(N. Am. J. of Horn., 1, 518), effects of fumes of the concentrated acid, in
a woman.
Head. — Headache and great sleepiness, at 1 p.m., increased and were
worse at 3 p.m., but continued through the evening till I retired at 11 p.m.
(third day),81. — Slight frontal headache, with some dizziness (after first
dose),2. — Peculiar sensations in the temples, as if brain were distended ; a
feeling of pressure on the temples (one nour after second dose, first day),1.
— While leaning to left side, sudden sticking ache in left temporal region,
preceded by twitching of anterior fibres of temporal muscle (after five
minutes, second day), . — Arose at 7 a.m., with feeling as I arose from a
lying position as if the brain was all in the occiput, making it feel heavy
(third day),8.
Face* — Lower lip has a blister on the inner side as large as an incisor
tooth, which I first noticed at 1 p.m. ; while eating dinner, at 2 p.m., could
not help biting it ; for several hours after, whenever I closed my teeth, I
would bite it ; the inside of lower lip was also somewhat swollen, and this
blister the most pointing part (fourth day),8*.
Mouth* — Immediately a sense of pressure or fulness in the parotid,
submaxillary, and sublingual glands, in the order named, with some in-
crease of saliva ; on left side, increased more and more towards zygoma
and malar bone; less on right side (first day),1. — My mouth filled with
saliva (soon after the fluttering of heart), which I spat out ; my mouth
continued filling- as rapidly as I could spit for about ten minutes, when it
decreased in quantity, but continued in a less and less degree for one hour,
or from 2 to 3 p.m. (ninth day),8*.
Throat* — While writing at a very low table, spasmodic tremulous
contractions in pharynx, in the vicinity of the levator palati muscles (after
half an hour, second day),1.
Stomach* — [10.] Evacuation of flatus, and eructation of the same ;
since first dose, easier than common (second morning),1.
Abdomen. — Sensation from left hypochondrium to rectum as of de-
sire for stool, following the course of the large bowel, on rising at 7.30
a.m. (second day) ; on rising (third morning),1. — Slight colic in Tower re-
gion of abdomen (one hour after third dose, first day),8.
Stool* — After breakfast, a free, loose, yellowish, pappy stool (third
day),1. — Have been troubled more or less with constipation since I began
the proving ; this evening, at 7 p.m., had desire for stool ; after much urging
was unable to pass anything owing to constriction of sphincter ani ; on
pressing with finger at the end of coccyx, expelled a small amount of faeces
(twelfth day) ; desire for stool, at 8 a.m. ; after much urging with rectus
abdominis, expelled a small amount of faeces, notwithstanding the constric-
tion of the sphincter ani (thirteenth day),8*.
Urinary Organs, — Immediately, sensation in penis, afterwards in
bladder (whilst writing), of desire to urinate ; later a sort of languid ach-
ing through hips and thighs (front) and small of back (having rested
arms on thighs) ; after a short delay, passed a quantity of normal, some-
what pale urine (third day),1.
Respiratory Organs. — The fumes caught her breath, and pro-
duced inflammation of the larynx and of the bronchial tubes, which nearly
proved fatal,4. — Inspiration more easy than usual (second morning),1.
Heart and Pulse* — Some palpitation of heart (one hour after sec-
ond dose, first day),8. — Fluttering of the heart, while eating dinner at 2
p.m. (eighth day) ; while eating dinner, at 1.30 p.m. ; at a quarter before
NITRO-MURIATIC ACID. 45
2 p.m., started for the cars, was a few minutes late, and had to run part of
the way ; after running slowly half a square, was taken with fluttering of
the heart, so I had to stop running and walk, when it gradually passed off
(ninth day),8*.
Neck and Sack. — [20.] While taking a cold hath, took a pain in
right side of hack, about the position of the rhomboideus major muscle,
rheumatic, i. e., catching, muscular pain, on twisting and lifting the limb,
at 7.30 a.m. (fifth day),1. — Heavy pain in quadratus lumborum muscle
(third day),8.
Extremities in General.— Sticking in dorsum of right hand to
third knuckle ; afterwards successively, the same on dorsum of left fore-
arm and hand, then in back of both thighs when walking, at 7.30 p.m. ;
directly after, while still walking, a sharp, stitchlike drawing pain in front
of right forearm, beginning and worse and most persistent at commence-
ment of biceps tendon, above elbow (third day) ; the pains (especially of
the upper extremities) recurred quite frequently, up to the morning of the
fourth day,1. — A sort of languid aching through hips and thighs (front)
and small of back (having rested arms on thighs), (third day),1.
Inferior Extremities* — While sitting, a glow, with languid feel-
ing, from calf to sole of left lower extremity, continuing as heat in the
sole ; within a few minutes, sensation as if perspiration would break out,
while sitting (third day),1. — On walking in the room, a cramp momentarily
felt in hollow of right foot (after three-quarters of an hour, second day),1.
Generalities* — Very much worn out by much hard study and little
exercise ; felt mentally and physically depressed, like I did previous to
having typhoid fever, three years ago; worse from 10 to 12 a.m. ; at 12.30
went to gymnasium, and after moderate exercise felt very weak, but im-
proved in about an hour after (eighth day),8*. — A pricking sensation in the
muscles between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones of the right foot, at
the same time a similar pain in the region of the bladder ; both were quite
light (after four hours and a quarter),8. — Took breakfast at 8 o'clock (ate
bread and butter, and bread and milk), which did not seem digested at 2
o'clock, when I ate dinner (second day) ; food or regular meals seemed to
be much longer in digesting (third day),8.
Sleep. — Slept unusually well (first night), and felt the next morning
better than usual,8. — [30.] Very sleepy, with headache, at 1 p.m. ; head-
ache and sleepiness increased, and were worse at 3 p.m., but continued
through the evening till I retired, at 11 p.m. (third day),8*.
Fever. — A chilly sensation passed over me, which commenced in the
rectus femoris muscle, passed upward over the body to the face (after ten
minutes),8. — While sitting by the stove reading, chilliness, commencing at
all points on a line drawn around the chest and over the arms at the lower
part of the sternum, passed upward over the shoulders, up the neck, face,
and head, converging at the vertex, at 1 p.m. (second day),8*. — Slight

Mind. — Became so violent in dentist's chair, could hardly hold her,30.
— Unusual exaltation of mind, the most agreeable sensations and fancies ;
had an involuntary desire to laugh (after one hour),1*. — " The principal
feeling was a total difficulty of restraining my feelings, both corporeal and
mental ; or, in other words, not having any command over myself," u. —

Mental torture beyond endurance. It was a nightmare of the mind, pure
and simple, in which no earthly objects took part. He was like Blake, or
any other madman you might name, trying in that exquisitely painful
moment to solve the insoluble and grasp the illimitable ; he was now en-
f Selected from numerous observations. — T. F. A.

deavoring to conceive what lay beyond all space, and now trying to realize
the condition of nothing. Then came a spiral winding from an infinite
distance into a point, when he exclaimed to himself, "I can bear it no
longer ; I am going mad," and at that instant awoke,31. — " Inhaling the gas,
I felt as if every nerve was gently agitated with a lively enjoyment," . —
Soon found his nervous system agitated by the highest sensations of pleas-
ure, but which were difficult of description. When the bags were exhausted
and taken from him, he suddenly started from his chair, and vociferating
with pleasure, made towards those that were present, as he wished they
should participate in his feelings. He struck gently at Davy, and a
stranger entering the room at the same moment, he made towards him and
gave him several blows ; but, he adds, it was more in the spirit of good
humor than in that of anger. He theu ran through different rooms in the
house, and at last returned to the laboratory somewhat more composed,
although his spirits continued more elevated for some hours after the ex-
periment ; he felt, however, no subsequent effects either in the evening or
day following. Upon another occasion, he states that his sensations were
superior to anything he ever before experienced ; his step was firm, and all
his muscular power increased. His nerves were more alive to every sur-
rounding impression ; he threw himself into several theatrical attitudes,
and traversed the laboratory with a quick step, while his mind was elevated
to a most sublime height ; he says that it is giving but a faint idea of his
feelings to say that they resembled those produced by a representation of
a heroic scene on the stage, or by reading a sublime passage in poetry,
when circumstances contribute to awaken the finest sympathies of the soul.
The influence, however, of this inspiring agent appears to have be*en as
transitory as its effects were vivid ; for he afterwards observes, " I have
seldom lately experienced vivid sensations. The pleasure produced by the
gas is slight and tranquil, and I rarely feel sublime emotions or increased
muscular power," T. — First, there was noticed a pleasant sensation of ex-
hilaration or general stimulation, in which the thoughts ran rapidly through
the brain, and soon it appeared to me that I was dreaming ; then the head
felt full, giddiness supervened, and a humming or buzzing sensation, to-
gether with a feeling as though I was gradually being elevated up into the
air and passing away. A peculiar tingling sensation in the finer nerves of
the extremities was observed, somewhat analogous to that which is felt
when experiencing that feeling which is commonly expressed by the term
" hand or foot being asleep," caused by pressure on the main nerve-trunk
of the part, and similar to that I noticed over the whole body when I was
suffering from an attack of " spotted fever " or typhus petechial is. The last
impressions were that I was laughing, while at the same time I was flying
through the air, and my feet were trembling and going up and down as
though pressing upon a treadle that propelled the imaginary machinery
that was conveying me through the air, while everything around was fast
becoming dim ; complete unconsciousness then ensued. The return from
this state was sudden, as if arousing from a sound sleep, and the first ob-
jects that attracted my attention were the five or six gentlemen who were
in the room, violently convulsed with laughter, while I myself was seized
with a hearty convulsion of laughter, which I could not in any manner
control,17. — It produced the usual pleasurable effects, and slight muscular
motion. I continued exhilarated for some minutes afterwards ; but in half
an hour found myself neither more nor less exhausted than before the ex-
periment. I had a great propensity to sleep. I repeated the experiment
48 NITROGENIUM OXYGENATUM.
four or five times during the following week with similar effects. My sus-
ceptibility was certainly not diminished; I even thought that I was more
affected than formerly by equal doses,*. — [10,] For three minutes I ex-
perienced no alteration in my sensations, though immediately after the in-
troduction of the Nitrous oxide, the smell and taste of it were very evident.
In four minutes I began to feel a slight glow in the cheeks, and a gener-
ally diffused warmth over the chest, though the temperature of the box
was not quite 50°. I had neglected to feel my pulse before I went in ; at
this time it was 104 and hard ; the animal heat was 98°. In ten minutes
the animal heat was near 99° ; in a quarter of an hour, 99.5°, when the
pulse was 102, and fuller than before. At this period twenty quarts more
of Nitrous oxide were thrown into the box, and well mingled with the
mass of air. by agitation. In twenty-five minutes the animal heat was 100°,
pulse 124. In thirty minutes twenty quarts more of gas were introduced.
My sensations were now pleasant ; I had a generally diffused warmth, with-
out the slightest moisture of the skin ; a sense of exhilaration similar to
that produced by a small dose of wine, and a disposition to muscular mo-
tion and to merriment. In three-quarters of an hour the pulse was 104,
and animal heat not 99.5°; the temperature of the chamber was 64°. The
pleasurable feelings continued to increase, the pulse became fuller and
slower, till in about an hour it was 88, when the animal heat was 99°.
Twenty quarts more of air were admitted. I had now a great disposition
to laugh, luminous points seemed frequently to pass before my eyes, my
hearing was certainly more acute, and I felt a pleasant lightness and
power of exertion in my muscles. In a short time the symptoms became
stationary ; breathing was rather oppressed, and on account of the great
desire of action, rest was painful. I now came out of the box, having been
in precisely an hour and a quarter. The moment after, I began to respire
twenty quarts' of unmingled Nitrous oxide. A thrilling, extending from
the chest to the extremities, was almost immediately produced. I felt a
sense of tangible extension, highly pleasurable, in every limb ; my visible
impressions were dazzling and apparently magnified ; I heard distinctly
every sound in the room, and was perfectly aware of my situation. By
degrees, as the pleasurable sensations increased, I lost all connection with
external things ; trains of vivid visible images rapidly passed through my
mind, and were connected with words in such a manner as to produce per-
ceptions perfectly novel. I existed in a world of newly connected and
newly modified ideas. I theorized ; I imagined that I made discoveries.
When I was awakened from this semi-delirious trance by Dr. Kinglake,
who took the bag from my mouth, indignation and pride were the first
feeling produced by the sight of the persons about me. My emotions were
enthusiastic and sublime, and for a minute I walked round the room per-
fectly regardless of what was said to me. As I recovered my former state of
mind, I felt an inclination to communicate the discoveries I had made
during the experiment. I endeavored to recall the ideas ; they were feeble
and indistinct ; one collection of terms, however, presented itself, and with
the most intense belief and prophetic manner, I exclaimed to Dr. King-
lake, " Nothing exists but thoughts I The universe is composed of impressions,
ideas, pleasures, and pains /" About three minutes and a half only had
elapsed during this experiment, though the time, as measured by the rela-
tive vividness of the recollected ideas, appeared to me much longer. Not
more than half of the Nitrous oxide was consumed. After a minute, be-
fore the thrilling of the extremities had disappeared, I breathed the re-
NITROGENIUM OXYGENATUM. 49
mainder. Similar sensations were again produced ; I was quickly thrown
into the pleasurable trance, and continued in it longer than before. For
many minutes after the experiment, I experienced the thrilling in the ex-
tremities ; the exhilaration continued nearly two hours. For a much longer
time I experienced the mild enjoyment before described connected with
indolence ; no depression or feebleness followed. I ate my dinner with
great appetite, and found myself lively and disposed to action immediately
afterwards. I passed the evening in executing experiments. At night, I
found myself unusually cheerful and active, and the hours between 11 and
2 were spent in copying the foregoing detail from the commonplace book,
and in arranging the experiments. In bed, I enjoyed profound repose.
When I awoke in the morning, it was with consciousness of pleasurable
existence, and this consciousness, more or less, continued through the day,*.
— A few seconds after the commencement of the inhalation the pulse began
to grow firmer and less compressible, and to decrease in frequency, falling
from 85 to 75 in the course of the first minute. In less than a minute the
breathing became quicker and almost of a blowing character. He was
somewhat exhilarated and stamped with his feet to show the satisfaction
he felt. The breathing then assumed a labored, almost stertorous, char-
acter, and I attempted to remove the face-piece, but he clutched it firmly
and resisted my efforts to do so — not long, however, for he soon began to
lose consciousness and his hold relaxed. On recovering, which was almost
instantaneous after removal of the inhaler, he said he felt as if just aroused
from a delicious sleep,*1. — (The headache, which had troubled me during
the afternoon and before going to sleep, was entirely gone, and I felt much
invigorated by the effects of the gas), . — It produced feelings analogous to
those of intoxication. He was for some time unconscious of existence, but
at no period of the experiment were his sensations agreeable ; a. momentary
nausea followed, but unconnected with languor or headache. In a subse-
quent trial it would appear that he did experience certain thril lings that
were highly pleasurable,8. — Sensations perfectly new and delightful,1*. —
The dilute gas has almost invariably an exhilarating effect upon me ; for
the first few seconds the symptoms resemble those caused by the pure gas,
but come on more gradually. The breathing is at first affected, and fre-
quently at the end of a minute is of a pantiug character. At this stage a
Might sense of suffocation may be felt, soon passing off, however, not to re-
turn again as long as the supply of Nitrous oxide is abundant The next
symptom is a feeling of fulness in the head, and a tendency to fixedness of
the eyes ; then it soon becomes apparent that general sensibility is affected,
the perception of external objects being slower. Next is noticed a sense of
increased resistance in the feet, suggesting the idea that they might act
involuntarily in throwing the body forward. These symptoms become
more marked, and develop into unmistakable dizziness, more noticeable,
of course, if the inhalant is standing, and then an effort is required to
maintain the equilibrium. At this stage, too, are perceived the thrilling
and vibratory sensations ; the accommodating power of the eve is affected,
and objects are seen as through a mist The senses of smell and hearing
become more acute ; distant and otherwise faintly heard sounds are judged
to be near, and are distinctly heard ; if they are of a rhythmical kind, as
the sounds of a mason's hammer, they seem to recur more frequently, and
the appreciation of the rhythm is more acute. And now the more strictly
mental symptoms come into prominence. Having on one occasion inhaled
the gas when I had a rather severe headache, it was at this stage the sense

