Maintaining physiological stability is of highest priority. Withdrawal delirium is often accompanied by loss of fluid and electrolytes through vomiting, diarrhea, and diaphoresis.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
