Abstract
VI. Experimentation with Nitrite of Amyl.
IN the progress of scientific therapeutics no addition to the curative resources of medicine has of late attracted more attention than the nitrite of amyl. This agent is now one of the useful agents in the hands of the physician, and, what is most to the purpose, it is one of the most useful for relieving the cruellest and painfullest diseases. The discovery of the properties it possesses resulted in the purest way from experimental study, the record of which I am entitled to write as the one who introduced the agent into medicine, defined its mode of action, and thereby determined its place in the lists of curative chemical substances.
