Introduction

Ilex Paraguayensis, D. C. (Ilex Mate, Aug. St. Hilaire; Psorulea glandulosa, Linn) Natural order: Ilicineae. Preparation: Tincture of leaves.

Mind

State of satisfaction and contentment with everything, without, any delirium. Feeling of calmness and comfort; happy and pleased with all the world; remained several hours tranquil and motionless on my bed, occupied with a throng of pleasant thoughts, but unable to sleep, though without the malaise which generally accompanies wakefulness (after fifteen minutes). Acts especially on the intellect.

Head

Slight headache (after a few minutes).

Stomach

Quite painful cramps in the stomach (after a few minutes). A peculiar, quite specific, but indefinable, sort of gastric irritation;more than any other similar beverage, it is apt to disturb digestion when taken after a meal; but few stomachs can bear it well.

Abdomen

Borborygmi (after a few minutes). Tension of the abdomen (after a few minutes).

Stool

Promotes the peristaltic action of the bowels; removes constipation.

Respiratory Organs

Respiration quickened. Considerable acceleration of respiration.

Heart and Pulse

Acts more strongly on the heart than any other similar beverage. The sphygmographic tracings show an accelerated action of the heart, wider oscillations, and diminished arterial tension. Considerable acceleration of pulse.

General Symptoms

General hyperaesthesia. Removes weariness, and disposes to exertion. Violent excitement (after a few minutes).

Sleep

The state of mental activity was at last succeeded by a peaceful slumber, from which I woke next morning without the slightest headache or sense of depression.

Fever

Bodily temperature lowered. Cold feeling in the extremities and lumbar region (after a few minutes).
