200 grains a day. The results obtained by us have been so satisfactory that we now venture to publish them and commend them to the notice of those who have to deal with the difficult problem of getting addicts rid of this terrible drug habit.
