You know the kind of man, calls the thing the 'Ipecacuanha, of all silly, infernal names; though when there's much of a sea without any wind, she certainly acts according." "You were nearly dead," said my interlocutor. "It was a very near thing, indeed. But I've put some stuff into you now. Notice your arm's sore? Injections. You've been insensible for nearly thirty hours." I thought slowly.
Of Ipecacuanha, he says, "This is now in its reign; the most fashionable vomit." "I am not sorry that antimonial emetics begin to be disused." He quotes "Mr. Lock" as recommending red poppy-water and abstinence from flesh as often useful in children's diseases.
To relieve this disagreeable feeling he was in the habit of taking a copious draught of an infusion of "blessed thistle" and ipecacuanha. One day, about 10.30 in the evening, when he had taken no supper, but had eaten a rather hearty dinner, he was bothered by a peculiar sensation in his stomach, and to relieve this he swallowed about three tumbler-fuls of his usual infusion, but to no avail.
"On examining the file of prescriptions at the hospital, I discovered that they were rudely written, and indicated a treatment, as they consisted chiefly of tartar emetic, ipecacuanha, and epsom salts, hardly favorable to the cure of the prevailing diarrhoea and dysenteries."
