COMPARISON OF TABACUM AND LOBELIA



DR.G.STEVENS;Several years ago,I had quite a remarkable bit of success with a case of seasickness. A French woman told me that she was very violently ill, always, in crossing the ocean, and she had a cross it twice every summer. Her description of it was the prettiest picture of tobacco poisoning that one could have I remember especially her only relief was from the very cold open air,and Tabacum relieved her almost entirely. She could hardly believe it. The doctors who tried to treat her before could hardly believe that she could get so much relief from this.

DR.C.L.OLDS: I recall, a number of years ago, having a case of hay asthma, of which I now only reveal two of he symptoms. One of them was this increased a live dripping from this increased saliva dripping from the corners of the mouth,m and with that a sensation of rope about the diaphragm. Probably there were a good many other symptoms. one dose of lobelia stopped this asthma,and there were a good many other symptoms. One dose of Lobelia stopped this asthma, and their was no more of it during the entire season.

DR.B.C. WOODBURY:What potency?.

DR.C.L.OLDS: I do not remember. Probably it was 1M, or something of that sort.

DR.B.C.WOODBURY; I cab testify tot he antidotal effects of Ipecac in mild nicotine poisoning. I am not very much on smoking., I was practicing for some theatricals one and it was required that I smoke a pipe. I had never smoked a pipe very much, so I had to do some experimenting, i tried all the different lids of tobacco I could find. the only one mild enough has Prince Alert. In experimenting with the stronger tobacco I found that a dose of Ipecac immediately relieved the nausea.

DR.P.L.BENTHACK. It is my experience that tobacco affects the heart more than any other part of the human body. When a man comes into my office and says he doesn;t think anything is the matter with him but he is dizzy. I have found no other remedy as good as Tabacum, if he has been using much tobacco.

CHAIRMAN A.H.GRIMMER:What potency?.

DR.P.L.BENTHACK: From the 30th up.

DR.C.L.OLDS;I can quite agree with the doctor. Formerly I used a treat deal of tobacco. Occasionally I would get a very sharp pain in the region of he heart which almost took my breath away. I found by taking a dose of Tabacum 3M I would be free from that symptom for a number of months.

DR.D.T.PULFORD:There is one thing I would like to add. I notice that sometimes you experience a sense of empty well being from the effects of tobacco, after a good nights sleep and after the nausea had gone. The stomach feels quite hollow,but the general condition feels fine. It is a queer combination.
