Result. No narcotism was produced at any stage, 

 and the dog recovered perfectly.

A solution was made of one grain of m. acet. in ten 

 minims of distilled water. 



EXPERIMENT I. 



10.58. Twenty-five minims of the solution were 

 injected into the right jugular vein of a pup. 



11.1. He lies quite still; pupils dilated. Placed 

 on the floor, he lies quiet and his head droops. Easily 

 roused and made to walk. 



11.4. Slight loss of power in the hind limbs. 



1 1 . 6. Rapid breathing. 



11.8. Still easily roused, and pupils dilated. 



11.16. Barks as if in a dream. 



11.20. Slight contraction of the pupil. Drags his 

 hind legs more. 



11.23. Two drachms of the solution, equalling 

 twelve grains of the acetate, were injected beneath 

 the skin.

11.57. Half a drachm of acetate of morphia was 

 given by the mouth.
