Secretion of saliva began to increase (after five minutes); the saliva for a time required almost constant ejection; the secretion of this from the glands in the cheeks caused a kind of collapsed feeling in the; saliva distinctly alkaline, measured 16 ounces in addition to that which flowed on the pillow while I slept. Profuse secretion of saliva. Salivation sets in (after fifteen minutes). Salivation commences (after twenty minutes), and in a few minutes after, the mouth is literally flowing with water; this continues for four or five hours, and during that period from 10 to 16 ounces of fluid may be easily collected. (60). сommencement of salivation (after fifteen minutes); increased salivation (after twenty minutes); salivation has been diminishing for ten minutes (after one hour and fifty five minutes); no salivation (after three hours and five minutes).

Salivation profuse (after thirty five minutes, and one hour and a half); action of salivary glands still continuing (after three hours and a half); total amount of saliva 13 fluid ounces. Salivation and perspiration continued to be profuse until my sight became blurred. There was some salivation in all the experiments, and in two cases it was profuse; but in the lad on whom two observations were made the effect on the salivary glands was very slight. The salivation was much more profuse in the lad whose skin remained dry. The salivation, when it occurred to a marked extent, began simultaneously with the sweating, was greatest when the sweating was most profuse, and lasted as long as the sweating. When the increase of the saliva was but slight, it was difficult to tell when the increase began, or how long it lasted. In the case of the lad who failed to perspire, the salivation became profuse in fifteen minutes, and so continued during three hours and a quarter, and then in a less degree for seven hours. Flow of saliva (after ten minutes).

During the forenoon my throat felt dry and inflamed; everything swallowed caused a scraping sensation; in the afternoon the inflammation increased; the tonsils were slightly swollen and the jaws a little stiff; this soreness lasted for two days (seventh day). Quite a sore throat, smarting pain; headache, dull pain, mostly on the left side; breathing hurried; the sore throat and headache lasted all day and evening till I went to bed (twelfth day); the next morning the headache had gone, but my throat felt so sore that for a time I seriously feared an attack of diphtheria; it gradually wore off, however, during the day, and the next day I was quite well.

M., stool; felt a little weak at night, having had eleven copious, watery, undigested stools since 7 p.m (twelfth day). сontinues to have from five to ten stools a day, of a yellow color, and watery, painless. Took two small doses of Gummi gutt., 3D trit., which cured the diarrhoea), (sixteenth day). Five painless stools during the day yellow, thin, watery, better digested (fourteenth day).

Felt squeamish, although I was able to attend to business (second day). Sickness (in both cases). Sickness of the stomach (after three hours and a half). Was sick and vomited a quantity of saliva which I had swallowed (after one hour and a half); putting my finger into my mouth vomiting was further excited, until a portion of the Jaborandi returned. They were a little sick, faint, and prostrate. Vomited half an hour after eating supper. In some cases vomiting is produced, either at the beginning or end of the effect. The lad who failed to perspire vomited; the vomiting came on suddenly and was not repeated. Stomach. Distress at the stomach (which may be owing to the alcohol in the tincture, ore than to the jaborandi); it is a burning pain, not that dyspeptic ache experienced yesterday (fifth day). сonsiderable distress, both in the stomach and lower half of oesophagus, especially the latter feels constricted, aching heavily (took Pulsatilla 1st, at 3 P.

Dull, heavy distress in the pyloric portion of the stomach, as though some hard indigestible substance was lying there, relieved by eating a full meal, at dinner time (fourth day). сonstrictive feeling in the stomach, as though the rugae were puckered up (probably owing to the alcohol of the tincture, as it was taken clear), (seventh day).

 Burning in the urethra in two cases, with urging to urinate. Secretion of urine increased (750 c. c. during the perspiration). When administered in fractional doses, jaborandi does not produce either perspiration or salivation, but becomes a powerful diuretic. The quantity of urine diminished in a very noticeable manner on the day the remedy is administered, but on the next day there is sometimes a slight augmentation, sometimes the usual amount. Urine dark colored. The urea diminishes on the day the Jaborandi is given, increases slightly again on the next day, and then falls to the normal amount. сhlorine and the chlorides, as well as the uric acid, also undergo the same quantitative changes, and diminish on the first day only to in crease on the second. Augmentation of the bronchial secretions (after ten minutes). We noticed an increase of the bronchial secretion, indicated by a loose cough, only in the lad previously quite free from catarrhal symptoms, on whom two observations were made, and in whom but a slight increase of salivary secretion occurred; the bronchial secretion was much abundant in the first than in the second observation; indeed, in the second there was very little cough. Hurried breathing (after two hours, nineteenth day). вreathing hurried, during the soreness of throat (twelfth day).

 Pains in chest and around the heart (forty fifth day). сould not get to sleep for two hours after going to bed, on account of anxious and oppressed feeling in the chest (eleventh day). Pressure on chest, and great anxiety, with palpitation of heart, and pain in region of heart (twenty fourth day). Sense of heavy pressure on the chest, hurried beating, and great prostration; symptoms became so bad that I was obliged to go to bed; for half an hour after going to bed could only breathe with great difficulty (forty fifth day). Pains in chest, of a stitching character (after two hours, thirty seventh day).

 Precordium. Pain in region of heart (twenty fourth day). The pains about the heart were very severe, accompanied with severe palpitation; this condition lasted two hours in its severest form, then gradually abated (forty fifth day). Heart’s Action. Palpitation of heart (after two hours, nineteenth day). Pulse. Tracing № 1 represents the normal pulse of the subject; its general aspect is rectilinear, excepting a very slight curve corresponding to a respiratory movement; the ascending line is short and somewhat oblique; the descending line nearly horizontal; the natural dicrotism is well marked. At the commencement of sweat the pulse become more rapid, and the tracing assumes a different appearance; its general outline becomes a little crooked; the rising line is larger and more upright; the descending line, therefore, more oblique, with more of the diacrotic character. At the height of the sweating period, the general outline becomes strikingly irregular; moreover, the beats are no longer isochronous, some being shorter than others. When the morbid activity of the secretory organs has passed off, the general outline becomes regular again, but the ascending line is shorter and more oblique, the descending line longer and nearly horizontal, with hardly a trace of exaggerated dicrotism. Sphygmographic tracings, taken at different stages of the administration of this drug, showed almost complete asystole, with a very noticeable diminution of vascular tension during the sweating stage. Pulsation was quickened while the action of the medicine lasted (in both cases). In each experiment the pulse became considerably quicker, the increase varying from forty to fifty minutes; the pulse reached its quickest in twenty five to eighty minutes after administration; the quickened pulse continued more than four hours; no close relation existed between the rapidity of the pulse and the fall of temperature; in one lad whose pulse was intermittent, the medicine entirely removed this irregularity. At the moment the sweat was produced, there was an increase of the pulse and of temperature; then during the period of active sweating, it was sometimes noted that these two elements remained at the same point as at the outset of the experiment; sometimes there was a slight diminution; but after sweating, a very notable lowering of the pulse and of the temperature were observed, which sometimes lasted two days after the experiment (in thirty two experiments). Pulse rose from 88 to 120. Pulse rose from 12 to 20 beats during the first few hours (the reverse of temperature), and returned to its normal rate with the return of the normal temperature, but became soft and compressible. Pulse 108 (normal 80), (half an hour after 80 drops), (seventh day). Pulse 100 (temperature normal, at 6 P. M. (twelfth day). Pulse 94 (an increase of 14 from 150 drops of the tincture taken within an hour), (ninth day). (140). Pulse 96 (when first noted), 104 (afterwards); 88 on awaking (second morning), normally 80.