of pain left me, after which it seemed to me there was an interval between
the perception that the pain had given and that feeling of satisfaction
which always follows sudden relief from suffering, and my mind began to
busy itself with definitions of pleasure and pain ; but this mood quickly
changed to one of extreme self-confidence — recklessness as to every other
consideration but that of having plenty of Nitrous oxide, and a general
feeling of contempt for all metaphysical questions whatever. Ideas rushed
in a disordered current through my mind, and delirium set in. It is at the
commencement of this stage that the mind loses the power of discriminat-
ing between the appropriate and the ridiculous, and is preternaturally sus-
ceptible of receiving and being influenced by suggestions from without ;
and it is on the ideas and actions now initiated that the delicious intoxica-
tion turns. The ideas seem, as it were, to expand beyond the recognition
of the mind, which at this point in its disordered activity also seems to vault
over that interval which, in its normal condition, it recognizes to exist be-
tween the wish and its realization. Automatic acts succeed each other, or
are repeated with great rapidity, and are performed in an exaggerated
manner, the subject of the experiment shouting and gesticulating with the
greatest vehemence should he wish to communicate any, even the most
trivial thing, and often repeating the last word of a sentence many times,
and each time in a louder key. I have endeavored to arrest the action
of the gas in all stages of its operation, with a view of analyzing, if possible,
the state of mind indicated by the confident belief that a great discovery
has been made. When it is considered with what avidity the gas is in-
spired, and that it is necessary that the inhalation should be discontinued
at the very moment when the enjoyment it is affording is at its height, and
when all sense of prudence and responsibility seems to be annihilated, it
will be understood how great are the difficulties in the way of success in
such an attempt. On account of the delirium which always accompanies
this condition I could never be 'certain, on recovering from the effects of
the gas, that I had not passed through a short stage of unconsciousness,
nor that the idea my mind had grasped, as being the last that had passed
through it, was indeed the last. In the milder forms of delirium it has
seemed to me as though consciousuess kept ebbing and flowing. I feel
sure, however, that in some instances I have been able to secure the re-
ceding thought and to retain it until the momentary confusion of mind had
passed off". Two such instances I will describe. On one occasion I wanted
to find out how much gas was being consumed in the experiment, and im-
pressed on my mind the exceeding desirableness of learning this. On
emerging from the state of delirium I found myself with uplifted band in
the act of striking my knee, to impress upon my memory the fact that I
had refilled the inhaling bag ; and I fancied that I either had shouted, or
was upon the point of doing so, in a triumphant voice, "I have filled it
again." The act by which I sought to emphasize the important observa-
tion was a repetition of a blow I had already given my knee, as there was
still some feeling of it left, and I thought that it was due to this that I had
so suddenly awaked to perfect consciousness. I found that I really had
turned the key to admit more of the gas into the bag. Had I not came to
myself at that moment, I have no doubt that in the next this trivial occur-
rence would have been magnified beyond recognition, and have left the
feeling that I had discovered the secret of the universe. The second time,
returning clearness of intellect found me vociferating, in a most trium-
phant tone of voice, and each time I fancied in a higher key, " Off, off,
NITROGENIUM OXYGENATUM. 51
off." Id this case the predominant idea, before the commencement of the
experiment, had been that I should notice how, and in what time, I passed
off into unconsciousness. Again, to show how susceptible to suggestion the
miud becomes under the influence of Nitrous oxide, and how it takes up
and exaggerates any activity, whether bodily or mental, and how great
the tendency is to dwell on and intensify any process of thought or series
of automatic acts, I may describe how I was affected by the gas on other
occasions. I respired it standing, to notice whether this position would in
any way incite to bodily activity. As soon as I felt the influence of the
gas stealing over me I commenced gesticulating, and immediately notfced
a strong tendency to repeat the same movements, which, though at first
wholly voluntary, soon became automatic in character, and required an
effort to stop them. Commencing to shuffle about my feet as if dancing,
I quickly found myself going through the steps of a Scotch reel, the only
dance I ever properly learned, and which I believed I had forgotten.
Each step was made with more alacrity than the one before, uutil I fouud
it impossible to maintain any degree of accurate adaptation of the inhaler
to my face, and then the feelings of exhilaration died away. On almost
immediately resuming the inhalation in the sitting posture, however, I
passed into the delirious stage in a few seconds. I have found that, by
imitating the contortious of face attendant upon crying or laughing, I can
at will, at a certain stage in the operation of Nitrous oxide, induce a most
uncontrollable paroxysm of either. The general propensity to laughter, I
have thought, might be attributable, in some measure at least, to the fact
that when the inhalation has been continued a certain length of time, con-
vulsive contractions of the diaphragm always occur, which would, of course,
initiate one very important movement in the automatic series accompany-
ing laughter. The sense of hurry and tumultuous rushing of ideas
through the mind may be exaggerated by, if it is not, in a great degree,
due to, the furious panting which is commonly observed before delirium
sets in,17. — He found that ne could breathe nine quarts of Nitrous oxide
for three minutes, and twelve quarts for rather more than four ; but that
he could never breathe it, in any quantity, so long as ^ve minutes. When-
ever its operation was carried to the highest extent, the pleasurable thrilling,
at its height about the middle of the experiment, gradually diminished, the
sense of pressure on the muscles was lost, impressions ceased to be per-
ceived, vivid ideas passed rapidly through the mind, and voluntary power
was altogether destroyed, so that the mouthpiece generally dropped from
bis unclosed lips. When he breathed from six to seven quarts, muscular
motions were produced to a great extent ; sometimes he manifested his
pleasure by stamping or laughing ; at other times by dancing round the
room and vociferating,6. — I put myself into the hands of the deutist one
morning after my breakfast, and, after inhaling the gas for the average
time, soon became insensible ; that is, to physical pain ; but my mental
tortures, during that short period, were hevond endurance. It was a
nightmare of the mind, pure and simple, in which no earthly objects took
part. I was like Blake, or any other madman you might name, trying in
that exquisitely painful moment to solve the insoluble and grasp the illim-
itable ; I was now endeavoring to conceive what lay beyond all space,
and now trying to realize the condition of nothing. Then came a spiral
winding from an infinite distance into a point, when I exclaimed to myself,
"I can bear it no longer; I am going mad," and at that instant I awoke.
I was perfectly collected, asked if the tooth was out, and declared that I

had felt no pain. I rose and was about to leave when, being faint, I again
sat down and was placed in a horizontal position. Some brandy was given
me, and in about half an hour I revived. I again rose to leave ; but on
reaching the street-door, I became faint once more, and was obliged to
return. In another hour I was assisted home, a few yards, feeling exceed-
ingly ill, and was compelled to lie down again when I reached my study.
Presently I thought I could see a patient who was waiting to consult me ;
but after conversing with him a short time, the faintness again came over
me and I took once more to my couch. This state of things continued for
four or five hours, and was then succeeded by a severe headache, which
lasted for the rest of the day. Next morning I rose very "seedy," as if I
had just come off a sea- voyage, and for a week afterwards was exceedingly
unwell, feeling low and depressed, as if my whole nervous system had re-
ceived a severe shock, which indeed it had,82. — It is curious to remark how
often, as unconsciousness comes on, the ruling idea is one of noise and mo-
tion combined. Some patients think they are seated iu or running after
an omnibus; but many more imagine themselves in a railway carriage,
travelling faster and faster, till they suddenly seem to enter a dark tunnel,
and then all is a blank to them. Sensual emotions are not unfrequently
excited in both sexes. A man, who had been married about three months,
stated, on awaking, that he had been dreaming of his wife ; and an un-
married hysterical girl certainly gave evidence, by her movements, that
she was quite aware of one of the duties of married life; and moreover, in
this case, the idea was still present when she was able to speak, for she
addressed the administrator in terms far fonder than the occasion war-
ranted ; while another girl, who had behaved in a similar manner, said,
"I hope I have not said anything naughty," ". — In half a minute the res-
piration became hurried, and the pulse accelerated. In one minute the
pulse had risen from 84 to 110, but was not more compressible than at the
commencement. There was twitching of the eyelids, and he said he felt
jolly, but lazy, and in a longing mood. At the end of two and a half min-
utes he felt numbness in the feet, and hot and flushed about the face and
ears. At three and a half minutes the pulse was 108, tolerably firm ; res-
piration 40. He now cried, in an excited voice, "I have something to ex-
plain— give me some air!" The inhalation was continued altogether seven
minutes, when lividity of the face began to set in. Except a little com-
pression of mind, accompanied by flushing of the face, which continued
about a quarter of an hour, he felt much as usual,**. — [20.] I could not
take one full inspiration of this gas without producing giddiness, and I
could not count after the sixth inspiration. I took twenty inhalations be-
fore losing sensation. I could use my hands and was perfectly conscious,
for I endeavored to push away from the outlet-valve Dr. N.'s finger, as he
was obstructing the passage of inspired air. I then held my nose, and,
after three expirations more, I felt as if all my members were what is
commonly called asleep, especially in the right arm, in which the circu-
lation was accidentally impeded. In two more, I could not see, but could
hear Dr. N. counting, and was conscious of my respiration being hurried
and blowing, but not troubling me. I then lost all sensation, and experi-
enced a most singular feeling of elevation (as if I was in rapid motion in
the air). I could not now control my pharyngeal muscles, so that air
passed through my nostrils. I recovered almost instantly, but had trouble
in talking, my words coming thick and throaty. I have since taken the
gas several times, and experienced the same pleasurable sensations, only

occurring more rapidly. Two inspirations of the gas (purified) are suffi-
cient to thicken my voice and cause dizziness. After the sixth oreighth,
I know nothing. Three inspirations caused the peculiar feelings in the
periphery, which I supposed due to the arrest of capillary circulation.
When the tube dropped from my mouth, I sat as in a trance for half a
minute, making no respiratory effort, when all of a sudden I was told that
I began to smile and to expire the contents of my lungs at the same instant.
I was conscious of smiling, but did not know whether I expired or inspired
air after the tube dropped from my hands,21. — Palpitation of heart; after-
wards felt and heard in head ; then giddiness ; then rapid rush of thoughts
through the mind ; loss of muscular power ; then unconsciousness, with
dilated pupils and livid face ; woke as from a dream, but could not remem-
ber what the thoughts were about ; felt rather faint ; slight headache and
nausea ; face covered wilh perspiration,84. — He found that he was more ir-
ritable and restless than usual ; that he slept less, and previous to sleep the
mind was long occupied by visible imagery. Appetite and pulse were not
materially affected, though there were uneasy feelings about the pnecordia
analogous to the sickness of hope,5. — After the giddiness, rapid rush of
thoughts through the mind ; afterwards unconsciousness ; woke as from a
dream, but could not remember what the thoughts were about,84. — From
three to four quarts was the usual dose. It sometimes produced slight
vertigo, and a feeling of languor ; these, however, went off in a few min-
utes, and, in about a quarter of an hour, the pulse was usually lowered
from 8 to 12 beats in a minute; in one instance from 120 to 108; in
another from 104 to 96. The heat of the body was at the same time
raised ; a thermometer placed between the shoulders rose, in one instance,
from 92° to 96° ; in another from 94° to 98°, but never beyond 98°. The
hands and feet, which were generally cold, glowed ; and the face, which
was usually of purple or leaden hue, assumed the natural appearance,16. —
On April 16th, Dr. Kinglake being accidentally present, I breathed three
quarts of Nitrous oxide, from and into a silk bag, for more thau half a
minute, without previously closing my nose or exhausting my lungs. The
first inspiration occasioned a slight degree of giddiness, which was suc-
ceeded by an uncommon sense of fulness in the head, accompanied with
loss of distinct sensation and voluntary power — a feeling analogous to that
produced in the first stage of intoxication, but unattended by pleasurable
sensation. Dr. Kinglake, who felt my pulse, informed me that it was
rendered quicker and fuller,1. — Attacks of fainting, which began with a
feeling of oppression at the chest, and rolling upwards and to the left of
both eyes; the loss of consciousness which followed was so complete as to
be unaffected by the usual restoratives; during the attack, respiration slow
but regular ; heart's action was at first normal, but gradually became slow
and irregular, until almost imperceptible; pulsation could not be detected
in the temporal arteries ; face, which was at first of a natural color, became
livid, with blue lips, and dark rings around the eyes ; pupils dilated and
insensible to light ; attacks lasted from ten to twenty minutes ; the return
to consciousness was- accompanied with much mental anxiety, and followed
by despair and silent weeping ; the interval between the attacks was never
longer than five minutes (second day),88. — When about to leave, became
faint; after reviving, became faint again on reaching the street-door; after
being assisted home, feeling exceedingly ill, was again compelled to lie
down ; then, on conversing a short time, the faintness again came over
bim, and he took once more to his couch. This state of things continued
54 NITROGENIUM OXYGENATUM.
for four, or five hours,". — The turns of faintness were succeeded by a severe
headache, which lasted the rest of the day,81. — The feelings were different
from those I had experienced in former experiments. After the first six
or seven inspirations, I gradually began to lose the perception of external
things, and a vivid and intense recollection of some former experiment
passed through my mind, so that I called out, " What an amazing concentra-
tion of ideas!" I had no pleasurable feeling whatever; I used no muscu-
lar motion, nor did I feel any disposition to it; after a minute, when I
made the note of the experiment, all the uncommon sensations had van-
ished ; they were succeeded by a slight soreness in one of the arms and in
the leg ; in three minutes these affections likewise disappeared,'. — [30.]
He remained perfectly quiet for nearly a minute, and when asked how he
felt, said he was drowsy, and just going to sleep. He was told that he
must keep awake. When he had respired the gas for nearly two minutes,
and seemed indisposed to activity of any kind, he was told, in a loud voice,
to get up, and asked if he was not ready to dance ; at the same time he
was seized by the arm as if to lift him from the chair. He immediately
sprang to his feet, saying he was ready for anything, and began capering
and swinging his arms about as though he had lost all control over his
movements. He came to himself, however, in a few seconds, looked be-
wildered, and said he remembered nothing from the first few seconds after
the commencement of the inhalation,*5. — In the concentrated form it pro-
duces anaesthesia in so rapid and agreeable a manner, that there is only
time to remark that the gas has a pleasant taste and odor ; that it causes
a sense of dimness to pass before the eyes, and gives rise to a sound as of
rushing water in the ears, when all consciousness and power of volition are
annihilated. The outward signs of its action, as seen by a spectator, do
not make quite so agreeable an impression on the mind, for with the com-
mencement of anaesthesia lividity of the face sets in. The muscles lose
their tonicity ; the jaws and lips fall asunder; the head droops, and the
face assumes a besotted aspect. Generally, loud snoring accompanies in-
spiration, when the anaesthesia is very profound, though this is not always
the case. When an unusually large quantity of the gas has been inhaled
to produce anaesthesia, or when the gas has been in the slightest degree di-
luted with common air, convulsions may occur affecting the muscular sys-
tem generally, though it is more common for only the muscles of one limb
to be affected. Jf r. Fox has noticed that violent twitchings often occur
when young children are made to inhale the gas. The intermediate signs
are, that the breathing becomes quicker in about twenty seconds after the
commencement of inhalation ; at the end of a minute, however, it becomes
smaller again and less frequent. Complete anaesthesia is sometimes pro-
duced in less than a minute, but in the majority of cases the inhalation
must be continued a minute and a half. When the administration is dis-
continued, recovery very rapidly takes place, the first feelings being like
those one has on being suddenly awakened from an agreeable sleep ; and
on rising from the chair there is, for a moment or two, a feeling of un-
steadiness, together with slight confusion of ideas, and a tendency to stam-
mering in speech. It is very rarely that any disagreeable after-effects are
complained of,*8. — The first inspiration, and, I may say, the first contact of
the gas with the pulmonary membrane, produced a general sensation of
numbness somewhat like sleepiness. On the second inspiration the sensa-
tion of numbness was decided ; I seemed to see a gauze vibrating before the
vision, similar to that observed from the influence of chloroform. On the
NITROGENIUM OXYGENATUM. 55
third inspiration the numbness had made rapid progress, but intelligence
remained, with perfect freedom of movement. I pricked my hand with a
pin and found that sensibility was considerably diminished. After the
fourth inspiration, J began to be separated from the external world ; ideas
were vague and exalted, yet I was quite able to prick my hand with a pin,
but did not experience any sensation therefrom; the loss of sensibility,
however, was not complete ; I was conscious of contact like that of a blunt
instrument ; the gauze before the eyes was white and very brilliant, and
the vibrations were very rapid, resembling persistent phosphorescence ; I
continued to assist in the experiment of which I was the subject. On the
fifth inspiration I lost consciousness and fell into a profound sleep without
troubled dreams ; during this the inhaler was removed from my mouth
without my being conscious of it, and after remaining in this condition for
half an hour, I came to myself; the numbness disappeared very rapidly
after inhaling pure air. After four or five inspirations the forehead was
covered with perspiration. After the experiment I walked two kilometers
without fatigue, and had a very good appetite ; I had lost none of my ac-
tivity during the remainder of the walk, only at night I felt more fatigued
than usual,1 . — After the third or fourth inspiration I experienced a heavi-
ness of the head and a little general muscular fatigue. My vision was
affected, and objects placed in front of me seemed to have a constant in-
distinct motion. After one or two more inspirations I experienced a noise
like that of a railroad train passing through a tunnel ; at this moment my
consciousness was perfect ; I was still master of my will, although feebly
so ; I noticed that I was not lying straight upon the couch, and by a vol-
untary movement I rectified the position of my limbs. Immediately after
this my vision disappeared, and I completely lost consciousness, but for an
instant only I was able to analyze my sensations; I seemed more lucid and
exalted, as if separated from the world. This state seemed to last for some
seconds. When under the influence of a new inspiration of the gas, I lost
all recollection, and seemed to pass into a state of sleep. I was afterwards
conscious of a noise in my ears, and of a vague impression of something
touching my tooth, not at all resembling pain. On inspiring atmospheric
air I returned to myself, without excitement, and the recollection of the
whole experiment was agreeable rather than painful,19. — The feelings ex-
perienced during each stage of the operation of the gas, up till the power
of communicating them failed him, were described as they occurred, and
written down at the time. He first felt a difficulty in moving the extensors
of the left arm, then the flexors became affected in like manner. The feel-
ing next spread to the right arm and hand, and immediately afterwards to
the lower extremities, and there was a sense of tingling all over the body,
accompanied by a sort of vibrating agitation of the muscles generally. He
then said, with great emphasis, " Intoxication," and ceased further commu-
nicating his feelings, though he seemed to know and be able to appreciate
what was taking place about him. There seemed no disposition to laughter.
He soon fell into a partly anaesthetic condition; but on an attempt being
made to touch the conjunctiva, he seemed to be roused to perfect conscious-
ness again, and tried to remove the face-piece, saying he had something to
tell us. Inhalation was then discontinued ; he had breathed the gas a
little over two minutes. He imagined that he had made a very important
discovery, showing the manner in which Nitrous oxide acted, but on en-
deavoring to recall it no trace of it remained, beyond a confident feeling
that such a discovery had flashed across his mind,*8. — Whole body throbs

