Page 215 - M., thirty minims of somnal (or rather a drachm of a mixture of equal parts of somnal and whiskey), well diluted, and went into an adjoining room to speak to an attendant. Upon my return I was surprised to find him fast asleep, although I had not been away from him more than fifteen minutes. He slept for four hours, and then was able to take something to eat.

Page 125 - Alterans, and have much pleasure in bearing testimony to its great value. For diseases having their origin in a syphilitic source, I believe Succus Alterans to be the one reliable specific, for I may add that invariable success has been met with by me when prescribing the remedy in question, even after the failure of other alteratives.
