Now, it is necessary that all plants intended to be used in a dried state, should be prepared and protected in a similar manner; and although it may be considered as a superfluous trouble, so far as regards the more common kinds, particular attention should be paid to these, when a small quantity is a dose, and an over-dose a certain poison.
The girl was standing by the tea-table just pouring out a cup of tea for Miss Leigh she started so nervously that the cup almost fell from her hand. "Dead!" she repeated, in a low, stifled voice. "Lady Blythe? Dead?" "Yes! it is awful! That horrid veronal! Such a dangerous drug! It appears she was accustomed to take it for sleep and unfortunately she took an over-dose.
What other people think well of, we certainly have a right to like, ourselves. All this self-exaltation, which some folks make so much scandal of, is the most natural thing in the world when one gets an over-dose of fair words. The more I reflect upon it, the more I am convinced that it is well for a man to think too highly of himself while he is in the working state.
But there are many signs, economic and other, that we can no longer play Gargantua and continue a healthy nation. An unwise engineer sometimes over-stokes his boilers, and courts disaster. Is it not equally possible that national welfare may suffer from an over-dose of human fuel in our industry?
There is enough here now," taking an old tea-pot from Mr. Krook, "to kill a dozen people." "Do you think he did it on purpose?" asks Krook. "Took the over-dose?" "Yes!" Krook almost smacks his lips with the unction of a horrible interest. "I can't say. I should think it unlikely, as he has been in the habit of taking so much. But nobody can tell. He was very poor, I suppose?" "I suppose he was.
Was anybody present related to him?" glancing round upon the three bystanders. "I was his landlord," grimly answers Krook, taking the candle from the surgeon's outstretched hand. "He told me once I was the nearest relation he had." "He has died," says the surgeon, "of an over-dose of opium, there is no doubt. The room is strongly flavoured with it.
"That is, an over-dose of brandy was the immediate cause of the fit, and the continued use of stimulants through many years the cause of the paralysis. It is just another instance of a rum murder that's hard language, but it's true and the son is fearfully predisposed to follow in his father's footsteps. I fear for him." "Pliny has overcome that predisposition at last, I hope and trust.
Had this happened to him by an over-dose of honey when a child, all the same effects would have followed; but the cause would have been mistaken, and the antipathy counted natural. Influence of association to be watched educating young children.
Dick Crawford, if you ever die and I suppose you will, some time you will commit suicide by taking an over-dose of low spirits!" How flippantly the wild girl spoke! and yet she was right, and Dick Crawford felt that she was right. She was right, too, as to the suicide of low spirits.
"For the reason that the stuff I use in my powder and this new gun-cotton neutralized one another," the young inventor explained. "One weakened the other, instead of making a stronger combination. A chemical change took place, and lucky for us it did. It was just like a man taking an over-dose of poison it defeated itself. That's why my experiment was a failure.