after the paroxysms of serai-unconsciousness,80. — She seemed to herself to
pass through a dream,86. — Spells of semi-consciousness, preceded by a numb
feeling in head, spreading thence over the body ; she falls backwards to the
ground ; if she can get to the open air the spells are postponed, but are all
the harder when they do come ; when busy at her worts they will not ap-
pear, but as soon as she goes to bed, or sits down unoccupied, she is at once
attacked ; partially conscious; knows she is sick, but cannot help herself;
like one in nightmare ; afterwards her whole body throbs,80. — Complete
loss of consciousness, and a kind of ecstasy, with violent- involuntary mus-
cular movements,18. — On April 17th, having previously closed my nostrils
and exhausted my lungs, I breathed four quarts of the gas from and into
a silk bag. The first feelings were similar to those produced in the last
experiment; but in less than half a minute, the respiration being continued,
they diminished gradually, and were succeeded by a sensation analogous
to gentle pressure in all the muscles, attended by a highly pleasurable
thrilling, particularly in the chest and in the extremities. The objects
around me became dazzling, and my hearing more acute. Towards the
last inspirations, the thrilling increased, the sense of muscular power be-
came greater, apd, at last, an irresistible propensity to action was indulged
in ; I recollect but indistinctly what followed ; I know that my motions
were various and violent. These effects very soon ceased after the respira-
tion of the gas. In ten minutes I had recovered my natural state of mind.
The thrilling in the extremities continued longer than the other sensations.
This experiment was made in the morning ; no languor or exhaustion was
consequent ; my feelings throughout the day were as usual, and I passed
the night in undisturbed repose. The next morning the recollection of the
effects of the gas was very indistinct ; and had not remarks written imme-
diately after the experiment recalled them to my mind, I should even
have questioned their reality,1. — [40.] The first marked effect is a quicken-
ing of respiratory movements, which effect continually increases up to the
period of insensibility. In some cases the breathing is very rapid and
laborious, two or three inspirations being made per second. Another effect,
that seems to be common to all cases, is that during the period of uncon-
sciousness, so called, there is left scarcely more than a bare idea of exist-
ence ; all other ideas seem to be obliterated. Another common effect is,
that before the period of unconsciousness there is a confusion of ideas. The
appearance of a person who has become unconscious from the inhalation
of Nitrous oxide is evidently that of asphyxia or suffocation. The counte-
nance assumes a leaden hue ; the eyes lose their lustre and have, instead,
a vacant stare," — The phenomena usually observed in the human subject
when the gas is inhaled are as follows: when it has been inspired two or
three times, there is an increase in the force and frequency of the pulse. In
about twenty seconds, if the breathing has been steady and regular to begin
with, it is also noticed to increase in frequency. This, however, from the
commencement is often irregular, shallow, and rapid, from the nervous con-
dition of the patient. In about thirty seconds, the patient's color begins
to turn livid. When the gas has been continued for about one minute the
pulse is almost invariably noticed to fall in force and frequency, the breath-
ing is often labored, sometimes stertorous, though I have several times seen
cases where it became feebler until the expiring valve was hardly raised ;*
it was then either the case that the patient was completely anaesthetized,
or, if not, the breathing commenced to improve in character. In the ma-
jority of cases, in one minute and thirty seconds the patient is over. This
NITROGENIUM OXYGENATUM. 57
is known by different signs, — the one which is least open to mistake is a
sudden change in the patient's appearance, which is difficult to describe,
but readily recognized ; another is a nervous twitching of the hands. It
is not by any means necessary to carry the administration the length of
this in every case, but when it is present for a few seconds the patient is
quite insensible. In one case to which I gave the gas, this muscular twitch-
ing affected the whole body, resembling almost an epileptic convulsion ;
the patient was quite unconscious. It occasionally happens about the
period of the removal of the face-piece that the pulse intermits a beat or
two, and I have repeatedly seen the breathing stop, during a period equal
to four or five respirations, at the time when the operation .was commenced.
It is very curious, and a fact which I have not seen noticed by others, that
the hearing remains acute frequently after the other senses are in abey-
ance; thus patients are able to repeat remarks made in their presence
after they are apparently unconscious, and one young lady was able to
repeat a hasty remark, made by the operator, Mr. Warwick Hele, when a
tooth broke under the forceps, although she did not feel its subsequent re-
moval,'and the observation was made in so low a voice that I did not catch
what it was, though I was standing beside him. There often exists con-
siderable muscular rigidity during the latter stages of the administration.
In thirty-seven cases, the time taken to produce insensibility was as follows :
Up to 1 minute, inclusive, 9
41 1 " 20 seconds, inclusive, 17
« 1 " 40 " " 6
" 2 minutes— " " 6
«« 2 " 20 " " 1
•
The shortest time was forty-five seconds, the longest two minutes thirteen
seconds. Recovery is usually rapid and complete, the patient waking up
as from a sleep. But it does sometimes happen, usually in young ladies
between the ages of fourteen and twenty, that there is an intermediate stage
between that of complete unconsciousness and recovery, when some excite-
ment is exhibited, such as tossing about restlessly in the chair and weep-
ing, they, on recovery, being generally very much surprised to find them-
selves so doing. Out of the above-mentioned cases, we have noted seven
to have been affected in this manner in a greater or less degree; three com-
plained of slight giddiness or faintness, and one was a little sick. One
patient, a boy, urinated, his father having declined to indulge his expressed
wish to do it before the operation. In several cases the removal of teeth
was felt, but unattended with pain. The longest period during which we
have noticed a patient to be insensible is one minute. In regard to the
sensations experienced by patients, the majority are able only to say that
they have been unconscious, save that they have been asleep and dreaming,
the dreams being often pleasant, sometimes more like nightmare; and
lastly, some complain that they have had considerable annoyance from
rushing or singing noises in the head. One little girl was immensely
E leased with it; she said that "she felt as if she was being tickled all over."

operation, but it does not seem to be connected with any particular form of

shoulder and knee-joints, which had not been previously felt for many
months. Though much relieved of the pains, noticed when the effects were
passing off, a momentary recurrence of rheumatic pains, not felt for some
time before, and that a yellow area, caused by a leechbite, became, during

— * Unusually lively, laughing and bright, in the forenoon,82. — Felt foolishly
happy, but could not talk ; had no desire to talk (first evening),85. — Every-
thing provokes laughter, quite contrary to habit ; this was especially notice-
able on'going into the open air. He stood still upon the street, made fool-
ish gestures ; between the attacks he sank into absence of mind, and on
collecting himself everything about him seemed ludicrous. During this he
looked foolish and childish, like an idiot. On being brought into the house
he became somewhat better (first day),8. — I took a broken nutmeg and put
it in my pocket, and in the course of six hours, I had eaten half a one.
Soon after I felt a dizziness and an unaccountable derangement of intellect,
transient loss of memory, but a perfect consciousness of all that I said or did ;
I became remarkably loquacious, and seemed to be neither in this world
nor the other ; I felt happy and free from any pain ; I was truly in an in-
describable state ; I felt as I supposed one might feel that had been mag-
netized; my friends were greatly alarmed, and the doctor was sent for in
great haste ; bleeding was proposed, but as I thought I knew at least as
much as any one, I was not willing to be bled ; after keeping them laugh-
ing and crying till about 11 o'clock at night, I retired to bed, without
anything having been done for me ; I woke in the morning, and was as
well as usual, haviug never been sick a day in my life. Since this occurred,
several case£ have come to my knowledge in which persons having eaten
nutmegs, were affected in the same way that I had been. Had I eaten a
little more, I have no doubt it would have proved fatal, as I learn it has
done in other cases,88. — He seemed to himself to be remarkably lively, with
constant throngs of joyous fancies, and he managed to see something ludi-

sation, as though she were going to die, with no fear, however, being per-
fectly at ease in mind, and free from pain or any suffering ; felt happy and
unconcerned ; sensation was not complete ; faculties undisturbed up to this
time, save in the expression of her ideas ; knew all that was transpiring
about her, but could not express herself clearly (ideas muddled, tongue
thick, with coldness commencing in lower limbs),76. — Indifferent mood

* While writing he omitted letters, wrote in different alphabets against his will,
and changed from one subject to another (after six hours),1/!" — The words he
employed to express his sensations remarkable for their merit of being the
opposite to what he should have used; on the third day his thoughts
hardly submitted themselves to his control, unless by a consciously great
effort,60. — Many ridiculous or extravagant acts or expressions, like idiocy,
while she seemed perfectly conscious, and at the next moment would ap-
pear chagrined at her conduct, and said she could not control her actions ;
^disposition to laugh or jest at everything ; stupid look for a moment; change-

thoughts in his mind when everything vanished ; the other part could be
recalled only with difficulty, or frequently not at all ; was first obliged to
rest; commenced to write anew, but could write only a single word, when
he had to stop and collect his thoughts (first day),1.! — Dizziness and van-
ishing of thought, and on forcibly arousing himself, he is first obliged to
collect his thoughts,6. — * While reading he gradually sinks into absence of
mind, which passes into sleep (after three hours),1. — ^Before he could answer
a question he was obliged to wait awhile and collect his thoughts; frequently in
spite of everything he was unable to give a suitable answer immediately; a
kind of slowness of ideas (after five hours),1. — *He staggered when walking,
and when reflecting his mind ran upon one idea until all at once he woke from
complete abstraction, and was obliged to colled his thoughts before he knew
where he was (after five hours),1. — * Absence of mind, cannot think; great
indifference to everything ; scalp very much stretched; he laid down at noon
to sleep for half an hour, but slept soundly for four hours ; before falling

sence of mind (first day),*. — After about an hour he was seized with drow-
siness, that gradually increased to complete stupor and insensibility, and
not long afterwards he was found fallen from his chair, lying on the floor
of his chamber in the state mentioned ; being laid in bed he fell asleep,
woke a little from time to time, when he was quite delirious ; he thus con-
tinued alternately delirious and sleeping for several hours ; by degrees
these symptoms diminished, so that in about six hours from the time of
taking the nutmeg he had pretty well recovered. Although he still com-
plained of headache and was somewhat delirious, he slept naturally, and
the next day was quite well,,l."f" — From eating three nutmegs, after a mod-
erate dinner, he is taken with unconquerable desire "to sleep ; he passes the
afternoon in delirioua slumber, with pleasant, peaceful dreams ; at half
past 5 o'clock he went to the theatre, which was at some distance; the way
seemed to have no end ; he has perfect control over his limbs, but is lost
each moment in fanciful images, from which he has to tear himself away,
with great energy, in order to continue on his way. Although he was, at
times, quite unconscious, his limbs did not fail to do their service ; he went
straight on, without recognizing the streets that crossed his way; he was
most concerned about the time; he feared to come too late, but came to the
theatre much earlier than he thought ; during the entire play, fancy and
reality battled with each other,44. — It surely possesses narcotic and stupe-

(after four hours), felt the blood rush to ray head, but the feeling was as
if an electric current had passed from the crown of the head downwards ;
I made an effort and got mechanically downstairs ; I then felt the same
sensation which I suppose a person would experience who had become
nearly insensible from extreme cold, and that, if I yielded myself to its in-
fluence, I could have slept away out of existence without pain ; I felt this
sensation twice; in a few minutes a cold shiver came upon me; from that
time I felt every variety of heat and cold from their respective extremes ;
at every time the blood went from and returned to my head the current
changed the sensation, sometimes feeling myself very hot, and the next very
cold, but never the same sensation ; I felt at one time such a pressure in
the head that it appeared as if all the blood in the body had rushed to ob-
tain possession of that region, and I thought I could hear it gushing iu my
ears; these symptoms became gradully weaker,60. — *Head throbbed,90. —

rior portion of the right knee, as if it were grasped by some one, a kind
of constriction,1. — Could scarcely reach his home on account of terrible
pains in both legs, in the part from the knees down to the ankles, confined
to the shins : this pain increased so much during the afternoon that he
could hardly walk through the room ; he says it feels as though the "bone

it; this tingling was felt in every position, and was reproduced by stepping
upon the foot (second and fifth days),6.
Generalities* — Convulsions caused by large doses,18. — Throughout
the entire night the patient passed from oue convulsive state, hereinbefore
described, into another, which nothing short of anaesthesia would control.
The same difficulty of trying to get the patient to swallow medicine was
met with, and it was only after the effect of chloroform was obtained that
anything could be gotten down her throat,70. — After twitching of the limbs
burning at the umbilicus, with restlessness and lassitude ; she had to lie down,
and fell asleep ; on awaking, the burning at the umbilicus is gone, but she
now has burning in the chest ; with it very irritable and vexed (after half
a day),M. — [480.] Considerable prostration (second day),64.! — Was very
prostrate and weak, could scarcely lift a hand,76. — The patient manifested
evident symptoms of sinking ; she would lie completely relaxed, breathing
so faintly as to be scarcely audible, and almost pulseless ; accordingly I dis-
continued the chloroform and resorted to stimulants, with a view to re-
establish reaction ; during these sinking spells the lower and upper ex-
tremities became very cold and clammy; a few drops of liquor ammonia
in water, and an application of the same to the nostrils, promptly restored
her to a semi-conscious state, which would soon be followed by a return of
the spasmodic condition of the previous night, though not quite so severe ;
at 10 a.m., the patient swooned completely away, and lay to all appear-
ances dead ; this occurred after another application of chloroform ; feeling
somewhat alarmed, I hastily elevated the foot of her bed, placing a chair
beneath, thus elevating the feet, with the head downward, inclined at an
angle of about 35°. I began using brisk friction, and set to work to re-
store the circulation, which appeared to be completely suspended, and
made efforts at artificial respiration, at the same time ordered the ammo-
nia to be applied to the nostrils; after the lapse of twenty minutes or
thereabouts, the patient manifested signs of returning consciousness ; this
was followed almost immediately by retching and vomiting, and the patient
threw up a pint of green bilious fluid, containing particles of undigested
food, such as beef, potatoes, and a quantity of dark-mottled particles look-
ing like coffee-grounds, which, upon inspection, proved to be some of the
nutmeg which she had eaten the day before; from this time recovery
dates,76.— (Anxiety over the whole body, with inclination to tremble),11. —

found myself obliged to catch hold of trees and fence, . — Attempted to
get into bed, which was accomplished with much difficulty; rather tumbled
than got into bed, feeling much exhausted from her efforts to undress,76. —
Reeled and stumbled, while walking (first evening),64. — [490.] Went to
bed feeling perfectly well, but could not account for my strange feelings on
awaking; was painfully conscious, however, of some powerful influence
exerting itself upon my system, but as to cause could get no intelligible
clue. Great languor and drowsiness, with no desire to move; felt unwieldy
as a mass of metal ; all bodily energy lapsing into passive suppleness in
the clutch of the unseen giant,66. — First, eructation, then lassitude, which

the patient ; this is followed by palpitation of the heart, with difficulty of
breathing,76. — Wandering burrowing-pressive pains always, in only small
circumscribed spots, as if in the bones, in the forehead, eyebrows, upper
arms, tibiae, etc. (They resembled a pinching pain, that increased and de-
creased in waves), (soon),*. — Slight pressive wanderingpains in various

wards the forehead (first day),8. — There was considerable running to and
fro by different members of the family, all of which tended to annoy and
excite her greatly,78. — She asked to be left alone, as the rubbing or touch-
ing any portion of her body annoyed her very much,78. — General uneasi-

withdrawn,76. — All symptoms relieved within an hour by a dose of Nux
vomica*. — The symptoms, especially of the head, occur particularly after
breakfast (of bread and milk), though also after eating at other times of
the day,1. — In large doses it causes an absolute insensibility of the nervous
system, obtuseness, immobility, loss of reason for its direct action, and
headache and sleep for its secondary action,67. — The effect of some brandy
was as if I had been electrified, from the mouth downwards, in a straight
line, and dying off towards the feet ; it then seemed to diffuse itself over
the whole body ; the state of my body generally felt as if I had hold of
slightly galvanized wires, the wires apparently working in antagonistic
directions, out of time and keeping; like, in fact, so many connecting-rods
working from eccentrics out of truth, and jarring against each other,80.
Skin* — At the border of the left jaw a large pustule,*0. — (Boils on the

sensation was felt, which gradually increased, so that after fifteen minutes
it became very unpleasant, and on being touched the reddened spot caused
much pain ; after thirty minutes the moistened spot was red ; it burned
like a sinapism when the 6kin is moderately reddened ; upon being washed
the burning sensation disappeared within an hour; the epidermis did not
scale off. In a second experiment with another individual the symptoms
were much slighter, the burning appeared only after ten minutes, and be-
came rather strong after another ten minutes ; the hand being then washed,

minute there was a pause, during which the child breathed with great ex-
ertion and in a catching manner ; desired coffee ; but on attempting to
swallow lukewarm water he was again seized by a tetanic spasm ; after
awhile the pulse became 102, spasmodic, and irregular; the spasms were
renewed whenever the lips touched the cup or whenever any one touched
his person ; even a noise caused a recurrence of the spasms, which some-
times occurred without apparent cause ; after the paroxysms the eyes were
usually closed ; the forehead and face covered with perspiration ; cheeks
and lips blue; he groaned aloud without complaining of any special pain ;
afterwards the pulse became slightly irregular and soft; during all the
paroxysms, even until death, the mind remained unclouded,70. — Complete
trismus and tetanus ; the jaws were tightly clenched, and the lower jaw
moved spasmodically from side to side ; the arms were cramped towards
the chest ; the thighs drawn up against the abdomen ; the fingers and toes
flexed, with whining and groaning ; loss of voice ; anaesthesia of the skin,
and no pain," — Every two or three minutes she was shaken by a convul-
sive spasm, but it was only momentary,51. — [1200.] The whole body was
seized with symptoms of complete and violent tetanus ; the jaws being
firmly locked and the limbs rigidly extended ; aggravated at intervals by
violent convulsive movements,44. — When lying on the sofa was seized with
a most curious feeling from head to feet, as if his whole body inside the
skin (brain included) was made of finest threads; it felt something like
numbness, and the ecstatic feeling after a mutual and warm embrace ; it

turned in slighter degrees up to to-day (thirteenth day),18. — A tetanic
paroxysm came on suddenly ; the man was thrown into a state of opisthot-
onos; all his muscles becoming rigid, and respiration for the time sus-
pended. The fit lasted about half a minute, when the muscles became
relaxed, and be was again able to answer questions (after nearly one
hour),68. — Well-marked opisthotonos, the spasms increasing and affecting
respiration, which at one time appeared to cease ; patient knew when the
spasms were coming on, saying, "It's coming on ;" and there was a sense of
impending death, and he said, "Good-bye, Ira dying." Ice was immedi-
ately applied along the spine, and the spasms abated in severity. The in-
termissions were distinct (after one hour and a half). Spasms are brought
on by touching the patient (after two hours and a quarter),84. — Awoke in
a spasm, uttering loud cries; on the cessation of spasm, fainted. On com-
ing to himself, the first drop of water that touched his tongue induced a
violent spasm, with loud shrieks and complete opisthotonos. In two hours
and a half, had nine spasmodic attacks, more or less severe. The last of
these, which seemed to be induced by the application of a cup to the lips,
was very intense and prolonged. The patient started suddenly up in bed,
his whole frame being in a state of complete rigidity. The limbs were
rigid, and the fingers clenched. During the spasms, evident relief was
afforded by forcible extension of the body. In the intervals there were
constant twitches of the extremities,68. — Permanent opisthotonos took place,
and in this condition the girl remained until her death, which took place
probably about seven hours after the poison was taken,68. — She had violent
spasmodic contractions of the voluntary muscles, but more especially of the
limbs, with extreme pain in all the parts affected. The spasm was at times
continued during three or four minutes, and then succeeded by some quick
change of position or long succession of convulsive motions. The muscles
of the back were so much affected by spasm as almost to render it a case
of opisthotonos. Finding it impossible to retain her in ber chair, she was
placed upon a bed and preserved in that position from local injury,48. —
Marked convulsive fits. Five strong tetanic convulsions. Extremities
stretched out ; hands grasping firmly the sides of the bed ; legs apart ; feet
everted (after half an hour). A severe tetanic convulsion, involving nearly
all the muscles of the body and extremities. Chest fixed ; respiration dif-
ficult ; body bent backward (opisthotonos). This was followed by an in-
terval of rest and relaxation of all the muscles, but the patient seemed to
be much prostrated. Slight convulsive starts and twitchings of hands and
feet followed at various intervals. After this attack the patient became so
sensitive that the slightest touch or movement of the bed, or a sudden noise,
would cause a spasmodic jerking of the whole body,83. — Violent convul-
sions,47.— Convulsions, which ceased for a time, and then reappeared, and
presented especially, first nervous excitement, and then violent spasmodic
contraction of the jaws, with grinding of the teeth, bending backwards of
the head, rigidity of the trunk, forcible extension and inversion of the feet,
and subsultus of the muscles of the calves of the legs (after five minutes),8*.
— [1210.] Convulsive attacks, lasting from one to two minutes, in which
all the muscles became extremely rigid; jaws tightly closed ; patient very
restless, with short cries,47. — Convulsions,12. — Convulsive tossing about of
the arms ; bending backward of the head ; biting the teeth tightly together;
the bands were tightly doubled up,18. — Convulsions, with red face and
closed eyes,68. — Half an hour after the last dose, on rising from a chair,
was attacked with vertigo, followed by convulsions of the extremities, relieved

