58 Professor Halford. 



Result. No effect. 



3.10. One drachm of extract of belladonna was then 

 given. 



Result. The dog seemed to relish it. 



4. Dog drowsy ; staggers when walking ; began to 

 vomit ; afterwards, barking at objects supposed to be 

 on the walls, evidently delirium, as happens with man 

 after taking large doses of belladonna. 



5. The dog now remaining perfectly non-comatose ; 

 but with greatly dilated pupils, and still barking at 

 imaginary objects. I then gave him 15 grains of atro- 

 pine by the mouth, and, it producing no further effect, 

 injected another 15 grains beneath his skin, 



Result. No death, but perfect recovery 



COMMENT. 



I thought if I proceeded further I should not be able 

 to afford it. The atropine in Melbourne then cost 

 1 Is. a drachm, and the tincture and extract were 

 proportionately dear ; so I let the hardened sinner go 

 till another day, but in the meantime forgave him 

 and kept him.
