A queer case is reported in the Hos

called to see a patient dying from chol-

man, the doctor prescribed three doses
of ipecac powder, to be given every
half hour. The nurse misunderstood
the directions, and instead of giving the
drug by the mouth gave it as snuff;
this produced violent sneezing, which
was followed by favorable reaction.
The circulation was quickened, the skin
was warmed, and the patient was on
the way to recovery. When the doctor
called, next day, he was amazed to find
how he had taken his medicine, and
that he was out of danger.