during rest, but renewed by a slight movement ; speech hurried ; while
talking, convulsive contractions of the facial muscles; slight trismus; pale
face ; weak pulse ; head covered with sweat ; the attack lasted an hour and
a half; the patient compared the spasms to electric shocks/8. — Convulsions,
with violent movements of the limbs; distension of the epigastric region ;
staring, shining eyes,™ — After two hours he suddenly became rigid and
lifeless; the toes and feet turned outward; eyes open and staring; jaws
tightly closed*. — Extremely painful muscular contractions, lasting three
or four minutes, and interrupted by a violent spasm ; the body was bent
backward in opisthotonos; the impulse of the heart marked, the pulse
small, scarcely perceptible, only 20 to the minute ; the function of the
brain undisturbed ; in consequence of the spasm affecting the masseter
muscles the patient bit at everything brought near the mouth," — Rigidity
of the muscles of the whole body, as in catalepsy (one of the persons fell
suddenly to the ground while conscious) ; tetanic closure of the jaws,74. —
Tetanic rigidity, with violent, freanently repeated involuntary shuddering
of the trunk and extremities,68. — [1220.] Convulsions came on, beginning
with slight twitches in the muscles of the lower extremities (after half an
hour) ; violent convulsions every few minutes (after one hour),M. — Slight
transient convulsion ; in a few minutes she had another and a more violent
attack, and shortly afterwards another; I should estimate the duration of
these fits at from a minute and a half to two minutes ; in them she retained
her grasp ; her whole body was straightened and stiffened ; her legs pushed
out and forced wide apart; I could not perceive either pulse or respiration;
the face and hands were livid, the muscles of the former, especially of the
lips, violently agitated, and she made constantly a moaning, chattering
noise. I thought she was not unlike one in an epileptic fit, but that she did
not struggle, though as she forced herself straight out, it became difficult
to keep her from falling on the floor; a fourth and most vehement attack
soon followed, in which the whole body was extended to the utmost, and
she was rigidly stiff from head to foot ; insomuch that, with all the force I
chose to exert, I could not bend the thigh on the pelvis to replace her
in her seat ; from this she never recovered ; she fell after it into a state of
asphyxia,48. — Frequently recurring tonic spasms, drawing the body back-
ward, lasting a minute,7. — Stretched on back, frame shaken by frequent
convulsive spasms ; limbs rigidly extended, and head slightly bent back-
wards; the slightest touch brought on a spasm,5*. — Her appearance was
that of one suffering from tetanic couvulsions ; her face was livid ; the
lower extremities extended and widely ; the muscles of the chest rigid and
very hard to touch ; her breathing short and quick ; pulse low and flutter-
ing; pupils dilated; consciousness undisturbed. On attempting to pass
the tube of the stomach-pump, it produced, on coming in contact with the
teeth, a most violent convulsion, and the tetanic state of the whole muscu-
lar system returned from merely tapping any part of the body with the
finger. She was seized, just two hours and a half from the time of taking
the poison, with one of the most awful convulsions it is possible to conceive.
Her face was livid ; teeth clenched ; saliva flowing from the angles of the
mouth ; the eyelids widely separated ; eyes protruded ; the pupils fully di-
lated, so that the whole contour of the face assumed a most horrific aspect ;
the arms were violently agitated ; the muscles of the chest hard aud im-
movable ; breathing suspended ; the pulse not to be felt at the wrist ; the
legs were extended and widely separated, and no effort of mine could either
approximate or bend them ; there was slight opisthotonos ; the fit lasted

about two minutes., when the muscular system relaxed, and she was no
more,50. — Arms spasmodically flexed on the elbows; fingers tightly
clenched, violently pressed against the pit of the stomach ; the abdominal
muscles spasmodically contracted, so that the abdomen felt stony hard,48. —
Head drawn backward, the mouth wide open (opisthotonos alternating
with trismus) ; the tongue was then protruded from the mouth, and was
frequently injured by the sudden closure of the jaws,49. — "Drew her mouth
about, and stretched herself out in all manner of forms, and was stiff"
(soon after ten minutes) ; the spasms continued at intervals; the chest was
fixed, and after the recurrence of such symptoms, increasing in degree, in
about an hour and a quarter, or half, after its administration, death took
place,85. — Shortly afterwards they partook of their tea, and felt no ill effects
for rather more than forty minutes. Dr. T. then rose from his chair to go
into the garden, and proceeded as far as his parlor door when he felt the
first symptoms, and exclaimed, " Hold me! hold me!" Mrs. T. sprung
from her seat and ran to his assistance, but before she got to him, she also,
as she afterwards termed it, " was fixed." The symptoms were most vio-
lent. Dr.T. in convulsive agonies, but perfectly calm and collected. They
were both, as it were, fixed to the chairs in which they sat. The symptoms
in both were exactly similar. As the convulsions came on, the heads were
drawn back, there was a spasmodic clenching of the teeth, the heels fixed
to the ground, and the eyes as if protruding from their sockets, and both,
curiously enough, kept exclaiming, "Hold me! hold me!" although there
was a person on either side of each. Dr. T. afterwards told me "that if I
had set fire to a bundle of straw under him, he did not think he could have
moved," although at the same time he kept crying, "Hold me!"60 — Draw-
ing, crampy pains in the back of the neck, with paroxysms of internal
stiffness and rigidity from the nape downwards ; the paroxysms varied in
intensity ; during the mild attacks the muscles of the neck alone were
affected, when he could walk about and speak freely ; during the more
severe attacks, not only the muscles of the neck but those of the chest and
throat were affected, causing great difficulty of breathing, and a choking
sensation, especially when attempting to swallow anything; also the mus-
cles of the head, and especially of the forehead, causing a contraction of
the eyebrows, and giving him a peculiarly sullen expression of countenance ;
during the most severe attack, all the muscles of the back and legs were
affected, and the entire body became rigid and turned backward ; at times
he was unable to keep his seat on the chair, and when he attempted to get
on his feet he could scarcely stand or move his legs, as the muscles were
so rigid ; each paroxysm lasted from one to two minutes ; he always made
an effort to move about when the attacks came on, and to rest the affected
parts,32. — [1230.] An attack in the evening ; it rose to the heart ; he be-
came sick and apprehensive ; trembled ; was obliged to bend the head for-
ward and rest it upon a table (after four days),1. — An attack after mid-
night ; crawling in the hands and feet, rising with heat into the face, to
the heart (in the pit of the stomach) like a burning and pressure there,
then rising into the throat ; she then became nauseated and apprehensive;
thence it rose into the head, with dulness in the head and ringing in the
ears,1. — A sudden attack soon after dinner; paleness of the face; nausea
rising up from the pit of the stomach ; he became anxious all over, with
trembling and fine beating over the whole body, and increasing weakness,
so that he was obliged to lie down (after eight days),1. — Sudden attack ;

foam issuing from the mouth ; intense action of the dorsal and lumbar
muscles, or opisthotonos; the pulse very feeble, and the heart's action even
scarcely perceptible ; lower jaws firmly locked ; the tongue much injured
and slightly protruding ; in eight or ten minutes from the time of first see-
ing him, he expired gently and without a struggle,50. — Severe rigors,*7. —
Body rigid,61. — Rigors,*8. — They were in great agonies, with violent heat in
stomach and throat, before they fell into convulsions,10. — Occasional gen-
eral convulsions,75. — The convulsions were not of the body, but of the
mouth, face, and extremities,84. — In about half an hour they were all seized
with symptoms of poisoning, and one died soon after in strong convul-
sions,48.— When placed in a sitting posture, his head would fall forward or
backward, or to the shoulder, but when replaced on the pillow he tossed
his head from side to side, accompanied by jactitations of the hands,59. —
[260.] Jactitation, if not convulsions, in almost all,50. — Numbness, nausea,
horrid convulsions, and at last tetanic stiffness, coma, and death ; almost
all died,6*. — The first attacked with symptoms of poisoning was a boy, aged
three years; whilst eating a cake he fell down in convulsions, and was
quite unconscious (after a quarter of an hour) ; he remained this way till
10 o'clock that night, when he died. Immediately afterwards, a little boy,
aged h\e years, and a girl, about the same age (both of whom had had
some of the root), were attacked in the same way. The boy died about 7
o'clock that evening ; the girl recovered. In another house, a girl, aged six
years, was attacked, together with a boy about the same age. The girl
died the next afternoon about 4 o'clock ; the boy recovered. There were
others affected, but in a lesser degree. The signs of poisoning were the same
in all the cases ; about fifteen minutes after eating the root they became
unconscious, and were violently convulsed, at the same time the jaws were
closely locked, the mouth covered with foam, in some cases mixed with a
little blood; the convulsive fits recurred, one after another, with extreme
rapidity, there being scarcely an interval of half a minute between each;
in the case of the girl, who lived nearly a day, there was considerable opis-

thotonoe, or arching of the back, on the second day, which had taken the
place of the violent general convulsions of the previous evening; about
three hours before she died the convulsions ceased altogether ; she, how-
ever, remained in a state of coma till her death ; the other two died in the
convulsions,71. — In one hour, some fell into syncope and convulsions ; one
died before the doctor arrived, two hours after supper ; a second was ex-
piring; a third showed no signs of life but trembling and convulsions.
The activity of the poison was so sudden that I saw two fall into a swoon,
whilst, at perfect ease about themselves, they were busily lavishing atten-
tion upon their sick comrades. Guillaume Trelacheau, a man of strong and
robust constitution, seemed the most hopeless. The upturning of his eyes,
the contraction of his lower jaw, the feebleness of pulse, the inability to
move, feel, or know anything, with a universal chill spread over his
body, seemed to be so many sign3 of death. After vain attempts to give
an emetic, I had him rolled and well shaken in a blanket, by eight men,
for two hours ; he recovered warmth, and then insensibly movement and
life ; the first signs were efforts to vomit, which, aided by the emetic, were
effectual. The vomiting went on for days, take what he would. He fell
asleep for fifteen hours. The third day his tongue was extremely sore and
swollen from biting during the convulsions. He remembered nothing that
had befallen him from the first to the third day of his illness, nor of the cir-
cumstances that bad accompanied, nor those which had caused it,66. — The
eldest sudddenlv fell backwards without any premonitory symptoms, and
lay kicking and sprawling on the ground; his countenance soon turned
very ghastly, and he foamed at the mouth (after four or five hours) ; soon
after, four more were seized in the same way, and they all died before
morning, not one having spoken a word,1. — Terrible convulsions, followed
by tetanic rigidity, coma, and death,6*. — Most violent convulsions and death
in less than an hour from the time of taking the poison. They mangled
their tongues in a shocking manner,44. — Violent convulsions/ solely affect-
ing the flexors throughout the body,0. — Violently convulsed, and in the
space of one hour was a corpse,88. — Strongly and repeatedly convulsed, and
appeared to be hastening into an apoplectic condition ; death in a quarter
of an hour,*. — [270.] Dreadfully convulsed for some hours, and died in
the most excruciating agony,41. — Very severe convulsions, which, in about
fifteen minutes, deprived him of his senses, and continued, with a few in-
termissions, till he died, which was in about three hours and a half,11. —
Fell convulsed ; struggled so violently that several strong men could
scarcely hold bim ; he suddenly died in a fit (after one hour and a
quarter),*8. — Fell down convulsed, and died within a quarter of an hour,81.
— Fell down in strong convulsions ; the struggling was soon over, and he
became better, but retained a wild expression of countenance, which was
pale, and in a short time he bad another fit ; about half an hour later it
was manifest that he was dying ; his bloated livid face, the sanguineous
foam about his mouth and nostrils, the stertorous snort and convulsive
breathing, extreme prostration and insensibility plainly indicated that
every remedial measure would be useless ; he died in five minutes,*4. — Very
violent convulsions succeeded each other with very great rapidity, and were
followed by death,18. — Convulsions soon came on, and she lost her senses
(after ten or fifteen minutes); in half an hour more the convulsions had
become stronger and quicker; no sensibility ; mouth firmly open ; scarcely
any pulse at the wrist, and extremities cold ; she soon died,14. — Seized
while stepping from the boat ; insensibility, convulsions, foaming at the

mouth, and almost instantaneous death,". — Loss of speech and conscious-
ness, followed by terrible convulsions, which lasted three-quarters of an
hour, and terminated in death ; during the convulsions the teeth were
tightly closed by trismus,30. — In about an hour he became unconscious and
convulsed, and in half an hour more he died,88. — [280.] Convulsed, and
died in a few minutes, not more than half an hour having elapsed between
the first symptoms and death,64. — In five of the cases, including the man
who died, the spasmodic accessions were severe and successive,60. — Long in
a very precarious state, passing through alternations of tetanic convulsions
and insensibility,60. — Convulsions, with tetanic closure of the jaws and
frothing at the mouth, followed by death,49. — Convulsions, followed by
death,47. — Three were seized with convulsions, and two died,9. — Convul-

in one case death,87. — Fainted and fell in convulsions,88. — [290.] * Cmwd-
tions,10 ** 27 w " w, — In two of the cases it was observed that the access of the
convulsions, which were alternated with sopor, was always preceded by an
acceleration of the pulse,84. — In the intervals of the convulsions the girl,
aged six years, during the earlier part of her illness, protruded her tongue
as far as she could, as if there were something at the base she wished to get
rid of,71. — Spasms, followed by death,80. — Spasms,18. — Restless, endeavoring

CENOTHERA.
(Enothera biennis, L.
Natural order, Onagracese.
Common name, Large evening primrose.
Preparation, Tincture.
Authority. T. Biker Nute, M.D., U. S. Med. and Surg. Journal, 9, 395 ;
1, a woman, aged forty, took a teaspoonful of fluid extract for relief of a
wearisome feeling of mental and physical oppression; 2, same, subsequently
took 30 drops.
Head. — Light-headed,1.
Stool and Urinary Organs. — Pressing desire to evacuate the
bowels, and a copious, but apparently consistent and natural stool promptly
thrown off, without exciting pain or requiring muscular effort ; about three
hours later another copious discharge of the bowels, and still another after
midnight,1. — With the appearance of a warm perspiration upon the surface
of every part of my person came an urgent desire to void uriue. Passed
without seeming effort a large quantity of light-colored, bland, and un irri-
tating urine ; about an hour later again passed water freely ; again after
about two hours had a free discharge of urine ; and again at 9 oclock and
after midnight,1.
Generalities. — At first, the exhilarating effects of the remedy seemed
salutary, and promised a speedy removal of these annoying sensations (a
wearisome feeling of mental and physical oppression, which, while it con-
tinues, Quite disqualifies me for both thought and muscular exertion) ; but
in less than half an hour it became painfully evident that I had, in my
perhaps morbidly sensitive state of nerve, taken an overdose of it ; for, so
far from accomplishing the object for which I administered it, it appeared
to aggravate every symptom of the functional disturbance I had previously
experienced. The feeling of oppression about the brain early gave place
to p. violent vertigo, which was attended with such a swimming sensation
and loss of muscular power as deprived me of the ability to walk, to stand
or sit, or even to utter a loud word. There being no one in my chamber,
to which I had previously retired, from whom I could obtain aid, and being
persuaded that I *hould ere long fall from my chair headlong upon the
floor if I remained where I was, I resolved to make ah attempt to reach
138 OENOTHERA— OLEANDER.
my bed. By the support of objects in my course, I succeeded in making
my way iu safety to the foot of the latter, and from there along its side till
I had gained a central point thereof, from which I threw myself upon it,
a feat which was achieved with no inconsiderable difficulty and danger, in
my extremity, of a disastrous fall. There, I remember, I was wellnigh
driven mad by a feeling of numbness, attended by a pricking sensation in
almost every part of the surface of my body, accompanied by severe rigors
and occasional cramps in the muscles of the extremities and abdomen, to-
f ether with a wringing twisting pain beneath the umbilicus. I felt that
must be covered over, have some one to rub me and give me a warm
drink, or I should surely die ; and, after making many ineffectual efforts
by my voice, which refused to do my bidding, to attract the attention of
some member of the family on the floor below me, I determined on going
to them, as best I might, absurd as was the thought. I worked myself off
of my bed on to the floor, and upon my hands and knees gradually crawled
out of the room and along the hall leading therefrom as far as the head of
the stairs, with the intention of sliding feet foremost down the flight, and,
in a similar manner, make my way through the hall of the first floor up to
the door of the room then occupied by the family, where, in some way, I
thought I might, perchance, succeed in making my deplorable condition
known to them, and die, if die I must, in their presence. But on reaching
the head of the stairs, my courage, though stimulated by a feeling of des-
peration known only to a person similarly circumstanced, failed me, and,
abandoning the formidable, not to say hazardous, undertaking, I turned
roe about and crept back into the room I had deserted, got hold of the
side of my bed, and after a series of desperate efforts, succeeded in lifting
myself up, and again toppled over upon it, where I lay half unconscious
until the servant chanced to come into the room, and apprised the family
of my perilous condition. I had then lost power to raise my eyelids, to
lift my head, to move, to think, to speak, and, as it appeared to me, to long
exist, so complete was the exhaustion of all the vital forces of my organism ;
and yet I was conscious, I remember, of a slight mitigation of the cerebral
oppression which had for the last two hours held me spellbound, and of a
corresponding restoration of the functions of reason and judgment,1. —
Weak,1. — In the course of half an hour began to feel dizziness, attended
with weakness in the limbs and fluttering about the heart, with numbness
and a pricking sensation in the skin, griping pain beneath the umbilicus,
ere, much the same as I experienced last autumn, which, however, being
trifling in character, passed off quickly with a free motion of the bowels
and copious discharge of urine,*.

