she thought they would burst.… Another woman said she thought she would have died after taking a dose; it threw her into a violent perspiration, and in less than five minutes her lips turned quite black and throbbed for hours; it upset her so much that she was afraid she would never get over it. The only one of the fourteen patients who made no complaint after taking ten grains was powerfully affected by fifteen.… The effect on these patients was so unpleasant that it was deemed unadvisable to increase the dose.”--_Lancet_, Nov. 3, 1883. “In addition to these observations on patients, I made six temperature experiments on rabbits, but the results obtained were simply nil. I soon found--a fact with which I was previously acquainted--that, in those animals, fright exerts a marked influence on the temperature.”--_Handbook of Therapeutics_, p. 516. “Dr. Rickards and I gave to an habitual drunkard, making him ‘dead drunk,’ twelve ounces of good brandy in a single dose, without the slightest reduction of temperature.” “In a boy aged ten, who had never in his life before taken alcohol in any form, I found, through a large number of observations, a constant and decided reduction of temperature.”--_Ibid._, pp. 340-1. =Roberty, O.=, 4, Place de la Corderie, Marseilles.
