Página 305 - Keen, and^Morehouse 2 on the other, the committee conclude from five original experiments of their own, " that in dogs sulphate of atropia modifies the symptoms of poisoning by meconate of morphia, diminishes their intensity, and may even save life after a fatal dose of the latter. It is therefore decidedly antagonistic, but within a limited area. In man sulphate of atropia would be too dangerous and uncertain a remedy to depend on in cases of poisoning by opium or any of its salts, but where the...
Página 304 - The inferences drawn from experiments on rabbits are the following : — 1. Sulphate of atropia is physiologically antagonistic to meconate of morphia within a limited area. 2. Meconate of morphia does not act beneficially after a large dose of sulphate of atropia, for in these cases the tendency to death is greater than if a large dose of either substance had been given alone. 3. Meconate of morphia is not specifically antagonistic to the action of sulphate of atropia on the vaso-inhibitory nerves...

The cover of the root, according to its value, was silk, either embroidered or plain; cotton cloth, or paper.
Página 319 - ... Schmiedeberg and Koppe describe an experiment in which the use of this antidote during the death-struggle completely restored a dog which had been poisoned by muscarin. They, therefore, recommend that in cases of poisoning by mushrooms, the stomach should be emptied and then atropia injected subcutaneously. It is a curious circumstance that, in poisoning by mushrooms, tickling the fauces seems to prove much more efficacious in producing vomiting than the administration of tartar emetic. The antidote...
Página 271 - China the ginseng is often sent to friends as a valuable present; in such cases, "accompanying the medicine is usually given a small, beautifully-finished double kettle, in which the ginseng is prepared as follows. The inner kettle is made of silver, and between this and the outside vessel, which is a copper jacket, is a small space for holding water. The silver kettle, which fits on a ring near the top of the outer covering, has a cup-like cover in which rice is placed with a little water; the ginseng...
Página 232 - Several varieties of the plant are cultivated in Mexico, each being known for the greater or lesser quantity of the juice it produces, its colour, whether yellow or greenish, its thickness, or sweet or bitter taste. These variations as to the properties or consistency of the juice depend a great deal upon the nature of the soil, and of the range of temperature ; thus, it is the least mucilaginous in a somewhat clayey soil, and is cultivated with the greatest success at an elevation of about 9000...
Página 366 - Dissolve the remainder of the hypophosphite of lime with the hypophosphites of sodium and potassium in four fluid ounces of water, with the aid of heat, adding the remainder of the hypophosphorous acid.

Then add the camphor, previously reduced with alcohol to a thin paste, and agitate briskly. Oil of turpentine is then to be added in sufficient quantity, to bring the mixture to the consistence of a cream, on brisk agitation ; after which the tincture of opium and oil of origanum are to be added, — then the whole is to be thoroughly mixed....
