morphine

morphine
A principal alkaloid of opium; a narcotic, People v Clark, 7 Ill 2d 163, 130 NE2d 195, the two usual forms of which are morphine hydrochloride and morphine sulphate. Morphine hydrochloride is a chemical combination of morphine and hydrochloric acid and morphine sulphate is a chemical combination of sulphuric acid and morphine. It is generally held that, in an indictment for selling such drugs, the word "morphine" is sufficiently specific to charge the selling of any of these compounds. Jefferson v State, 34 Okla 56, 244 P 460; Hoffman v United States (CA8 Minn) 20 F2d 328.
