An  Antidote  to  Strychnia.— From  some  observations  of  Professor 
Cervello  ("Arch.  Scie.  Med.,  vol.  ii,  No.  1),  it  seems  that  paraldehyd  pos- 
sesses properties  antagonistic  to  strychnia.  Thirty-seven  and  a  half  grains 
of  the  former  completely  antagonized  T\  of  a  grain  of  nitrate  of  strychnia 
given  to  a  rabbit.  The  converse  action  does  not  seem  to  exist,  for  strychnia 
has  no  influence  on  paraldehyd  narcosis. — Med.  and  Surg.  Reporter.
