		In another report, a 51-year-old woman with chronic diarrhea died from morphine intoxication after receiving 1 tsp of opium tincture (~50 mg morphine), usually dosed by the number of drops, instead of paregoric, which is dosed by the teaspoon.
		Tell clinicians that it is dangerous to refer to paregoric as "camphorated tincture of opium." Also, "DTO" should never be used as an abbreviation for opium tincture (also known as deodorized tincture of opium) because a 1:25 dilution has also been referred to as DTO (diluted tincture of opium).

		Nonetheless, standard narcotic remedies like paregoric remained readily available into the early 20th century, and Benzedrine inhalers were marketed without prescription until the early 1950s.
		As the deleterious effects of chronic opiate use became increasingly recognized during the late 19th century, several factors helped ease the need for opiates: the improvements in sanitation diminished cholera and dysentery, the drainage of swamp lands decreased malaria, and the introduction of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin; 1899) provided an alternative medicine for moderate pain relief.
