  before 
  and 
  ooy 
  (30,000 
  ohms) 
  after 
  the 
  inhalation 
  as 
  is 
  shown 
  by 
  the 
  

   record 
  (No. 
  291). 
  

  

  The 
  sudden 
  augmentation 
  of 
  conductance, 
  subsiding 
  gradually 
  to 
  its 
  normal 
  

   level 
  in 
  3 
  to 
  4 
  minutes, 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  excitant 
  action 
  of 
  chloroform. 
  The 
  

   amount 
  of 
  vapour 
  that 
  was 
  absorbed 
  during 
  the 
  half 
  minute 
  may 
  be 
  estimated 
  

   as 
  having 
  been 
  approximately 
  200 
  c.c. 
  or 
  1 
  c.c. 
  liquid 
  or 
  1*5 
  grm. 
  This 
  

   amount 
  according 
  to 
  my 
  previous 
  estimations 
  is 
  physiologically 
  equivalent 
  to 
  

   60 
  grm. 
  of 
  ethyl 
  alcohol 
  which 
  might 
  be 
  contained 
  in 
  say 
  250 
  c.c. 
  of 
  whisky. 
  

   The 
  toxic 
  value 
  of 
  the 
  reagent 
  used 
  has 
  thus 
  been 
  about 
  five 
  times 
  as 
  great 
  in 
  

   the 
  second 
  experiment 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  the 
  results 
  have 
  been 
  in 
  corre- 
  

   spondence 
  with 
  this 
  difference. 
  

  

  Experiment

  Morphia. 
  — 
  G. 
  de 
  D., 
  aged 
  25, 
  received 
  a 
  hypodermic 
  injection 
  

   of 
  morphia 
  hydrochloride 
  (0 
  - 
  016 
  grm.) 
  in 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  a 
  prolonged 
  sitting 
  

   during 
  which 
  she 
  had 
  been 
  subjected 
  to 
  considerable 
  excitement. 
  Her 
  hand 
  

   conductance 
  had 
  thereby 
  been 
  raised 
  above 
  normal, 
  standing 
  at 
  160 
  y 
  (6,250 
  

   ohms) 
  in 
  place 
  of 
  her 
  normal 
  which 
  is 
  5O7 
  (20,000 
  ohms)
