Mrs. Dubose suffers from fits always, not only when Jem and Scout came. But, she suffers from fits because she was addicted to morphine, a strong painkiller. She had asked Jem to read to her because she wanted something to distract her from her addiction. But Atticus said later that she probably never heard a word they told her because she was only thinking about getting her morphine pill, after Jem and Scout left.
