Starting and screaming, and drugged with sal-volatile, I got through that night of supernatural terror, and saw the blessed light of heaven again.

Mr. Pendennis's manners were so uncommonly gentlemanlike and soothing, that her ladyship, the wife of Sir Pepin Ribstone, of Codlingbury, in the county of Somerset, Bart., appointed her preserver, as she called him, apothecary to her person and family, which was very large.
"It would have been a miracle if she had not; but if I had known the interview was to be followed by such unpleasant consequences I shouldn't have asked her down. I was wandering about for hours looking for an imaginary bottle of sal-volatile Jane described as being in her sitting-room: and Jane herself was up till late or rather early this morning, trying to soothe Mrs.

I would recommend early hours; country air and exercise; the stays, if worn at all, to be worn slack; attention to diet; avoidance of wine, beer, spirits, excitement, and fashionable amusements.
That's sal-volatile for you, child, I perceive," continued she to Belinda. "O, you can walk now but remember you are on slippery ground: remember Clarence Hervey is not a marrying man, and you are not a married woman." "It is perfectly indifferent to me, madam," Belinda said, with a voice and look of proud indignation.