Those who encounter them divert themselves at their expense, and make
them chatter nonsense ; they are, however, too happy to pay attention to
anything but their own reveries. Even the loud laugh and the hootings

able reverie, at the end of three-quarters of an hour, or an hour at most,
never fails to animate these automatons, causing them to throw themselves
into a thousand different postures, but always extravagant and always
merry. This is the moment when the scene becomes most interesting; all
the actors are happy, and each retires home in a total state of irrationality,
but likewise in the entire and full enjoyment of happiness not to be pro-
cured by reason. Disregarding the ridicule of those they meet, who divert
themselves by making them talk absurdly, each imagiues and looks and
feels himself possessed of whatever he wishes. The reality of enjoyment
often gives less satisfaction,550. — [20.] Hot, anxious, and intoxicated ; she

While smoking they are loquacious at first, and the conversation highly
animated ; but as the opium takes effect the conversation droops, and they
frequently burst out into loud laughter from the most trifling causes, or
without any apparent cause at all, unless it be from the train of thought
passing through their excited imaginations. The next phase presents a
vacancy of countenance, with pallor and shrinking of the features, so that
they resemble people convalescing from fever. A dead silence precedes a
deep sleep, which continues from half an hour to three or four hours. In
this state the pulse becomes much slower, softer, and smaller than before
the debauch. Such is the general process almost invariably observed among
the Chinese. But with the Malays it is often very different ; instead of the
placidity that ushers in the profound sleep, the Malays frequently become
outrageously violent and quarrelsome, and lives are occasionally lost in

wonderfully terse and convincing. As soon as the effect begins to subside
(as it does after sleeping), he is depressed and melancholy, which soon
reaches an extreme state of suicidal depression, in which the world seems
terribly dull, and he feels driven to desperation, as if haunted by evil
spirits. This condition is brought on by occasional attempts to resist his
destructive habit; but he cannot endure abstinence long. As soon as he

those of other drugs, when the former are placed at the beginning with the head

touch, in relation to external objects, though he feels his cheeks cold when
he touches them (after one hour and a half ),M.f — His mental and bodily
powers are destroyed,1". — Nothing on earth can equal the apparent quiet
enjoyment of the Opium-smoker; there is a lightness of the head, tingling
in every limb ; the eyes seem to be enlarged, and the ears sharpened to
hearing; an elasticity and inclination to mount on high are experienced ;
all pains are gone, and pleasure now remains ; all weariness has vanished,
and freshness takes its place ; the loathing of food previously experienced
is changed to a relish for what is piquant, and a great desire is often felt
for some particular food ; the tongue is now loosened, and tells its tale, for
whatever is secret becomes open, and what was intended for one becomes
known to all. Still there is no excitement, but rather a calmness, soft,
soothing, and sedative. He dreams not, nor thinks of the morrow ; but,
with a smile in his eye, fills his pipe with the last of his allowance. Slowly
inhaling it he seems to brighten up, the smile that sparkled in his eye ex-
tends to other features, and his appearance is one of complete yet placid
enjoyment. Presently the pipe is slowly displaced, or drops by his side ;
his head, if raised, is now laid on the pillow ; feature after feature gives up
its smile ; the eye becomes glazed ; the upper eyelid drops ; the chin and
lower lip fall; deeper and deeper inspirations follow; all perception is
gone ; objects may strike the eye, but no sights are seen ; sounds may fall
on the ear, but none are heard, and so he passes into sleep, disturbed and
broken, from which the wretched being awakes to a full conception of his
miseries,333. — The effects produced on the health by abandoning the habit
of Opium-smoking, after it has become deeply rooted, are even worse than
the perseverance in it. A gloomy despondency is added to the usual
symptoms of the ordinary stage of depression ; a state ensues somewhat
like a low state of delirium tremens, attended with extreme prostration of
strength, and often with exhausting diarrhoea and vomiting; all pre-exist-
ing diseases are aggravated, dropsy frequently ensues, and death may soon

result, most generally by effusion into the great cavities, and general ana-
sarca. When these effects have begun to show themselves under a compul-
sory cessation of the habit, the most marked improvement of health is pro-
duced by resuming it. The result of the examination of several hundred
Opium-smokers on this point was, that, by their own confession, the extent
of their indulgence was limited only by their means, and the spontaneous
abandonment of it impossible. The writer of an essay on the Opium trade
says, "There is no slavery on earth to name with the bondage into which
Opium casts its victims; there is scarcely one known instance of escape
from its toils, when once they have fairly enveloped a man," 232. — The
effects were strougest if I were unwell, or if anything had in the least de-
ranged the functions of the economy; for instance, if I had been up all
night ; if I had been sick and vomited, and taken no food, 2 or 3 grains
would have as much effect as otherwise 4 or 5 grains,130. — The torments of
the victim of Opium, when deprived of this stimulant, are as dreadful as
his bliss is complete when he has taken it,192. — If deprived of laudanum for
a single day, the most unpleasant symptoms came on ; loss of sleep and
appetite and an indescribable feeling of languor, with a corresponding de-
pression of spirits, and slight involuntary motions of the limbs, all of which
were readily relieved by the accustomed dose of laudanum,*81. — After dis-
continuing its use she was more miserable than before ; all the symptoms
returning with increased severity, and for the first six months she was
almost entirely helpless,177. — If the dose be not taken at the usual time,
there is great prostration, vertigo, torpor, discharge of water from the eyes,
and in some an involuntary discharge of semen, even when wide awake.
If the privation be' complete, a still more formidable train of phenomena
takes place. Coldness is felt over the whole body, with aching pains in all
parts. Diarrhoea occurs ; the most horrid feelings of wretchedness come
on ; and if the poison be withheld, death terminates the victim's existence,"2.
— At length their whole organization assimilated to such a 6tate of mind
and body, and they have grown up to the size of manhood, with the
avenues of their brains practically closed by drugs, so that they still have
merely infantile powers of mind and strength of body. Joseph is very
gluttonous and masturbates in the most shameless manner. George has a
most perfect equanimity of general foolishness and indolence in all his
faculties. But William is a powerful genius on digestion, and robs the
swine and dogs of all the crumbs he can skim out of their food,280. — [I860.]
Most Opium-eaters dislike wine and brandy ; but this is not always the
case. The exhilaration is most strikiug in the state of the mind ; all is
order, harmony, vigor, and tranquillity ; there is no shadow of that bru-
tality which most decidedly belongs, more or less, to vinous intoxication.
No greater misery can he felt than the Opium-eater experiences when his
accustomed stimulus fails him, or the dreadful reaction sets in, which is as
striking to observers as it is painful to himself; the mind is much en-
feebled ; the eyes lack lustre ; the sensations are all disordered ; the appe-
tite is lost; the limbs seem incapable of supporting the body's load ; exist-
ence is loathsome; no substitute can be found for the potent juice, for to
the greater number of the lovers of Opium wine and brandy are disgust-
ing ; they nauseate instead of diffusing a genial glow. The accustomed
dram is the only relief to be found in this sad state, and the deluded victim
flies to his debauch whenever the opportunity presents itself, although self-
condemnation and the ridicule of his friends await him, and although
idiocy and deformity stare him in the face,IM. — Any meal, taken within

11 a.m., I sometimes experienced a burning heat creeping throughout my
limbs, but which was particularly strong in my palms, followed by exhaus-
tion, at 9, 10, or 12 p.m., or thereabout ; sometimes I experienced lassitude
and propensity to sleep next morning, when I got up at 8 or 9 ; sometimes
at noon, or any other time during the day or night. I cannot exactly de-
termine how long this state of relaxation lasted, but I think I sometimes
felt it on the third and fourth days, after having continued most part of the
second, or at least made its appearance on that day. If I had taken 10
full grains, the second day I perceived the symptoms of giddiness, trem-
bling, etc., in a much milder degree than on the first;, on the third

Note by Dr. Lippe. — " What you find in my text-book on Palladium
are only the characteristic symptoms taken from provings made and col-
lected by Dr. Hering. I could make no additions. Confirmed are the
mental symptoms as compared with those of Platina ; also the ovarian symp-
toms."
The editor, therefore, will not publish the symptoms from Lippe's text-
book, but, with others eager to cure the sick, will wait impatiently till the
original provings may be given to the world.

skin, speedily breaking out on those who are, for the first time, engaged in
the manufacture, lasting for a few weeks or months, and then generally
diminishing or disappearing. In a few exceptional individuals the erup-
tion does not disappear, but, assuming a chronic character, produces so
marked and prolonged an affection of the skin that the general health be-
comes impaired, and the cessation of this employment becomes a necessity.
In the acute form of the eruption, which soon appears in those exposed to
the influence of crude paraffin, the skin of the hands, wrists, arms, feet, and
legs becomes covered with a rash of bright-red nodules, closely approxi-
mate to each other, and usually largest and most numerous on the wrists,
or wherever the dress tightly embraces the skin ; the dorsal aspects of the
parts being most severely affected, and the palms of the hands and soles
of the feet enjoying a complete immunity; similar nodules arise, though
to a less extent, on the face, neck, and other parts of the body to which the
oily matters find access ; on examining minutely the skin of those affected
in this way, the following are the leading peculiarities of the eruption:
the bright-red nodules, hard to the touch, tender on pressure, varying little
in size, which is about equal to that of a grain of barley, are of a rounded
form, and consist each of a single hair-follicle with the parts immediately
surrounding it, which are inflamed, indurated, and reddened ; the hair
emerges from the very summit of the nodule, and the orifice of the hair-
follicle is much enlarged and easily visible to the naked eye as an aperture
of a magnitude similar to that of a pinhole in a card ; the dilatation extends
to the deeper part of the follicle, which forms the kernel of the inflamed
knot, the retention of its contents evidently contributing to the inflamma-
tory induration around ; the gaping mouth of the follicle exhibits masses

of cast-off epithelial scales, dry and friable instead of greasy and teuacious ;
the nodule has little of the tendency to run on to suppuration observable
in an ordinary comedone, and its contents cannot be squeezed out; on the
contrary, the redness and induration, after remaining for some little time,
gradually diminish, and finally disappear, leaving the hair-follicle en-
larged, and its mouth gaping so as to exhibit the retained epithelial
masses, these latter being rendered more distinct by continued retention
and accumulation of dirt; in fact, the acute form of the eruption consists
of successive crops of these nodules, which are at the same time seen in all
stages of their growth, full development, and subsidence ;• while the skin
between them, studded with the black gaping mouths of such follicles as
have already passed through or are about to undergo the process, retains,
contrary to what is observed in the chronic form of the malady, its natural
pliancy and elasticity. In all paraffin -workers patency and enlargement
of the hair-follicles continue, to some extent, so long as they are engaged
in this manufacture, and the black dots in the skin of their hands and
face strike the eye of the observer at once ; men with dark complexions
and strong hair being especially deformed in this way, while fair complex-
ions and light or reddish hair escape comparatively unaffected ; a few ex-
ceptional individuals, with swarthy complexions and hairy skins, suffer so
much from an exaggerated patency of the follicles that they are compelled
to quit their occupation and seek a more suitable calling. When the dis-
ease assumes a chronic form it exhibits the following characteristics : the
backs of the feet and toes, the dorsum of the hand, and the backs of the
fingers between, but not over, the joints, exhibit a peculiar honeycombed
appearance of the skin, which is elevated, thickened, and inelastic, so as to
prevent or render difficult and painful the flexion of the fingers and hands;
these elevated honeycombed patches are of natural color, and not inflamed
(except where the isolated papule exhibits the appearance described under
the acute form), but consists of densely grouped arrays of hair-follicles,
with the indurated cutis between and around them, the follicles packed
with dry brittle accumulations of epithelial scales, so extensive as to be
easily visible through the dilated mouths of the follicles, these latter being
large enough to admit the extremity of an ordinary probe ; the hairs them-
selves have disappeared from these patches, having probably become
atrophic from the pressure of the epidermic masses, while cracks and bleed-
ing fissures traverse the indurated parts, and in rare instances a follicular
abscess gives variety to the picture ; the knuckles of the fingers and toes,
the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet remain unaffected by the
disease; in the subjects of the chronic malady the complexion is pale and
the tongue foul, while the loss of flesh betrays the effects of the sleepless
nights caused by the constant irritation and pain of the skin of the affected
extremities," — Eruptions, Moist* On the front of the thighs and
legs, and the backs of the forearms, there is a vesicular eruption ; it is
everywhere similar in character ; on the thighs there are some thickened
patches of cuticle and sordes covering part of the eruption ; the vesicles are
aggregated in places and isolated at the margins ; there is no itching in the
affected parts, but some irritation is complained of (after three weeks) ; two
days later, has had two baths ; some of the cuticle and sordid matter is re-
moved from the thigh, and the nature of the disease is better seen ; some of
the vesicles seem inclined to be pustular at their summits; a hair is seen
in the centre of each of thera,n. — *Bli8ter8 on the heel,1. — Eruptions,

the end of three years her face began to swell and she then left the busi-
ness; the swelling gradually increased, and she entered the hospital ; several
teeth were extracted, with but little relief; she appears to have repeatedly
left and returned to the hospital, with the swelling continuing, until at last
an abscess formed in the superior maxillary bone, which left it carious,*5. —
Violent pain in right upper jaw, which was soon succeeded by swelling and
abscess of the gums ; eight teeth in succession became rapidly carious and
were removed ; this had some effect on the swelling, but it soon increased
again, extending to the cheek and part of the neck ; according to the
patient's account, the suppuration at the commencement had a strong odor
of Phosphorus. Pregnancy appeared to have proved favorable to the dis-
ease, but on new examination, there was found to be a necrosis of the supe-
rior maxilla,68. — About two years before her entrance into the hospital,
she began to have severe pain in the second molar tooth of the left upper
jaw. The tooth was carious and was removed, but the wound always re-
mained open, though the pain ceased. Seven months before her entrance,
there was swelling affecting the whole gum on that side, and extending in-
wards to a considerable extent over the roof of the mouth. Soon after
this, there was a discharge of pus from the alveolus of the tooth, and also
from the left nostril, and this state of things continued, the swelling not
having diminished since the abscess first broke. Soon after the tooth be-
came affected, one of the others became loose and painful, and was ex-
tracted. Meantime the left cheek had become unnaturally full. Three
months later the alveolar process was found to be diseased, and all the re-
maining teeth of that maxilla were extracted except the two incisors and
the wisdom tooth. Several pieces of dead bone were removed, and the
antrum was found to be in communication with the mouth. Two months
later, the jaw became again the seat of pain, which in the course of a
month became so great as to prevent sleep. On entrance, there was much
swelling, soreness, and pain about the gum and roof of mouth. The mid-
dle incisor remained, but was quite loose. The antrum was open, and there
was a good deal of semi-purulent offensive discharge,93. — Pain in the left
upper jaw, with swelling of the upper lip; the pain afterwards disappeared
for awhile, but the lip remained swollen ; several abscesses formed in the
mouth, discharged matter between the teeth, and the patient had some
of the back teeth drawn and experienced relief from pain for a time,
but afterwards it considerably increased and the gum became swollen, so
that the mouth could scarcely be opened and the bone became denuded,9.
— Gums began to soften and swell, violent pains in the teeth of the upper
jaw followed, with swelling extending over the whole cheek; the teeth
becoming carious, fell out, and a fetid suppuration proceeded from the
sockets; on examination, the bone was found largely diseased,64. — Lips*

appeared on the under part of the chin ; at first it was the size of a four-
penny piece, and quickly enlarged until it extended over the face as far as
the eyes; except upon the chin, however, the swelling remained pale and
doughy ; upon the original swelling of the chin there was found a group
of pustules of the size of hempseed and larger, whieh, after discharging
their thin turbid contents, formed an ulcer the size of a sixpence ; at the
same time the parts beneath became disorganized into a thin, slightly dis-
colored offensive porulent mas3. A disagreeable smell also emanated from
the mouth ; the gums and teeth, particularly the front teeth of both jaws,
became loose from salivation, which set in at the same time ; and the child,
from the commencement of the affection, complained much of toothache
and headache. Within eight days the ulcer had destroyed the soft parts,
even to the bone ; after the use of remedies for ten days, three thin pieces
of bone, the size of a bean, detached themselves from the surface of the
lower jaw at the chin, and on the following days other small very thin
fragments of bone were observed upon the lint; upon this the sanious dis-
charge was arrested ; the surface of the ulcer became clearer and began to
discharge a thin pus, and to form granulations; three weeks after the ex-
foliation, the ulcer was cicatrized,74. — Suffered much from violent tooth-
ache, accompanied with considerable swelling of the right side of the face ;
he had a double tooth extracted, but without relief; the affection progressed
so quickly that in a short time he ceased to be able to follow his employ-
ment; one tooth after another dropped out; he became so weak that he
was unable to work ; a swelling of the size of an egg formed below the
right orbit, which in a fortnight burst, discharging a large quantity of white
pus ; he continued to get worse, all the teeth having fallen out, the gums
of the lower jaw retracted, and he now presents the following appearance :
The right cheek is considerably swollen ; at the right angle of the lower
jaw exists an opening, discharging laudable pus, through which the probe
can be passed a couple of inches along bare bone ; two inches anterior to
this there is another aperture likewise leading to dead bone ; on opening the
mouth, the whole of the lower jaw, as far as the ascending rami and down
to the reflection of the mucous membrane on the cheek, is quite dead,
denuded, and of a lead en -grayish color,74. — Closure of the jaws so that she

