He has kindly given me maps of the city, with every case marked down, with street and number, for all the epidemic. Hypodermic injections of atropine and morphine have failed sadly in many cases. Subcutaneous injections of large quantities of salt and water, with some soda, and large rectal injections of tannin and laudanum have been very successful in Italy.
Well, she would try not to want him! There lay all the old expedients at her hand the rouge for her white lips, the atropine for her blurred eyes, the new dress on her bed, the thought of Strefford and his guests awaiting her, and of the conclusions that the diners of the Nouveau Luxe would draw from seeing them together.
In one of these cases, a lady of 70, I used atropine also in the other eye, but the tension of that eye remained normal, 22 to 24 mm., throughout.
I tried to look wise, but all I could think of was that, whatever his science showed me now, my instinct had been enough to prompt me not to smoke those cigarettes, though, of course, only Kennedy's science could tell what it was that caused that instinctive aversion. "They are all like atropine, mydriatic alkaloids," he proceeded, "so called from the effect they have on the eye.
A short time afterward there appeared a paper by Schmidt which again asserted the identity of daturine and atropine. I therefore requested Mr. Merck, of Darmstadt, to send me all the bases which he obtained from datura.
'What do you think, Peters? I said: 'any more pains? 'Well, perhaps you had better give us another quarter, he answered: 'there's still some trouble in the tummy off and on. 'A quarter-grain, then, Clodagh, 'I said. As she opened the syringe-box, she remarked with a pout: 'Our patient has been naughty! He has taken some more atropine. I became angry at once.
I thought it as well, therefore, to recommence the study of daturine, the more so as I had already determined the incorrectness of the long accepted point of fusion of atropine, and that my researches on hyoscyamine convinced me that this base is an isomer of atropine, although very analogous to it. I have also shown that Merck's daturine differs from atropine, and is merely pure hyoscyamine.
"Will," Clodagh? I cried. 'You say "will"? there is not even the slightest shadow of a probability ! 'But why? There are still three weeks before the start. They say... She stopped, she stopped. 'They say what? Her voice dropped: 'That Peter takes atropine. Ah, I started then. She moved from the window, sat in a rocking-chair, and turned the leaves of a book, without reading.
Toluene, alcohol, and chloroform all dissolve atropine readily. Its double gold salt is very characteristic. It is generally precipitated in the form of an oil which solidifies rapidly and may be crystallized from hot water after the addition of a little hydrochloric acid.
Toward one that night, his footman ran to knock me up with the news that Peters was very ill. I hurried to his bed-side, and knew by the first glance at his deliriums and his staring pupils that he was poisoned with atropine. Wilson, the electrician, who had passed the evening with him at Clodagh's in Hanover Square, was there. 'What on earth is the matter? he said to me. 'Poisoned, I answered.
