minutes ;  pulse  reduction,  8  beats. 
Official  Tincture. — Primary  effect  in  15  minutes,  full  effect  in  60 
minutes;  pulse  reduction,  10  beats.  This  is  the  only  case  in  which 
primary  effect  took  place  in  15  minutes  with  the  official  tincture, 
and  as  the  patient  was  in  an  especially  quiescent  state  preparatory 
to  sleeping,  the  tincture  had  less  work  to  do  than  usual,  and  did  it 
more  quickly.  The  marked  reduction  of  pulse  beats  is  due  to  the 
same  cause. 
Case  10. — Male  patient,  tinctures  given  by  moutJi,  doses  10 
minims.