pains, in the lower jaw,188. — Necrosis of the jaw, during the progress of
which the -patient was attacked with the most violent erysipelas, which
threatened her life,188. — Seized with toothache, and swelling on the right
side of the lower jaw ; to relieve it the gums were lanced, and, finally, the
tooth extracted ; after this the pain ceased, but the swelling gradually in-
creased, until a spontaneous opening formed on the under side of the jaw,
with a discharge of pus, which has continued since; she remained in the
factory until one week previous to her admission into the hospital. Upon
examination after her admission, the inferior maxilla was found necrosed
on the right side, and partially on the left ; the jaw was painful, and that
side of the face swollen ; the discharge was at times profuse, and a part
of it took place through the buccal cavity, rendering it very annoying ;
her appetite was good, but mastication difficult and painful ; the necrosis
gradually extended, but her general health continued good,98. — Two years
ago he began to be troubled with carious teeth: the three molars on the
left side of the lower jaw became so painful that he was obliged to masti-
cate on the right side exclusively. Afterwards the teeth on the right side
pained him, and he was forced to employ the left ones again. Two months
ago he took cold, and after a few days, he found a swelling about the left
side of the lower jaw, accompanied with pains in the bone, extending to
different parts of the head and face. He had three teeth extracted, which
were rotted away at their crowns, but their fangs were entire. At the time
of his admission, the three remaining incisors were quite loose ; entire gum
on left side swollen and spongy ; fetid pus escaping on the slightest pres-
sure, from the previous site of the extracted teeth ; a probe passed into
these openings strikes on bare bone ; over these parts there was considerable
exterior swelling ; pulse quick and feeble ; general strength impaired ; face
puffy and very pallid ; sleep disturbed by pain in the jaws and general
articular pains. The pain and swelling increased on the right half of the
face, speedily bringing it into the same condition as the half first affected.
The ulceration of the gum over the diseased alveoli advanced ; and as the
several openings became confluent, the alveolar margin of the bone became
exposed. The soft parts rapidly retracted from the surface of the bone,
and the denudation became every day more complete, and its exposure
was attended with a copious and most fetid suppuration. From then until
now the only difference that has occurred has consisted in the gradually
advancing isolation of the bone,81. — Began to suffer with toothache in the
right side of lower jaw; this lasted for some time, and was followed soon
by a hard lump upon the outside of the jaw; the pain continued to in-
crease and the swelling to enlarge until an abscess formed in the sub-
maxillary region, and burst, and discharged a large quantity of purulent
matter. Upon introducing a probe into the discharging orifice, I found that
it led directly to the jaw, which was deprived of its periosteum and in a
necrosed condition ; there was, however, no indication that exfoliation had
taken place from any part of the jaw, but, on the contrary, the whole bone
was firm and solid. At this time the disease seemed to extend only from
the right lower canine tooth to the angle of the same side of the jaw.
Later he presented himself in a condition much worse than before ; now
from weakness and exhaustion he had been forced to give up his occupa-
tion. All the teeth upon the right side of the jaw have loosened and fallen
out ; besides several openings upon the outside of the face, that were freely
discharging pus, there were two or three inside of the mouth, from which
there issued a large quantity also, and which led directly to the diseased
PHOSPHORUS. 391
bone. The disease now seemed to involve the whole of the right side of
the lower jaw, without there being made the least attempt, seemingly, by
the periosteum to replace the dead bone with a new casing of osseous de-
posit such as usually forms in ordinary cases of necrosis; nor was there
any disposition to exfoliate or to form a sequestrum, but on the contrary
the whole jaw was as firm and solid as at the time when it was first exam-
ined. His constitution had now become seriously affected, as he was much
emaciated and weakened by the great drain of pus that was constantly
poured forth from the diseased parts. Later, in the mouth can be felt and
easily seen the denuded jaw for an extent of two inches. His breath smells
very offensively. The disease now extends from the right tempo ro-maxil-
lary articulation to the left lower canine tooth. He cannot eat solid food,
though his appetite is tolerably good,104. — During the last half year she
had occasionally suffered from toothache on the right side of the lower jaw.
In a few months it became more severe aud ceased to be limited to the
carious teeth, and extended through the whole jaw, over the cheek, and
even to the temporal region and the neck. At the same time considerable
febrile disturbance, with occasional rigors, supervened, accompanied by
swelling of gums and cheek, with erysipelatous redness of the latter. On
admittance, the examination showed the right cheek much swollen, and
very tense towards the eye, the mouth, the chin, and neck ; the tenderness
most considerable in the vicinity of the lower jaw. Pain deepseated,
throbbing, piercing, concentrated at the angle of the jaw, and radiating
thence over the adjacent soft parts. Extreme tenderness on pressure. The
gums of the diseased side of the jaw much swollen, tense, darkened, and
tender ; the mucous membrane of the cheek equally so; between the angle
of the jaw and first molar, fetid pus of a phlegmonous character oozed
out on pressure. The first and fourth molars on the right side of the
lower jaw were carious, the other molars deficient. The swelling of the
gums increased, became more tense, extended to the soft palate ; dysphagia
and salivation supervened, and the jaw became almost immovable. Sup-
puration increased, pus laudable, but fetid. During the second week, the
four incisors and one molar became loosened, suppuration ichorous and
rusty, gums softened and livid, formation of sinuses on the external and
internal surface, through which the probe reached the bone, which appeared
in part rough, in part smooth. In the progress of the disease, increased
retraction of gurns from the alveolar surface, fresh abscesses, increased dis-
coloration, and burrowing sinuses, so that the entire jaw was exposed to
the probe, both externally and internally. The bone appeared almost
entirely detached from the soft parts, floating in an excessively sanious
fluid,81. — [850.] The disease appeared to commence by a swelling in that
part of the jaw whence a tooth had been extracted two years before ; the
swelling continued to extend until the eutire bone became affected. He
said that he had suffered great pain through the entire jaw, and that his
nights had been sleepless. He looked very ill, was much emaciated, and
he presented a curious appearance of the mouth, which was pursed up into
a round aperture in consequence of the protrusion forward of the enlarged
jaw. There were two fistulous openings, one on each side of the upper
part of the neck ; and a probe introduced struck the angle of the jaw,
which was quite dead. I examined the mouth and found the jaw quite
dead. I could distinguish every part of the bone except the condyles,
which were imbedded in soft tissue. There was a large quantity of fetid
discharge around the bone, but the principal part came from the vicinity

of the condyles. The outside of the cheeks about the masseteric regions
was much thickened. The teeth were all gone, and the appearance of the
jaw was that from an edentulated cranium ,la\ — Toothache in the left lower
jaw, formation of an ulcer on the side of the middle back tooth with vio-
lent pains ; as the ulcer opened a piece of bone was discharged ; at last
the cheek became swollen and erysipelatous and abscesses formed, which
discharged much matter; the necrosis of the bone progressed until the
whole half of the lower jaw had to be removed,70.— A carious molar of the
right side of the lower jaw was extracted ; from this time (seven months
since) the peculiar Phosphorus necrosis may be said to have fairly begun,
and it progressed rapidly, for the subject of it was compelled to give up
the charge of his department about a fortnight after the tooth was drawn.
The face was very much deformed by indurated swelling, which was par-
ticularly conspicuous on the right side and about the chin ; three fistulous
openings, surrounded by flabby granulations, were upon the right side of
the neck; from .these fetid pus exuded freely; a horribly offensive odor
came from the mouth, and faliva and pus were constantly dribbling out ;
the gums were spongy on the margin, but partook of the general induration
at the sides ; four sound but loose teeth occupied the right alveolar cavities;
the upper jaw seemed healthy ; the patient could not part the two jaws suf-
ficiently to introduce a finger with facility ; a probe detected necrosed
bone both on examination in the mouth and through the sinuses ; the ex
aminations gave excessive pain ; a portion of the left lower jaw only seemed
clear of the disease ; the symphysis was completely involved,152. — The dis-
ease seems first to attack the gum of diseased teeth ; it usually makes its
appearance in a year or a year and a half after beginning work in the
factory ; it is still questionable whether the disease is due to Phosphorus,
Phosphoric acid, or to the ozone generated by the Phosphorus, or even
whether it may not be due to general chronic Phosphorus poisoning. The
lower jaw was affected in nine cases out of ten, the upper jaw in one case ; the
disease very seldom spread frbra the upper jaw to the bones of the face.
The first symptom was tensive pain in the teeth, then looseness of the teeth
and discharge of matter between the gum and teeth ; if now the teeth be
drawn the swelling and pain increase and involve the whole half of the
jaw; usually the disease progresses slowly and irregularly, with transient
periods of improvement; the soft parts covering the jaws, cheeks, sides of
the mouth, become swollen and intolerably painful ; one tooth after another
becomes loose, and every pressure upon the gum causes discharge of pus ;
the pus often is discharged through the cheek externally. The skin of the
margin of the lower jaw becomes red, soft, loosens, and at last infiltrated ;
from this infiltration there follows a discharge of matter that seems to come
from the alveolar process ; wherever the opening is probed denuded bone
is found ; at the same time it is found that the periosteum that has been
loosened from the bone has a new deposit of bone on its inner surface, so
that the sound passes between two surfaces of bone, one consisting of old
bone, the other of new growth ; the denuded bone decays in various direc-
tions and is gradually discharged with the matter. After two or three years
these necrosed pieces of bone separate from the whole extent of the jaw.
With this the patient suffers from fever, at times violent, considerable
emaciation ; nutrition is very much disturbed on account of the difficulty
of swallowing, and the digestion suffers on account of the mixture of offen-
sive matter with the food ; sleep at night is possible only by means of in-
creasing doses of Morphia, and the patient gradually sinks with hectic

and exhaustion. During the prostration tuberculosis frequently develops ;
at times also lobular pneumonia, terminating in gangrene of the lung
and pyohsemia,180. — The Phosphorus disease of the jaw consists in the first
stage of an inflammatory swelling of the gum and soft parts of the mouth,
extending over the face and neck, associated with the development of
masses of osteophyte of varying extent and thickness about the jaw ; in
the second stage the teeth become black, the gum recedes, the osteophytes
suppurate, and the jaw becomes denuded, rough, and blackish or grayish-
green, and the teeth fall out ; this stage is associated with the most violent
pain in the face and head, disturbance of digestion, sleeplessness, fever,
salivation, fistulous burrowing of the matter in the muscles and integu-
ments of the face, which became erysipelatous, followed by exfoliation of
the bone, and sometimes by extension of the necrosis to all the bones of
the skull, and death with hectic fever,87. — Necrosis of the jaw; the disease
begins as toothache, involving one or more teeth in the upper or lower
jaw ; the disease spreads to the jawbone, which increases in volume and
becomes painful to pressure; afterwards the soft parts become swollen,
especially the gums and cheeks, in the latter erysipelatous inflammation
develops, even extending over the whole side of the face and down on to
the neck ; the patients have fever, yellow color of the skin, especially of
the face, loss of appetite, thirst, irregular stools ; the pain at last extends
to the ear and temple, with increased secretion of saliva. Various teeth
become loose, and between them there is a discharge of offensive matter,
that collects in various parts of the jaw under the gum or under the skin
externally, and gradually makes its way into the mouth or through the
skin, usually by a number of circuitous channels. The teeth fall out, the
jaw becomes denuded, and the necrosis either becomes circumscribed or in-
volves the whole jaw,". — Diseases of the gums and maxillary bones, termi-
nating in necrosis and sometimes in death, were not uncommon ; the com-
plaints only appeared after a sojourn in the factory for at least two years,
and in individuals habitually exposed to the fumes ; all the workmen
whom he had observed had decayed teeth before the disease commenced,
not unfrequently before commencing the manufacture ; many other work-
men with sound teeth have preserved them in the midst of phosphoric
vapors, a fact which induces him to believe that carious teeth constitute a
predisposing cause of the disease,*7. — The disorder at first resembled ordi-
nary toothache, attended, however, with swelling of the face ; as the severity
of the symptoms increased she became a patient at the Royal Infirmary,
but derived little benefit from the treatment ; six months later all the teeth
on the right side of the lower jaw fell out, or were removed without diffi-
culty, before the jaw was removed, and on the left side as far as the second
bicuspid, all the teeth were sound. There is a great deal of new callus
thrown out in the situation of the old bone, so much so that there will be
scarcely any disfigurement from the loss of the jaw, a little from the loss
of the teeth ; she can close her jaw and chew her meat and bread well ;
the bone and teeth of the upper jaw are in a perfectly healthy state, and
she now enjoys excellent health,86. — Scrofulous subjects are most affected,
and in them the disease is most fatal ; almost all the girls employed have
the gums more or less affected, and at their junction with the teeth a red
ulcerated line, like that produced by mercurial salivation, Is apparent.
When the individual is robust and the necrosis is confined to a small por-
tion of the bone, exfoliation takes place and a gradual cure follows, but
where there exists any tendency to scrofula, phthisis becomes developed,

On the upper third of the lower extremity (below the knee) are two mod-
erately extensive wounds, not extending to the bone. After the necrotic
parts had been thrown off and granulation was commencing, they were
attacked by nosocomial gangrene ; after this had been subdued by strong
caustic remedies, extensive gangrenous periostitis of the tibia, with severe
febrile disturbance, supervened ; the periosteum peeled off from a large
area upwards, as far as the knee-joint ; the bone was rough. It being
impossible to expect this to heal, and as the enormous suppuration, the
high fever, and the continual sleeplessness were threatening to completely
exhaust the patient, amputation of the femur above the condyles was per-
formed on the 4th of February. During the operation it was observed
that the periosteum, although of normal thickness, and apparently of in-
tact structure, adhered but very loosely to the bone, and could be turned
back as far as the condyles with the greatest facility. We were obliged to
take away the sutures a few days after the operation on account of the
great pressure of the shaft of the bone against the soft parts; as soon as
this was done, the periosteum of the whole circumference of the shaft
peeled off right up to the trochanter minor, and fell back with the soft
parts in the form of a flabby funnel-shaped sac, so that the superficially
necrosed shaft, to the length of half a foot, stood out free. With con-
tinued high fever, irregular rigors, and increasing collapse, death followed
on the sixth day after the operation,2". — Soreness on the inner portion of

was pregnant she did not miscarry ; the blood seemed to be completely re-
stored, and her vital forces re-established ; but afterwards, in the fifth month,
she was taken with profuse uterine haemorrhage, which, however, was arrested,

Authority. Dr. Breunar, Peters. Med. Zeit, 1865 (S. J., 127, 163), ef-

After working about three months, he began to notice nickering points

it impossible to fix his vision upon any object, especially in reading. At
the same time a diarrhoea developed, with weakness and unsteadiness of
the arms, that gradually rendered it very difficult for him to write. The
unsteadiness of the lower extremities was associated with undercurrent
shooting pains in them and in the abdomen, and his gait became very tot-
tering. The teeth also began to crumble, both the healthy and carious
teeth, without any pain. There was no headache, vertigo, nor anaesthesia,
no sensitiveness of the spine, no disturbance of hearing, nor of the mental
powers. At last ataxia of the muscles that control articulation became
apparent, so that it was necessary to make a great effort of the will to ar-
ticulate the word he wished to speak ; swallowing also became somewhat
difficult. The patient exhibited a complete expression of ataxia; he stood
with the extremities separated; co-ordinated movement (walking) was
wholly impossible when the eyes were closed ; the patient would stagger
and fall down. There was no anaesthesia of the skin or muscles ; electric
irritability of the muscles was, indeed, extraordinarily increased, and there
was also eo muscular atrophy. The optic nerve was extremely irritable,
reflex optic symptoms could be produced not only by irritation of the tri-
geminus, but also from the nape of the neck, from the lower angle of the
scapula, and often from the upper arm. The auditory nerve was normal,
though exhibiting some symptoms of hyperesthesia. The patient was
gradually cured by electricity.
PHYSALIA.

effects from being stung by the animal ; 2, ibid., effects on Dr. Clark Abd.
On takiug hold of the animal, it raised its tentacles and stung me on
the second and ring finger. The sensation was similar at first to that pro-
duced by the nettle ; but before a few minutes had elapsed, a violent ach-
ing pain succeeded, affecting more severely the joints of the fingers, the
stinging sensation at the same continuing at the part first touched. On
cold water being applied, with the intention of removing or lessening the
pain, it was found rather to increase than diminish the painful effects. The
irritation resulting from the poisonous fluid emitted by the animal extended
upwards, increasing in extent and severity (apparently acting along the
course of the nerves), and in the space of a quarter of an hour, the pain
in the forearm (which was more particularly referable to the inner part)
was very violent, and at the elbow-joint it was still more so. It may be
worthy of remark, that when the joints became affected the pain always
increased. The pain became at last almost unbearable, and was much in-
creased on the affected arm being moved ; the pulse of that arm was also
much accelerated, and an unnatural heat was felt over the whole surface.
The pain extended to the shoulder-joint; and on the pectoral muscle be-
coming attacked by the same painful sensation, an oppression of breathing
was occasioned, which we find produced iu a similar manner by rheuina-

tism, when it attacks that muscle; and it proved very distressing during
the time it remained. The continuance of the pain was very severe for
nearly half an hour, after which it gradually abated, but the after-effect
was felt during the remainder of the day in a slight degree of numbness
and increased temperature of the arm. About two hours after I had been
stung, I perceived that a vesicle had arisen on the spot; and when children
have been stung, I observed that numerous small vesicles arose, similar to
those produced by the nettle,1. — " Whilst employed in collecting some sea-
weed floating about the ship, I observed a species of Physalia, so small
and transparent that I at first mistook it for an air-bubble ; but on catch-
ing it in my hand, was soon convinced of my error, for wrapping its long
tendrils round one of my fingers, it stung like a nettle, but with much more
severe effect. In about five minutes the pain in my finger abated, but an
uneasy sensation extended up the inside of the arm, which soon terminated
in an aching pain in the armpit, accompanied by a sense of restriction
within my chest ; within fifteen minutes all uneasiness ceased/ ~

— A slight degree of giddiness (after fifty minutes),2. — A slight giddiness,
which occurred in fifteen minutes, was ascribed to the force of the imagi-
nation, and I proceeded to take a warm shower-bath, which process, with
the subsequent scrubbing, might take five or six minutes more ; the giddi-
ness was then very decided, and was attended with the peculiar indescribable
torpidity over the whole frame which attends the action of Opium and
Indian hemp in medicinal doses. I now swallowed the shaving water
which I had just been using, by which the stomach was effectually emptied.
Nevertheless, I presently became so giddy, weak, and faint that I was
glad to lie down supine upon the bed. On getting up, after a tolerable
din'ner, I was so giddy as to be glad to betake myself to the sofa for the
evening (after 12 grains),1. — Dizziness (after ninety-five minutes),8. — Diz-

affects the sight very much, producing these spectres constantly flitting
before the sight ; long snakes or worms, both dark and light ; also waves
before the eyes, giving objects a tremulous motion, as if it gave the same
quality of involuntary motion to the optic nerve that it does to the motor
nerves, and made the sight movable ; also a slight sensation of double

