urious as to
deserve mention. Confectionery, wall-paper, dyes, and the like are
examples. In other cases we note money-counting, the colored candles of
a Christmas tree, paper collars, ball-wreaths of artificial flowers,
ball-dresses made of green tarlatan, playing cards, hat-lining, and
fly-papers.

Bazin has reported a case in which erythematous pustules appeared after
the exhibition during fifteen days of the 5/6 gr. of arsenic. Macnal
speaks of an eruption similar to that of measles in a patient to whom
he had given but three drops of Fowler's solution for the short period
of three days. Pareira says that in a gouty patient for whom he
prescribed 1/6 gr. of potassium arseniate daily, on the third day there
appeared a bright red eruption of the face, neck, upper part of the
trunk and flexor surfaces of the joints, and an edematous condition of
the eyelids. The symptoms were preceded by restlessness, headache, and
heat of the skin, and subsided gradually after the second or third day,
desquamation continuing for nearly two months. After they had subsided
entirely, the exhibition of arsenic again aroused them, and this time
they were accompanied by salivation. Charcot and other French authors
have noticed the frequent occurrence of suspension of the sexual
instinct during the administration of Fowler's solution. Jackson speaks
of recovery after the ingestion of two ounces of arsenic by the early
employment of an emetic. Walsh reports a case in which 600 gr. of
arsenic were taken without injury. The remarkable tolerance of arsenic
eaters is well known. Taylor asserts that the smallest lethal dose of
arsenic has been two gr., but Tardieu mentions an instance in which ten
cgm. (1 1/2 gr.) has caused death. Mackenzie speaks of a man who
swallowed a large quantity of arsenic in lumps, and received no
treatment for sixteen hours, but recovered. It is added that from two
masses passed by the anus 105 gr. of arsenic were obtained.

In speaking of the tolerance of belladonna, in 1859 Fuller mentioned a
child of fourteen who in eighteen days took 37 grains of atropin; a
child of ten who took seven grains of extract of belladonna daily, or
more than two ounces in twenty-six days; and a man who took 64 grains
of the extract of belladonna daily, and from whose urine enough atropin
was extracted to kill two white mice and to narcotize two others. Bader
has observed grave symptoms following the employment of a vaginal
suppository
