Chloral. Chronic poisoning with. After the prolonged use of hydrate of chloral, the following diseased conditions have been observed:

1. Skin eruptions: Erythema, Roseola spots upon forehead, nose, neck, cheeks which after a while become confluent but disappear again. A papulous exanthema, or urticaria are rarer. In some cases the skin becomes œdematous.

Similar changes were observed upon the visible mucous membranes: The conjunctivæ bulbi the mucous membranes of pharynx and larynx become red and swollen; decubitus with red spots on pressure, with much lessened sensibility. These spots become darker,covered with blisters, and afterwards gangrenous.

Also swelling of parotid and submaxillary glands, together with uticaria were produced (after 1 gramme for 14 days.)

2. Disturbed respiration, which may be increased to dyspnoea.

3. Alterations in the blood: Blood poisoning like scorbutus with continual fever, skin-eruption, edema, abscesses on different parts of the body and continuing diarrhoea.

Also wandering rheumatoid pains have been observed after prolonged use of Chloral. (Walter Coles, Internat. Hom. Presse, 1876, p. 546.)

In each instance where the membrane surrounding the embryo was given in doses of half an ounce, preceded and followed by a dose of castoroil, the tape-worm was expelled entire. When the entire seed is used, much inert matter is employed. This membrane contains a resin, which Mr. Heckel believes to be the active agent, also chlorophyle. The seeds also contain a fixed oil which has been used

with success in repeated half ounce doses in cases of tænia. (O. M. and S R., 1876, p. 41.)

Digitalis. Poisoning by. (P. K. Guild, Mass. Trans., vol. IV., p 30.)

Death probably due to employment of. (Bib. Hom., vol. VIII., p. 239.) What we really know of the action of Digitalis is confined to the changes in the functions of the heart and blood-vessels. It is an undoubted fact that the frequency of the pulse is reduced by Digitalis. There can be no doubt that the retardation of the

pulse is due to irritation of the vagus. The

final cessation of the heart, the true cause of death in poisoning by Digitalis, is caused by great diminution or entire destruction of the irritability of the cardiac muscle. Along with the above-mentioned effects comes a secondary change, transient it is true; this consists in a considerable increase in the arterial blood pressure. If we inject a solution of Digitalin into the jugular vein of a rabbit whose abdomen has previously been opened, we may plainly observe a narrowing of calibre in the arteries of the mesentery. That by contraction of a great number of the small arteries the blood pressure should be increased in the large arteries is a well-established fact; and hence we may conclude that the increased blood pressure in the arterial system after Digitalin is caused, at least in part, by this contraction. The most interesting effects of large doses of Digitalin are in the changes in the tem perature of the body. The decrease in temperature in the interior of the body, after Digitalin, is caused by accumulation of the blood-stream through the periphery. If

we remember that the small arteries in the interior are narrowed by Digitalin, while those leading to the periphery are of the usual size, we have a simple explanation of the increase of temperature upon the surface and the decrease within the body.
