  Sheila would you like to download a text file explaining the resons why
addiction had no part of this morphine therapy,if so let me know and I can
set it up for file request thru the NETWORK or you can call my BBS and the
file can be taken that way!!!
  This is an article in the Journal of Medicine by Dr.Ronald Melzack and I
have found it to be the best pain therapy around & it took me 15 years too
find one anyone interested in MS-Contin therapy morphine let me know I got
it finally into computer text that can be xfered around the world.
P.S morphine is not addictive if taken for pain nor is any other narcotic.
This includes Pot hash etc etc etc.
