Injectable Morphine



Not long ago someone asked about injectable morphine carried by corpsmen or medics. I think this is an accurate answer.
 
"The morphine Syrettes - small tubes with a needle on one end and a dispenser on the other - contained a quarter grain of morphine to be injected into a grievously injured Marine to dull unbearable pain."
