Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 5 March 1924
die Mercurii.
Came to the end of my Dr. Jarvis's [Dr. Charles Jarvis] supply of aq[uarius] [Heroin]. Symptoms of the usual type, but very severe, came on. Dr. J—who had promised to renew the prescription and call in person—selected, with infallible tact, that moment to break his word, and abandon me.
Luckily the Cefalù aq. [Heroin] was found to be good—probably saving my life or reason. Moral: trust those who really love you: distrust even the worthiest-seeming folk who don't.
