diately called, and antagonists given to mitigate and arrest the 
effect of the nitroglycerine, of which dynamite is largely com¬ 
posed. Three of the cows were saved. One was dead before the 
doctor arrived. The effects of nitro-glycerine upon the human 
and animal economy are something wonderful. Two or three 
drops of one per cent, solution is a full medicinal dose for a hu¬ 
man. Dynamite is a mixture of nitro-glycerine and some bulky 
substance, such as earth, sawdust, etc. The taste of nitro-glyc¬ 
erine is at first sweetish, followed by a not unpleasant pungency. 
In poisonous doses it very quickly produces, in animals, giddi¬ 
ness, staggering, headache, a violent and tremendous beating of 
the heart, followed by languor, dilation of pupils, rapid and weak 
pulse, coldness of extremities, twitching movements, hiccoughs, 
fainting, coma and death.—( Hillsboro , (9., Gazette.')
