rally its effect is immediate.
OF the anor of landannm is inhaled with
the atmosphere into the lungs, would not the
effect be Immediate A.-Haye never known of
a case of stupefactioD from inhaling the vapor
| of laudanum- Have had 4 case of 4 boy seven
years old, who inhaled ether an hour before the
effect was produced.
elf the effect vas produced by inhaling
laudanum, would the effect be intermitted or
continuouss A.-Continuous

upon landanum inhaled A.-No, sir.
Q--yYhat do you think would be the effect
Va 'SSSa'@ "a. A.-Ohoouoteoiy the eject
would be injurious
Q--What is the common effect of lobelia tea?
A---Nauseating, emetic and rather prostrating
Q-What IS green tea prescribed for. Al
Its effect IS stimuiati9g-giTen to keep patient
awake.
Q-Had ron, at the time you were called to
the Guild, any doubt that the child had taken
laudanum? A.-Recollect little about the case
We generally have hocus-pocus stories in such
cases. This case made no impression on me-
Q--Does it make any difference in the con-
hnuance OF the effect whether produced by in
halation or in the stomach A.-Cannot an
swer decidedly. Generally, the effect of inhala-
ton is mere transitory. Taken into the stom-
ach, the substance is more slowly absorbed and
the effect is prolonged.
Q.-WhO called you at your last visit to Dr.
Bs3 A.-Don't know. The Doctor was there.
and pointed Mrs B. to me as my patient He

lively. She remarked something like this-that
the DE-, was ayerse to her having any more chill
dren; he fretted good deal about it and made
her very unhappy. Whether she told me that
her husband wanted her to resort to any means
! OF prevention, don't know, bnt it was my i'm
preston that he was in the plan.
| Nervous people will be glad to learn how. to
obtain quiet
.Direct.-Q.-Is it not common to have hop
pillows or poppy leaves to sleep on TO quiet the
nervesf A.-Ycs. sir, the hop pillows are used.
1t is partly for inhalation, and partly for the
effect of the resulting noise. Think the effect
OF laudanum absorbed through the pores ofskin
would be more hansitory than wien received
into stomach. Did Mrs. D. manifest any dissat-
istaction when you declined to prescribeg A.
She vas very pleasant through the interview

Iments.
