Rouhier (_op. cit._, 228, 231) places peyotline in the strychnine group; it has a narcotic and tetanic effect on animals, to be sure, but in man, according to Jolly, it causes slight hypnosis, but no anaesthesia. Schmiedeberg puts it in the morphine group, which we have followed (cf. Kobert, _Lehrbuch_, 1009). [3] Henry (T. A.), _The Plant Alkaloids_, 199; Rouhier, _op. cit._, 238; Dixon (W. E.), _The Physiological Action_, 71. [4] Condensed from Rouhier, _op. cit._, 227-32. Note “pellotine” is the same as “peyotline.” [5] Henry, _loc. cit._ Staub and Grassmann (_Über die Wirkungsgrenze_, 336) state, in dogs, increased heart-beat and pressure. [6] Rouhier, _op. cit._, 231. I have modified and added to Rouhier’s classifications. Ellis (_Mescal: A New Artificial Paradise_) describes the effects on the central nervous system as “acute cerebrasthenia.” The lethal dose of anhalonine hydrochloride for rabbits is 0.16 to 0.2 grams per kilogram of body weight; lophophorine kills frogs by a dose of only 0.011 grams per kilogram of body weight. (Henry, _op. cit._, 199). [7] Dixon (W. E.), _The Physiological Action_, 79-81. Rouhier (_op. cit._, 268-69): “Intoxication by peyote in man comprises two very distinct phases, one, general superexcitement, contentment; euphoria, the other of nervous sedation, of more or less accentuated physical indolence, and of hypocerebrality; this last phase is almost entirely filled with the production of color-visions.” Henry (_op. cit._, 199) likens this preliminary stage to alcoholic intoxication. [8] Fernberger (_Observations_, 270) mentions “a very clear but rapidly changing focus of attention”; see also his _Further Observations_, 367. Crichtly (_Some Forms_, 102) notes the “rapidity of change,” though visions “lasted many hours.” It is in this that the “indescribability” of the visions lies (Ellis, _Mescal: A New Artificial Paradise_). [9] Fernberger (_Observations_, 269) notes “distortion of time and space”; and (_Further Observations_, 367) a “grave upsetting of space and time ... space was extremely extended and time extremely slowed.” Maggendorfer (_Intoxikationspsychosen_, 355-56) notes for mescaline a time and space derangement, similar to those in other “intoxikationpsychosen.” Crichtly (_op. cit._, 105) describes micropsia and megalopsia, or gravely deranged perception of size. [10] In these careful statements by Dixon (on a subject not notable for the accuracy of all observers) many physiological bases for ethnographic observations I have made may be found, e.g., the mistaking in a Kiowa meeting of the medicine-man Tonakat by an informant for a hideous alligator-like monster; he believed then he had seen this witch “for what he was.”
