Dr. Dujardin-Beaumetz, Bull. Gén. De Thérap., vol. xci, p. 8. Dr. S. took 15 centigrams of the crystallized Bromo-hydrate, representing 5 centigrams liquid Bromine and 8 centigrams Coniinum; the next day, at 7 A.M., took another dose.
After two hours I experienced vertigo, difficulty in intellectual work, and a state of cerebral emptiness, symptoms which attained their maximum about noon.

The trouble disappeared after coffee.
