In honor of its sponsor, Botany has named the plant Nicotiana tabacum, and Chemistry distinguished as Nicotin its active alkaloid. Sir Francis Drake first brought tobacco to England about 1586. It owed the greater part of its early popularity, however, to the praise and practice of Raleigh: his high standing and character would have sufficed to introduce still more novel customs.
We've been hiding there since immediately after the discarnation feast of the Lord Garnon of Roxor." "What happened, after the feast?" Verkan Vall wanted to know. "Well, you know how the Lady Dallona and Dr. Harnosh of Hosh had this telepathic-sensitive there, in a trance and drugged with a zerfa-derivative alkaloid the Lady Dallona had developed.
F., having a formula according to them of C H NO . They have also studied the splitting up of the alkaloid by means of baryta water, and have obtained an acid which they have named hyoscinic acid, and which melts at about 219 deg. F., and a basic body, hyoscine, C H N. They represent the reaction as follows: C H NO = C H O + C H N.
One day the professor was lecturing on poisions, and he showed his students some alkaloid, as he called it, which he had extracted from some South American arrow poison, and which was so powerful that the least grain meant instant death. I spotted the bottle in which this preparation was kept, and when they were all gone, I helped myself to a little of it.
The latter of these products is already shown to be capable of synthetical formation, and the other will no doubt be formed in the same way. The artificial atropine is identical with the natural alkaloid.
Faraday Little smiled in the superiority of boyhood over girlhood. "I allude to the classification. That plant is the belladonna, or deadly nightshade. Its alkaloid is a narcotic poison." Sauciness turned pale. "I have just eaten some!" And began to whimper. "Oh dear, what shall I do?" Then did it, i. e., wrung her small fingers, and cried. "Pardon me one moment."
'Such doings, young man, said I. 'I've read, said I, 'that some German I've forgotten his name has created from the human brain a new kind of alkaloid, idiotine. What do you think? He believed it, and there was positively an expression of respect on his face, as though to say, 'See what we fellows can do! And the other day I went to the theatre. I took my seat.
And the fact is, I believe, that a number of cases have arisen, in which the poisonous alkaloid was at first supposed to have been discovered which were really mistakes." The idea was startling in the extreme.
The alkaloid may be separated by the process of Stas-Otto. Tests.
The discovery filled him with a peculiar, bitter annoyance, as if an alkaloid fluid ran through his veins: and this not because of the loss, which was comparatively insignificant, but because he had failed, because he had been ignominiously beaten by the bank.
