Materia Medica V.1 Volume 1, PT. 2 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1858 edition. Excerpt: ...a larger quantity might not cure the disease.

These will some times b%cured to all appearance wholly, but return again in a short time after the suspension of the use of the remedy, at least in a moderate degree, and this several times in succession. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to resume the remedy for a short period. In one case I was obliged to continue the remedy for a twelve-month, with the result of a complete cure. From these facts it will be readily understood how important it must be to employ the medicine, in such doses and quantities as will permit its long continuance. Can a mere and pure Adenagic operation be exerted in such a degree as to constitute noxious, deleterious, poisonous, or in one word, dangerous effects; and can it be made to extinguish life? This question is not as easily answered as might at first view be imagined. The simple and pure Adenagics are in general feeble articles; while the more active ones have other powers conjoined, of such a character and in such a degree, as to prevent our distinguishing the exhaustion of the one, from that of the other. After much attention to the subject and long investigation, I have at last come to the conclusion that there is such a thing as Ultimate-Adenagy; i. e. Adenagic effects beyond the medicinal grade, which if produced with sufficient intensity, and continued long enough, may prove injurious, dangerous, ..
