A perfon by miilake took two drams or a little more of powdered Nutmeg : he 

 felt it warm in his ftomach, without any uneafinefs; but in about an hour after he had 

 taken it he was feized with a drowfmefs, which gradually increafed to a complete ftupor 

 and infenfibility ; and not long after he was found fallen from his chair, lying on the 

 floor of his chamber in the ftate mentioned. Being laid a-bed he fell afleep j but waking 

 a little from time to time, he was quite delirious : and he thus continued alternately 

 fleeping and delirious for feveral hours. By degrees, however, both thefe fymptoms 

 diininiihed, fo that in about fix hours from the time of taking the Nutmeg he was pretty 

 well recovered from'both. Although he flill complained of head-achj and fome drov/ 

 finefs, he flept naturally and quietly the following night, and next day was quite in his 

 Oi'dinary health." Mat. Med. vol. ii. p. 20^. ' \
