It takes a very moderate amount of erudition to unearth a charlatan like the supposed father of the infinitesimal dosing system. The real inventor of that specious trickery was an Irishman by the name of Butler. The whole story is to be found in the "Ortus Medicinm" of Van Helmont.
Tom darted across the room, threw open the door, and became aware of Mrs. Botherby toddling to her chamber, at the other end of the gallery, after dosing one of the housemaids with an approved julep from the Countess of Kent's "Choice Manual." "Good-night, sir!" said Mrs. Botherby. "Go to the d l!" said the disappointed ghost-hunter.
He doesn't see a woman as anything but a patient at the end of a spoon, and mighty kind and gentle he does the dosing of them, too. Just the other day dearie me, Judy, what has boiled over now?" And in the excitement that ensued I escaped to the garden. Yes, Aunt Bettie is right about Doctor John; he doesn't see a woman, and there is no way to make him.
It is a character of the man that he was not only perpetually dosing himself with Golden Oil, but wherever there was a head aching or a finger cut, there would be Jones with his bottle. If he had one taste more strongly than another, it was to study character.
The clock struck seven inside the house, and Pete, pipe in hand, swung over to the gate. No need to-night to watch for the postman's peak, no need to trace his toes. "A letter for you, Mr. Quilliam." Hearing these words, Pete, his eyes half shut as if dosing in the sunset, wakened himself with a look of astonishment. "What? For me, is it? A letter, you say?
Montgomery," said Paul, who had come up unperceived. "You stole that ring from me this morning, after dosing me with chloroform at Lovejoy's Hotel." "It is a lie," said the adventurer, boldly. "That boy is my son. He is in league with his mother to rob me. She sent him here this morning unknown to me. Finding it out, I took the ring from him, and brought it here myself."
He was told that she had been dosing herself, and he was shown a packet which had been in her possession. It contained substances that looked like kermes-mineral, some saffron, and a white powder that amounted to perhaps ten grammes. He had disliked Helene at first sight. His father fell violently ill in turn, seemed to get better, and looked like recovering.
Both were in the habit of dosing themselves with the Jenkins pearls, a dangerous remedy witness Mora, so quickly carried off. "My poor duke!" said Jansoulet. "A great loss to the country," remarked the banker with an air of conviction. And the Nabob added naively: "For me above all, for me; for, if he had lived Ah! what luck you have, what luck you have!"
Brownlow who at once detected that there had been much of this dosing, and drew forth the fact. It had probably been done whenever it was expedient that he should be hidden, or unable to make any appeal to outsiders.
The doctors can't stop it; they don't even know what it is. They only know that he's fading away turning from a strong, virile old man into a thin, nervous, shivering wreck. But I know! I know! They're dosing him somehow with some diabolical Javanese thing, those two.
