On the 17th tff October we ga*e a Dog 15 Grains of 
the dryed Root of Mon\f-Hood fNape tins'] powder’d, 
and mixt raith Fl6(h and Broth. He had no fboner 
taken it, but he was feized with a difficulty of fwallow- 
ing, or rather feemed as if he was like to be ftrangled. 
He immediately grew faint and refllefs, and dug the 
Ground with his Feet $ but foon deftfted, by reafon of 
a fainting-Fit, as we imagined from the dull colour of 
bis Eyes, and a weaknefs of all his Body. This Faint- 
ing was prefently fucceeded by a violent Vomiting, in 
which he threw up the Flefti that he had Eaten, which 
was very little alter’d. His Fainting foon returning a- 
gain, he laid himfelf on the Ground $ but being feized 
with terrib’e Convulfions of the Abdottfett, Diaphragtne, 
and of almoft the whole Body, he run from place to 
place, and vomited fo great a quantity of frothy Matter, 
that he was like to have been ftrangled. His Vomiting 
increafed, with a kind of crying and fobbing, like broken 
Sighs, as if he had endeavour’d to bark at thofe that 
flood by* ' In this ‘.manner he was miferably tormented 
for the fpace of an Hour 5 at which time all his Symp- 
toms remitted, and by degrees he recover’d. 
In the Summer before, we gave a little Dog a Drachm 
of the Root of Monks'Hood Napellm: ] He was foon 
after feized with the fame Symptoms, but they were 
longer and more violent 5 and he in like manner reco- 
ver’d. 
In both thefe Dogs we particularly took notice of 
thefe broken and interrupted Sighs, or'kind of fobbing 5 
becaufe we did not obferve the' like to be occafioned by 
any other Poifon that we had made Trial of.
