SUPPLEMENT: CASTOR. Authority.

3 , William Alexander, M.D., Exper. Essays, London, 1770, p. 83. [290.]

• I took a bolus of 10 grains of Castor, made with a little syrup of sugar. I felt no other effects than a few disagreeable eructations. The following day I took a bolus of 1/2 drachm of Castor; the only effect it had was the eructations, which were pretty much the same as in the last experiment. Two days after this I took 1 drachm. The mercury in the thermometer at my stomach, which before taking it stood at 91 1/2°, was in an hour after risen to 92 1/2°, where it continued till the thermometer was removed. The eructations were not so frequent, nor so disagreeable as in the former experiments. The two following days, I took two more boluses of Castor; the first containing 1 1/2 drachms, and the second 2 drachms. I was sensible of no other effect than the eructations, which, indeed, were but few and trifling. The pulse was not affected in any of the experiments, nor the temperature, except in the third experiment, 3.