If a very weak solution is used, so that the accommodation is not markedly
affected, we find that on attempting to use binocular vision, as in reading,
a disturbance exists, consisting of pain, blurring, and straining, so that one
eye must be closed, which is relieved by a weak concave glass ; it seems as
though the ordinary will, impulse, caused too great an action of the accom-
modation,10.— Had the symptoms in the eye all the morning, with much

tense itching of the edges of the eyelids and inner canthus of the right
eye (sixth dav),43. — Eyes suffused with tears (after seven hours and a half,
second day),61.— Ball. [190.] *Pain in tfie eyeballs (third day),41.— Se-
vere pains in the right eyeball, darting from within outward ; relief from
pressing on the eyes ; the pain continued at intervals, from 6£ to 10 p.m.,
when it seemed to shift to the supraorbital ridge, and continued till about
12 (after eleven hours and a half). As soon as I got up, at 7 a.m., expe-
rienced severe darting pains in both eyes; pain darting outwards; experi-
enced no pain after breakfast ; as soon as I sat down to study, at 7 p.m.,
had the same darting pains in the left eye and superciliary ridge ; same
character of pain, and relieved by pressure and moving about ; pain grad-
ually diminished until 11 p.m. (second day),66. — Pain, with sharp stitches,
in the ball of right eye, and in the frontal bone, with a distinct pain run-
ning obliquely into the temporal bone, in the evening (first day). Pain
deep in, over top of ball ; ran up from inner canthus to the right frontal
eminence, then down obliquely outward into temple ; dull miserable pain ;
same in eye and forehead returned, not as severe, but more general over
the forehead, relieved by motion out of doors (second day),67. — A drawn,
twisted sensation in the eyeballs, at 8 p.m. (second day) ; especially in the
right, at 7 p.m. (third day),7,c. — Towards the end of the myotic action there
is experienced a painful tension, partly in the equator of the ball, partly
in the ciliary region,10. — Great fulness of the eyeballs, as if they were too
large, with a sensation as if the lids were too tight on closing them (first
flight),46. — Swollen sensation, with burning in the eyeballs (third day),4*. —
Nervous achings in the whole ball, which extended along the supraorbital
nerves, and over half the head,10. — The circulation in the fundus of the
globe is not affected,10. — Pupil. Decided dilatation of the pupil, very
soon,69*. — [200.] Pupils dilated (third day),60. — After the myosis had passed
off there is usually mydriasis of a slight degree for several days, especially
during the morning hours ; this seems to depend upon a kind of fatigue
of the sphincter, which passes off during the day under the reflex stimulus
of light,10. — A very slight dilatation of the pupil was perceived,66. — The
myotic effects of the extract began to be noticed after fifteen to thirty
minutes; the maximum contraction was obtained in from thirty to forty
minutes ; the myosis continued stationary from twenty minutes to three
hours ; the action of the drug was limited to the eye to which it was ap-
plied,70.— On carefully watching the progress of the myosis (contraction of
the pupil), the iris is seen to contract convulsively with little jerks or
twitches; they are very small and rapid -jerks, and would easily escape
observation. While the iris was under the influence of Physostigma in all
6tages it was sensitive to light, that is, it would contract still more from a
sudden strong light, even when the myosis had reached a high grade; this
seems to show that the sensibility of the retina remains unaffected. The
myosis lasts from two to four days,10. — Pupils contracted (fourth, fifth, and
PHYSOSTIGMA. 475
sixth days) ; very much contracted (eighth day),*. — Pupil very much con-
tracted (after one hour),**. — Pupils contracted (second day),*2; (second
morning),47; (fourth and eighth days),48. — In about two-thirds of the cases
the pupils were contracted, and there was double vision,14. — Not only was
the pupil of the healthy eye rapidly contracted, but even the paralyzed
pupil, which, before the application, measured three and a half lines, was
contracted to two-thirds of a line (the size of a pin's head), within half an
hour after the instillation of the extract. The maximum of contraction
of the pupil was the same in each eye, but the left regained its original
size sooner ; it also always remained active under the influence of light,
whereas the right was quite immovable. The sight of the right eye also
rapidly improved, for within a quarter of an hour of the application she
could read with it the very finest print, and this whilst its pupil was two
and one-third lines in diameter. The effect *upon the ciliary muscle was
more marked in the left than in the right eye, for in the former the near
point was approximated to three inches, the far point to five and a half
inches; in the right eye the near point was never brought closer than
eight inches, nor the far point nearer than eleven inches. Stronger concave
glasses were consequently required for distant objects by the left than by
the right eye. The effect upon the accommodation also ceased much sooner
in the right than in the left eye, for in the former the myopia had disap-
peared five hours after the application, whereas six days afterwards the
sight of the left eye for distant objects was still improved by a concave
glass of thirty-six inches focus,8*. — [210.] In a woman aged twenty-four,
the sight of the right eye was so far impaired that she could only distin-
guish light from darkness, that pupil being very sluggish under the action
of light, and much larger than its fellow. I applied a drop of the weakest
solution between the lids of the right eye ; after half an hour the pupil
had become so contracted that it was only about half the size of the other
one. In an experiment on another woman, the pupil of the eye to which
the solution was applied was contracted one-half after fifteen minutes.
Third experiment: a drop of the weak solution was applied between lids
of right eye ; no visible change in the left pupil was perceptible (after
eight minutes) ; it had become slightly contracted (after twenty-three min-
utes) ; contracted to half the size of its fellow (after twenty-six minutes) ;
it was less than half as large as its fellow (after twenty-eight minutes) ;
this pupil was only about equal to a pin's head in size, the pupil of the
other eye having become larger than it had previously been (after thirty-
three minutes). Fourth experiment: I applied a drop of the weakest
solution between the lids of the right eye ; no visible change (after eight
minutes) ; pupil contracted to the size of a pin's head (after twenty min-
utes) ; very much contracted, but not to so great a degree as before (after
nine hours) ; still contracted, but almost as large as the other pupil (after
twenty -one hours). The woman first mentioned had the stronger aqueous
solution applied between the lids of the right eye ; the pupil was reduced
to the size of a pin's head (after twenty-seven minutes). A woman of
middle age had applied to left eye a drop of the weaker solution, now some
days old ; no change (after sixteen minutes) ; a drop of the stronger solu-
tion more recently made was applied ; in four minutes more the pupil was
slightly contracted, and in twenty minutes still later very much so,". —
Pupils slightly contracted,". — Accommodation. Decidedly tight feel-
ing, referable pretty accurately to the ciliary region of that eye, as if some-
thing were creeping about in it (after five minutes) ; this continued with
476 PHYSOSTIGMA.
occasional rather sharp pains in the ciliary region (after ten minutes) ; an
attempt to read with both eyes instantly increased this pain, and the type
was confused, as if by a disturbance of the power of accommodation. The
near point of the left eye (Jaeger, No. 1) was at six inches and three-
quarters, that of the right eye being fifteen inches, thus indicating a spasm
of accommodation in the left, and a diminished power in the right eye ;
with this change, the effort to look at the type or optometer with either
eye, or with both, much aggravated the sense of distress in the left eye ;
the type looked smaller with the right eye than with the left ; the far point
seemed the same as before in both eyes (after thirteen minutes). I could
see Jaeger 17 at fifteen feet, but with the left eye with a remarkable oscil-
lation in the distinctness, so that the type came and went, at one instant
quite clear, then indistinct, which coincided with the sensations present in
the ciliary region, as if the ciliary muscle was undergoing irregular con-
tractions ; the left pupil was now observed to have become rather suddenly
contracted to the size of a large pin's head (after twenty minutes) ; and to
avoid repetition, I may state that this contraction continued to the full
amount for eighteen hours, then gradually relaxed during about three days,
after which it was like its fellow ; as it gradually dilated, it also resumed
gradually its mobility under light, whether falling on its own or the oppo-
site retina, or on both ; with the sudden contraction of the pupil came also
a sudden twilight gloom, as of an eclipse of the sun, much more marked
when the left eye only was open ; but this gloom soon lessened, owing,
probably, to the retina, by continuance, becoming accustomed to the quan-
tity of light admitted, and on the next day it was hardly noticeable. The
pupil being extremely small, we noted astigmatism ; the vertical bars of a
window were seen clear and sharp at from six to ten feet, the horizontal
bars within the same range having thin edges, slightly hazy, but rendered
clear by a concave cylindrical glass of fourteen inches focus suitably placed ;
distant objects seen by the left eye through a concave spherical glass of
fifty inches focus were very decidedly diminished in size (after twenty-five
minutes). The near point by No. 1 Jaeger was for the left eye at six and
a half inches, for the right eye only at ten and a half inches, not nearer
or farther off, and even at this distance indistinct, whereas with the left
eye the letters were crisp and clear ; to this better sight of the left eye two
causes contributed, the larger size of the retinal image, from the greater
nearness of the type to the eye, and the sraallness of the pupillary aper-
ture ; with the left eye the near point for vertical lines was at eight and a
half inches, for horizontal lines at six and a half inches ; with the right
eye the near point for vertical lines was at eleven and a half inches, for
horizontal lines at seven and a half inches (after thirty hours). The
strained feeling of the eye was less after half an hour, but did not quite
cease until the next morning; the attempt to read continued painful all the
evening, and even next day both eyes were somewhat uneasy in sustained
vision of near objects with both eyes or either of them. Both eyes alike
as to accommodation, and in both the near point for vertical and horizontal
lines was one inch nearer the eye than natural, viz., for horizontal lines
near point seven inches, vertical lines near point nine inches; and at
twenty-four feet each eye could read No. 18 of Jaeger, only the letters were
more sharply defined with the left, and looked rather smaller. By way of
comparison I accurately examined the accommodation for horizontal and
vertical lines with each eye, and found both eyes alike ; the near point for
horizontal lines being nine inches, for vertical lines ten inches for each,

modation consists in the approximation of the far point (myopia), and also
of the near point ; this contraction does not usually progress steadily, but
by spasms or jerks (just as the pupil contracts); the far point is approxi-
mated sooner than the near point,10. — Daturin paralyzes accommodation
and dilates the pupil like Atropin, but Physostigma introduced after
Daturin restores the accommodation and produces strong myopia, while
the pupil is still widely dilated,19. — The accommodation recovers before the
pupil,19. — The phenomena of the accommodation lasts much shorter than
does the myosis. The approximation of the near point lasts longer than
that of the far point,10. — Vision* Can see farther than usual (is naturally
myopic), (second day).". — Double vision,15. — Vision £, with the use of a
positive cylindrical glass ^ (hyperopic astigmatism us) ; range of accom-
modation £, 5 (before the experiment) ; myopia ^ ; near point remains at
5J inches, though accommodation is reduced |, £ (after nine minutes).
From this time the myopia gradually increases, and soon a slight nearing
of the near point begins, with no trace of pain. Myopia TV ; near point
5 inches; accommodation only TV; visual acuteness diminished to § (after
twenty-two minutes).f Myopia A, £; near point, 4j inches; accommoda-
tion only T'7 ; vision very indistinct at a distance, on account of large dis-
persion circles (after thirty-two minutes). Accommodation same ; myopia
begins to diminish (after forty-four minutes). Accommodation j-; myopia
j\ ; near point the same (after forty-seven minutes). Accommodation } ;
myopia T!5 ; near point a little farther (after fifty-two minutes). Accom-
modation i ; myopia ^\ ; near point 5 inches (after one hour and fourteen
minutes). Accommodation \>\ (nearly normal); near point 5 inches;
myopia only -fa (after one hour and fifty-two minutes). The action on the
ciliary muscle seems entirely independent of the presence of the iris.
Slight biting in the conjunctiva, which passed off in a minute,11. — [220.]
When Atropin was first dropped into the eye (using a solution 4 grains
to the ounce), in an hour and a half the nearest point was, left eight
inches, right twelve inches ; then Physostigma was used, and in half an
hour could only see distinctly between six and a half and nine inches ;
after this Physostigma gradually predominated, and near vision became
distinct,19. — Visual acuteness often sinks to one-half the normal under its
use,10. — Objects distant more than one foot seem dim and indistinct ; all
objects seemed nearer and larger ; pupils unchanged (after ten minutes) ;
pupils contracted to one line in diameter (normal size, two lines) ; objects
distant more than nine inches are dim ; all objects seem one-half larger
and nearer (after twenty minutes) ; pupil two-thirds of a line (the other
pupil two and a half lines in diameter) ; no distinct vision beyond eight
inches (after thirty minutes) ; pupil one-half line (other pupil normal) ; on
reading, heaviness and fatigue of the eye ; dull aching and heaviness on
using the eyes ; eyes feel strained (after seventy minutes). In a subse-
quent experiment, concave eight enabled him to see at a distance, but not
nearer than five inches,1'. — One observer could bring his vision with perfect
clearness to the normal, but only with very great and painful exertion,10. —
Dimness of vision (after sixty minutes),1. — Sight bad at all times ; rather
dull ; clouds passing over the sun interrupt his walkiug (second day),11. —

parts of the body, as twinging pain in the fingers of the left hand (after a

stitches in the left side), (after half an hour, second day),*7. — (All old ail-
ments returned with renewed force), (sixth day),87. — Nervous motions go
not only down through the body, but through the arms, and it seems as if
a little stronger dose would make the arms move ; this time the motions
were accompanied with violent palpitation of the heart, at 3 p.m. (four-
teenth day) ; with much weakness at the pit of the stomach (fifteenth
day),88. — A strange indescribable sensation throughout the system, continu-
PHYSOSTIGMA. 497
ing many days (after half an hour),85. — For two week9 after taking the last
dose had frequent recurrence of the head, throat, hip, and knee-joint, symp-
toms, growing gradually less frequent and severe,1. — All the forenoon I
was engaged in packing a camphor-chest ; I was in the midst of crude
camphor, which suspended the symptoms entirely for the time; but very
soon afterwards, in less than an hour, they returned (fourth day),33. —
[790.] In the first action of the medicine, all the symptoms run through
two days, with one exception, that of soreness in the tongue and difficulty
of moving it ; the medicine has begun a second round or course, which has
been much longer (third day). All the symptoms are more decided, dis-
tinct, aud prolonged than the first time, and the medicine seems to act more
searchingly than in the first round, although the dose has not been repeated
(fifth day),*3. — The symptoms continued without abatement for about six-
teen hours, notwithstanding several remedies had been tried; at length the
fact that the pain seemed to be produced by hard pressure on the lower
end of the sternum, led to the selection of Arnica80, which afforded prompt
and decided relief,84'. — The chief action of this medicine seems to me to be
in the nerves ; all the other symptoms have been entirely accessory and
secondary ; and it seems to me, so far as I can judge, to have a very curi-
ous double action on the nervous system ; the nerves in front of the body
(which I believe are the? voluntary nerves, or? nerves of motion), it ap-
pears to excite to involuntary motion, causing tremblings, and going up and
down in wavelike motion, all down through ; but the nerves in the back of
the body (the? passive nerves or nerves of? sensation), it seems to paralyze
and numb, and during this numbing process it causes a good deal of pain,
very similar to a pain in a tooth when its nerve is dying or being killed,33.
— 1 he medicine seemed to act more on the left side than on the other,33. —
I think the medicine hinders voluutary motion as well as causes involun-
tary motion,33. — Better in warm room, from not moving,85. — Walking seemed
to relieve the pains, but I had not strength to contiuue any length of time
(second day), . — Worse from motion, better in the open air (after two

all night (this is never the case after having even a short nap in the after-
noon), (third day). He awoke at 6 a.m., and felt bright for two hours,
when he became sleepy again while driving, with dull pressure encircling
the head; after a light dinner, sleepiness became irresistible, and he slept
some time; went to bed early and slept well (third day) ; drowsiness all
the day, until after two hours' work in the garden, causing profuse perspira-
tion, which expelled the drowsiness in part (fourth day); felt it slightly
(fifth day),*. — Felt sleepiness while riding, for two mornings; after dinner
he felt great drowsiness, which was very difficult to shake off; his desire

not slept in the afternoon,2*. — Such sleepiness that the attempt to keep

it operates with ease and seldom occasions pain or cramp. Its disadvan-
tages are : 1. That it is slow in its effects, frequently not beginning to oper-
ate until an hour, and sometimes two hours, after it is taken. 2. That it
continues to operate for a greater length of time than is usual for emetics,
although, as far as I have been able to observe, it is readily checked by an
opiate. These disadvantages, however, are not constant; I have repeatedly

ing slightly only on desquamation, but too sore to allow any scratching for
relief, and terminating in a dark-red or purple spot, takiug about thirty
days for each to pass through its various stages of eruption and desquama-
tion, and about the same length of time to advance from the head to the
feet, so that the eruption could be seen at one time in all its stages of de-
velopment; there was no accompanying fever, no swelling. After Merc, sol.,

ways worse afterwards ; he could not lie in bed, as the heat of the bed was

PILOCARPINUM.
Pilocarpinum, muriaticum, and nitricum.
An alkaloid obtained from Pilocarpus pinnatus (Jaborandi).
Preparation, Solutions.

jections.
Head* — A sensation of throbbing in the temples frequently accompanies
the acceleration of the pulse,6.
Eye. — Increased secretion of tears,4. — Profuse lachrymation,8.— One
drop of a solution of the nitrate in the proportion of 1 to 480 was put into
the eye. In about twenty minutes the pupils were contracted to the size
of a pin's head, without pain or discomfort. Previous to the instillation
the patient was barely able to see Snellen's type 4\ at the distance of five
feet ; after the contraction of the pupil had taken place, he was able to see
easily the same type fully nine feet distant,1. — Contraction of the pupil
commenced late, lasted for twelve hours after all the other effects had
passed away (from subcutaneous injections) ; from the local application to
the eye of one drop of two per cent, solution contraction commenced in
536 PILOCARPINUM.
ten minutes ; reached its maximum in twenty to thirty minutes, lasted
about three hours, and the pupil did not return to its normal size until
after about twenty-four hours,3. — Myosis caused by local application of the
two per cent, solution; this continued after three or five minutes, and
reached its maximum in fifteen or twenty minutes, and continued two or
three hours or longer, according to the amount ; during this contraction of
the pupils there was but slight change in the refraction of the eye ; the far
point approximated somewhat, but was overcome by concave glasses of
?V to nHr '* Atropia seemed to be a perfect antidote,5.
Nose. — Increased secretion from the mucous membrane of the nose,8.
Mouth, — Very sudden salivation, without the prodromal stage ; the
secretion reached its maximum in about fifteen minutes, usually continued
an hour and a half to two hours, and amounted to from one-fourth to three-
fourths of a liter of thin saliva, very poor in specific constituents,6. — Pro-
fuse salivation accompanied the perspiration,4. — [10.] Increased secretion
of saliva occurring in from three to five minutes after the subcutaneous in-
jection, and lasting usually longer than the perspiration,1. — Increased sali-
vation (after three minutes) ; gradually increasing and reaching the maxi-
mum in about twenty minutes, then slowly decreasing,3. — In a case of lead
paralysis, it caused profuse salivation and perspiration, accompanied by a
sensation of great coldness and excessive tremors of the extremities,*.
Stomach, — Nausea occurs only when the salivation is complete ; this
nausea does not amount to vomiting, as is often the case after the infusion
of Jaborandi,*. — The violent, repeated vomiting noticed after Jaborandi,
does not occur after Pilocarpin,8.
Rectum and Anus, — Urging to stool was sometimes noticed,5.
Urinary Organs, — Increased desire to urinate,4. — Desire to urinate,
with violent pain in the urethra, without ability to pass urine ; increase of
the urinary secretion was occasionally noticed, but was not the rule,5. —
Violent dysuria, with violent pains in the penis,3. — Increased secretion of
urine, though only transient ; tne aggregate amount of urine passed during
twenty-four hours after the drug is not increased, indeed, rather diminished,4.
Sexual Organs, [20.] Menses two days earlier than usual in a
woman who menstruated regularly,5.
Respiratory Organs, — Increased secretion of bronchial mucus,
usually accompanied by moist cough and expectoration,4.
Heart and Pulse, — Weakness of the heart (after two or three
ho ure),4. — Slight acceleration of the pulse from 5 to 10 beats during the
perspiration,2. — In its primary effect it causes slight increase in the fre-
quency of the pulse, and slight diminution of the blood pressure, from
small doses ; after larger doses the pulse becomes slow, with great diminu-
tion of the blood pressure,4. — The pulse curve exhibits at first an increased
systolic elevation, a v more abrupt curve, a more sudden downfall, and a
very decided recurrent elevation ; the artery is filled rapidly and violently,
and collapses suddenly ; symptoms of relaxed tone of the vessel and ac-
celerated heart's action ; the character of the pulse-curve is most pro-
nounced after ten or fifteen minutes ; it gradually returns to the normal ;
the pulse-curve of a rather rigid and unyielding radial artery in a patient
sixty three years old was very interesting ; the elevation was stronger and
more vertical, but was not much higher than normal ; the curve did not
immediately descend after reaching its highest point, but continued for
some time almost horizontal, and then suddenly fell ; the recurrent eleva-
tion, which normally could scarcely be noticed, was now very pronounced,5.

