We performed another series of experiments in which the drug used was dolantin. The madness produced is the same as in the case of morphine. The cat moves about incessantly in an unconscious way. It climbs the walls of its cage, hitting and even injuring itself. It shows no interest for its surroundings and seems to be suffering hallucinations as if it had visions.
Respiration is rapid.
The cat neither eats nor drinks. It is not frightened by anything. Its pupils are mydriatic. These experiments show that dolantin can induce madness in a cat, which is in accordance with its habit-forming potential in humans. We experimented finally with methadon.
