titfc american lectures those people who
make frequent use of canphor as medi-
cine. 1t says: The physiological action
of camphOr is not yet understood; bat,
judging by the symptoms that follow tle
taking of a moderate dose, it may be
called nervous stimulant 1t is some
what like opium and alcohol, therefore, IN
its action, when given in small quaint
ties; but, when taken in large doses, it
causes excessive irritatioB to the nervous
system, producing convictions and death,
Camphor acts to irritate and congest, aad

all the good AMI evil of its use. We can,
therefore, readily see how unsuited this
drug is to be a household remedy.
