-Camphor as Medicine.-The lScten
tifc american lectures those people who
make frequent use of camphor as a medi-
cine. 1t says: The physiological action
OF camphor is not yet understood; but,
judging by the symptoms that follow the
taking of 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 irritation to the nervous
system, producing commissions and death.
Camphor acts to irritate and congest, and
finally, to infiame the mucous lining of
the stomach, causing, in the milder cases,
form of dyspepsia, and, in the more ag-
gravated, liberation of the stomach.
From these two actions, namely, that of
nervous stimulant and local irritant come
all the good ard evil of its use. We can,
therefore, readily see how unsuited this
drug is to be a household remedy.
