The second tracing thirteen minutes after the injection of pilocarpin shows a decided diminution of tension. The third tracing thirty-three minutes after the injection shows still greater diminution of tension. The fourth tracing in the evening, about nine hours after the injection, shows a return of the former condition as in the first figure. I noticed that simultaneous with the diminution of tension, and in exact proportion to it, was the domination of pain. This author has shown the most remarkable effect of Pilocarpin, administered subcutaneously in lead colic; the effect of which on the pulse is shown by the tracing annexed; corresponding to the control of the pulse by the Pilocarpin, was the relief of pain; this relief lasted only as long as the action of the drug was exhibited by the change in the pulse. The pulse is very evidently dicrotic to a degree inadequately represented by tracing 7. This gives a very good idea of the alteration of pulse which is characteristic of incipient lead poisoning. Renaut, pages 30 and 31 to. A very gradual full at the end of the pulsation; strongly marked elasticity elevation; relatively small recurrent elevation; in some cases a very remarkable bicuspid point at the apex of the first elevation, apparently caused by the increased vascular tone during the colic, Stool asserts that he noticed a tense, full, hard, and vibrating pulse, in workers in lead, who were otherwise healthy. We have observed nothing of the sort. On the contrary, we have remarked, in workmen obliged to inhale or swallow large amounts of lead, a small, slender, soft, and easily compressible pulse. In rare cases, along with these changes in the arterial circulation, a marked diminution of the pulse is observed; it goes down to 40 45, 50 or 55, having been 60 or 70 previous to exposure. This slowness of pulse occurs, with equal frequency, after the internal use of lead preparations. Pulse moderate, soft, and feeble. Pulse weak, thready, immediately. Pulse small and frequently.
