Still, in a rain-drop just formed we have very nearly pure water; but even this contains dissolved air to the extent of about one-fiftieth of its volume, and as the drop falls downward it takes up such impurities as may be floating in the atmosphere; so that if our rain-drop is falling immediately after a long drought, it becomes charged with nitrate or nitrite of ammonia and various organic matters perhaps also the spores or germs of disease.
"I do," she said, with her eyes resting on his; "thank you for all. I shall expect you au revoir." As they went down the stairs he said to the Baron, "Remember, absolute repose is necessary. With that you are safe enough for to-night. But you may possibly need more of the nitrite of amyl. My vial is empty. I will write the prescription, if you will allow me."
It has been recommended in asphyxia from drowning, hanging, and in asphyxia of the new born, but the first indication in these cases is the induction of artificial respiration, after the successful initiation of which inhalations of nitrite of amyl doubtless assist in overcoming the concomitant spasm of the smaller arteries.
Shirley took Helene's arm, and the officer nodded. "I'll send for the wagon, sir. They're some pickled. Good-night." As they walked up to the nearest car crossing, Helene turned to him with her surprise unabated. "What did you do to them, Mr. Shirley?" "Merely crushed a small vial of Amyl nitrite which I thoughtfully put in my handkerchief this afternoon.
There were no dishes on the long table; but at the head of it two chairs; and at the foot, one; and in front of that, lying on the table, a folded bit of paper. Carmichael picked it up and opened it. It was his prescription for the nitrite of amyl. He hesitated a moment; then refolded the paper and put it in his vest-pocket.
The quantity may be increased, if necessary, until symptoms of cerebral congestion show themselves, when the drug should be momentarily or permanently discontinued. Usually from three to five or ten drops are sufficient, sometimes even less. Kurz has met with no unpleasant consequences, much less serious complications, from the application of nitrite of amyl.
All the derivatives of opium such as morphine, codeine, heroine, dionine, narceine, and narcotine, to say nothing of bromure d'etyle, bromoform, nitrite d'amyle, and amyline are known to be utilised by the endormeurs to put their victims to sleep, and the skill which they have acquired in the use of these powerful drugs establishes them as one of the most dangerous groups of criminals in existence.
"I was struck by the handkerchief's appearance." Mrs. Brewster turned it over. "In what way is the handkerchief unique?" she asked, laughing. "Because Jimmie Turnbull crushed amyl nitrite capsules in its mate just before he died," explained Kent quietly.
Aconite and veratrum viride are now rarely indicated, although possibly aconite should be used when there is high tension and the heart is acting irritably and stormily. In diseases of the heart the sudden vasodilation caused by amyl nitrite inhalations is indicated only in angina pectoris.
"Amyl nitrite." Stone spoke with decision. "I could detect its presence by the fruity, pleasant odor which always accompanies the drug's use." "Ah!" The exclamation slipped from Mrs. Brewster. "Is the drug administered in water?" "No, it is inhaled take care, you have dropped your handkerchief."