— Increased frequency of the pulse by 10 to 20 beats, coincident with or a
little later than the salivation,6. — Diminution of the arterial tension a few
minutes after the injection, even before perspiration,8. — After the perspira-
tion the pulse falls and gradually sinks to the normal,5.
Generalities. — The dilatation of the vessels began after two or three
minutes, and lasted from half an hour to an hour, accompanied by red-
ness of the skin, and soon followed by perspiration ; there was speedily
noticed a decided swelling of the bloodvessels of both the arteries and
veins ; the temporal artery, which before the injection could scarcely be
noticed, became a thick prominent cord, with visible pulsation ; its diam-
eter doubled ; at the same time the veins in the forehead became swollen
and appeared as large blue vessels, so that as the perspiration began the
patient had the appearance of one excessively heated ; the same dilatation
is noticed in the radial arteries; the veins on the forearm and hand fre-
quently seemed swollen ; the pulse was fuller and more rapid, sometimes
decidedly dicrotic ; the pulse rose from 80 to 100, or even 120,\ — [30.]
The loss of weight, after two or three hours of copious secretion, varies
from about four and a half to nearly nine pounds,3. — Before the injection,
temperature 24.7°, pulse 104. The drug began to exhibit its effects in
forty-five minutes, when the face and chest became red, and covered with
slight perspiration ; five minutes later the whole body was covered with
profuse sweat, together with copious salivation ; temperature 37.1°, pulse
100. The salivation and perspiration lasted about five hours, after which
the patient was very thirsty, but in other respects well,1. — Exhaustion, dur-
ing which most of the patients fell asleep (after two or three hours),4.
Fever. — Chilliness. A sensation of coldness and even shaking chill
was experienced by some patients during the perspiration, though the ther-
mometer showed no fall of temperature,5. — Meat and Sweat. Increase
of temperature from £° to 1° C, in some cases, during the feeling of intense
cold,*. — The temperature was almost always increased by £° to 1°, at the
commencement of the acceleration of the pulse; it usually continued so
until the whole body was bathed in copious perspiration, then slowly re-
turned during the course of two or three hours to 1° to 2° below the
normal,5. — The forehead and face become red, the veins on the forehead
swollen, when the perspiration begins on the face and over the whole body ;
the perspiration is thin, odorless, slimy, acid, or neutral (after two to
five minutes),4.— Redness of the face, with a sensation of warmth, with per-
spiration at first over the forehead, along the margin of the hair, then ex-
tending in a short time over the face to the neck, chest, trunk, arms, and
at last over the lower extremities, continuing an hour and a half. The
patient usually loses from one to two kilogrammes in weight, during the
perspiration, which, however, he recovers after twelve or twenty-four hours,5.
— The variation in the temperature is somewhat as after an infusion of
Jaborandi; during the maximum of perspiration it fell from 0.5° to 0.6°
Cent. ; as the perspiration diminished, it gradually rose to its former height ;
this was a constant effect,8. — The temperature at first showed a slight varia-
tion of 0.1° to 0.5° in some cases, in other cases no rise at all ; as soon as
the perspirajtion began the temperature slowly sank,4. — [40.] Excessively
profuse perspiration,8. — Profuse perspiration, so that it stood in drops on
the forehead and face (after five to ten minutes),4. — Perspiration commences
later than the salivation by about ^ve minutes, occurring first on the head,
gradually extending over the whole body, often with a feeling of intense
cold, so that the patient chatters and wishes to be wrapped up; the duration
538 PIMENTA— PIMPINELLA.
of the perspiration varies, according to the size of the dose, from one to
three hours,2. — Perspiration (much less marked than from the infusion of
Jaborandi), followed by a feeling of great relief and increased vigor,'.
PIMENTA.
Pimenta officinalis, Lindl. (Myrtus pimenta, L. ; Eugenia pimenta,
D. C.)
Common names, Pimento, Allspice, Jamaica pepper (" Capsicum Jamai-
cum.")
Preparation, Tincture of the fruit.
Authority. Dr. Bechet, Journ. de la Soc. Gall., ser. Ire. 3, p. 399, effects
of 6 to 12 drops of the tincture.
They were followed by semi-lateral neuralgic lesions, especially on the
head.'— In moderate doses, it causes an appetite, or rather a very imperious
desire to eat. — Slight alterations in calorification and sensibility; thus, when
not exposed to any chilling influence, certain parts of my body felt burn-
ing hot, while other parts seemed more or less cold. This cold feeling was
peculiar ; it seemed as if a large or small sponge filled with water, more
or less cold, passed here and there over the surface of my body, and the
succeeding sensation of heat was a good deal like the cutaneous reaction
after a cold bath. A dose or two developed these symptoms in a slight
degree, but after continuing the proving for several days, they became
more striking.

PINUS LAMBERTIANA.
Pinus Lambertiana, Douglas.
Natural order, Conifera.
Common name, Sugar pine.
Preparation. Triturations of the inspissated sap.
Authority. Dr. A. P. Throop, Trans. N. Y. St. Horn. Med. Soc, 1874.
" I obtained two following facts from Miss V. V." A very small quan-
tity of the inspissated sap (which makes a sugary substance, strongly resem-
bling manna), say from the size of a pea up to a teaspoonful, produces a
decided but extremely gentle cathartic action. — (In the case of women
suffering from menstrual suppression, its remedial action is pleasant and

painless, restraining the flow, and removing any unpleasant or painful
sensations.) — In larger quantities (but just how large I have failed to
learn) the Indian squaw administers it to the pregnant women to procure
abortion. — A party of several persons gorged themselves with the sugar
found on the wounded sides of the trees, and proved by experience that it
may be taken in such quantities as to be actively and energetically ca-
thartic.

Hahn. Month., 1877, p. 617 ; 8, M. A. A. Wolff, M.D., Cal. Med. Times, 1,
p. 43, took tincture, three times a day, for about a mouth, doses 6 drops to
three and four teaspoonfuls ; 8 a, same, in let. to Editor, Feb. 1878, four
weeks after last dose took two doses of 5 drops of strong tincture ; on the
day after the last dose a series of symptoms appeared.
Mind. — When concentrated, drunkenness is almost instantaneous; with
the ordinary dose, it occurs about twenty minutes after ingestion. In a small
dose, kava is a tonic stimulating beverage, producing an agreeable excite-
ment, and affording support against great fatigue. In increased doses, this
root determines an intoxication of a sorrowful, silent, and sleepy character,
completely different from that produced by alcoholic drinks. The habit-
ual drinkers of kava take it 6ix or eight times a day, but then a nervous
trembling seizes them, and they can scarcely raise the cup to their lips,3. —
The intoxication does not last longer than two hours, but if a person only
takes it occasionally, the effects may continue twelve ; when taken at inter-
vals of some days, the intoxication continues for six hours. When made
from the root grown in damp soils, the drinker remains plunged in a deep
torpor, and becomes irritated by the least noise,8. — Often, when the dose is
too great or too small, instead of the sleep an intoxication, accompanied by
fantastic ideas and a strong desire to skip about, although one cannot for
a moment hold himself on his legs. I felt these symptoms for sixty hours
the first time I tasted this Polynesian liquor,5. — (During this week my
system was gradually u toned up,1' so that I was able to do a (for me) large
amount of miscellaneous reading after business hours, without more than
usual fatigue and with a relish. This was extraordinary, because for years
(since December, 1867) I have not indulged in light reading, it having
fatigued and brain-fogged me equally with professional reading, and my
strength, perforce, has been reserved for necessary scientific and professional
reading), . — (Have, for a long time, not gone through my daily work with
such a cheerfulness and ease as to-day), (third day),8. — Felt all day un-
usual life, vigor, and exhilaration (eighth day),6*. — At 11 p.m. have felt
satisfied and hilarious, since 10 a.m. (thirty-third day),8. — Soon after 10
p.m. felt lively and wakeful (second day),7. — Felt bright and lively after
emission (third day),7. — [10.] I feel more lively than usual; in better
spirits ; inclined to work (sixth day) ; feel lively ; can dance with more
ease than usual (seventh day),7. — Want of vigor, timid, apprehensive, dur-
ing day (second day),6*. — Feelings varying and generally depressed (ninth
day),6*. — (Capable of doing more work, without fatigue or brain-fog), (third
day),6*.
Head. — Dizziness and frontal pressure, even when lying in bed, in the
morning (seventh day),6*. — From 5 to 9 p m. unusually dizzy ; assisting at
obstetrical case, came near falling several times ; swimming sensation and
iaintness, partly produced by going past evening meal without eating, but
not all ; never had such a dizziness and swimming sensation on going with-
out food, usually a faint feeling near umbilicus or in epigastrium (seventh
day),6*. — Pains (especially of the head) relieved temporarily by turning the
mind to another topic*. — Soon felt uneasiness in the head,8. — Slight heavi-
ness in the head (fourth day),7. — Slight sensation of fulness, sometimes in
one part of brain and sometimes in another, mainly in frontal region (first,
second, or third day),6*. — [20.] To-night brain feels tired; a little rest re-
lieves the tired feeKng (seventh day),6*. — Awoke with very worn feeling of
the brain, decided brain-fog; getting on foot felt better (eighth morning),61.
544 PIPER METHYSTICUM.
— Brain-fog is spoken of during the primary or active part of the proving-;
it was then caused by an excessive use of the brain in miscellaneous read-
ing; in the latter part it was secondary or reactive effects of the drug, for
I read as much as I could stand during the first period, and abstained from
all reading as far as possible during latter part of proving,8*. — Headache
and sleepiness so great that I could hardly attend to a patient (after eight
hours and a half),8. — Dulness, fulness, and pressure in forehead, and ver-
tigo on elevating or moving the head to either side ; after the noon meal
the pressure shifted to both lateral and the occipital regions, and on lying
down increased to a considerable degree, not enough, however, to constitute
real pain ; pressure in head increased by remaining in one position, decreased
by moving; impelled by something to move cautiously, as if there was some
condition which would not admit of rapid movement; apprehensive of pain
by rapid movement, but the move being made, temporary relief, as by
slower movement (third day),*. — Head ached all night, with fulness of
frontal region (ninth night) ; aching continues ; feeling as if frontal part
of brain was solid with, pain; this ache, during the day, gradually moved
backward to base of brain and along the medulla oblongata; relieved by
slight motion, increased by large, continued, and more active motion (op-
posite of Rhus) ; slight mental effort, passing from topic to topic, for an in-
stant relieves; sustained effort increases the aching pain ; lay down this p.m.
[with head elevated (bent forward) on a hard cushion] to rest the brain ;
frontal pain decreased, occipital increased ; gravity seems to have overcome
the force of the circulation in the vessels of the brain ; vessels of neck and
base of brain full, as if circulation had been cut off by a cord ; whole back of
head, neck, and cerebellum felt congested to the brain and cord-centre; sore
inside and tender to outside pressure; all those parts of the nervous system
(head, neck, etc.) felt as if double or treble their ordinary size; I lowered my
head and straightened my neck, called for a soft pillow, caused mesmeric
passes to be made downward by sides of the head, and with frequent slight
changes of position ; in about one hour relief began to come; action of the
cerebrum weak, but clear; during the whole evening these conditions con-
tinued, gradually decreasing (tenth day),**. — After business anxieties, in the
evening, pain commenced along the middle of the forehead, proceeded out-
ward to each side of head, and after retiring at night, it followed around both
sides of the head and attacked the posterior part of the brain, medulla, etc. ;
the sensation was not extremely painful, but almost indescribable; all the
cerebellum, medulla, etc., were as if compressed by an even pressure from
every direction, especially from front to back; nervous system was forced to
its highest tension ; could not sleep first part of night, and later part only at
intervals; could lie still but a few moments at a time; seemed as if head and
neck would be compressed to death if I remained quiet long ; changed from
side to side, from back to face, and viceversd; hands sought cool places, other-
wise no perceptible increase of heat ; no thirst ; constriction extended to
chest and stomach as well as brain, though in less degree ; the drug seemed
to have affected, secondarily, the sources of animal life in cerebellum and
medulla, partially and temporarily exciting, and then, to an extent, para-
lyzing, those functions ; called up at 1 o'clock ; while moving, much re-
lieved (twelfth day). Nervous system still strung up (or on tension); con-
siderable compressive pain about back of head and cervical part of spinal
cord, gradually diminishing during the day (thirteenth day). The symp-
toms of twelfth night repeated (twentieth and twenty-ninth days). For
the last month or more I have spent Tuesday or Wednesday night of each

a.m., worse at 3 p.m. ; slept from 5 to 6 p.m., hoping to sleep the headache
away, but the pain was so distressing as to compel me to take, 6.30 p.m.,
a dose of Ntix vom.; pain being worse, took Bell. 3x; great headache at
12 p.m. (twentieth day); had disappeared when I was called at 2 a.m., then
reappeared (twenty-first day) ; gone on waking at 5 a.m. (twenty-second
day),8. — Pain over the eyes, radiating from right frontal side, just above
the eye, at 10 a.m. (twenty-fourth day),8. — Headache, with pressure in upper

half way to tip; right temporal pain not uncommon with me when fatigued
(seventh day),8*. — -Sharp shooting pains in left temple (after first dose, sec-
ond day),7. — Uneasy sensation on each side of the head over each ear, as
of pressure and weight (third day),8*. — Stitches running through left side
of the brain front to back, after 3 p.m. (second day),7. — The severe pains
and soreness in the back of the head and base of brain have gradually dis-
appeared, leaving brain (cerebellum) only sensitive; the feeling of over-size
continues, changing back and forth from frontal and occipital regions, being
sometimes most prominent on sides of bead, over ears, etc., in the temporal
regions (eleventh day),6*.
JEye and Ear. — A pain along the line of the optic nerve of the right
eye, when reading, after 3 p.m. (second day),7. — Pain in the left supraorbital
nerve (first day),7. — [50.] At 5.30 p.m., in the street, pain deep in left eye,
as if the eyeball would be pressed out; at 6 p.m., in the house, this pain
had ceased (second day),81. — At intervals, a sharp shooting pain in the left
supraorbital nerve, after 3 p.m. (second day),7. — Pressure behind the eyes
(immediately after first dose, eighth day),8. — Conjunctivas very red,*. —
While dressing, a dizzy blindness came upon me; dizziness less on closing
the eyes ; directing attention to the head and exerting the will diminished
the dizziness ; at same time, dizziness followed by rush of blood and fulness
in the frontal region, soon followed by simijar sensation in occipital and
basilar regions, soon disappearing (after two minutes, fifth day),6*. — Vision
obscured,4. — A singular pressure in lobules of pinna of left ear (immediately

by former disease, to the gums, did not cease for three or four months ; last
symptom to disappear,6*. — [60.] Sensation as if the tongue was covered with
fur or velvet (second night),8. — Sensation of burning on the tongue (after
a few seconds),8. — Awoke from afternoon nap with great dryness in the

Stomach . — During some of the proving, noticeably a day or two pre-
vious and succeeding to the ninth day, took in food with a sort of ravenous
haste; no taste of food, but a nervous ravenousness would have impelled
me to swallow anything with an abnormal avidity,8*. — [70.] At noon meal,
appetite unusually good, but food had not the usual relish or taste (third
day),8*. — Very hungry, but not able to eat much, at 12 m.; for supper, was

night, eructations and sensation at throat- pit and root of tongue so disagree-
able, took Puis.1 to relieve, with some effect (ninth day),8*. — Stomach
bloated, 11 p.m. (nineteenth day),8. — Warmth in stomach succeeded swal-

ability to think, with restlessness at night (seventh night),'. — From the fif-
teenth to the twenty -first day I have ceased to take notes, for the reason
that my mind has been in such a confused state, and a disrelish as well as a
great difficulty for any abstract reflection or mental exercise of any kind,
that I have found it too difficult. I might say, however, that the symp-
toms, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first day, were, in their general fea-
tures, the same as on the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth ; if any differ-
ence, the nervous and cerebral continued to increase in their severity until
the twenty-first day, which, as well as during the whole proving, were
worse in the evening, and gradually increased in severity until next morn-
ing, with some exceptions; but whether these exceptions assumed the same
regularity as I find on examining my notes of the first six or eight days,
namely, worse two successive nights and better the third, I am not able to
say. On the thirtieth day, my mind is still confused, making study, for
any length of time, impossible,4. — Mind confused, and entirely unable to
