Kaolinum

The effects of Kerosol. have been observed on workmen, and also

experiments have been made with it for the purpose of testing its anesthetic properties. It causes

a pleasurable kind of intoxication, but too much muscular rigidity, asphyxia, and intermittent

pulse to render it a safe anzesthetic. Laughter was noticed in two cases, and this should prove an

indication in some kinds of delirium and insanity. The symptoms are > in open air.

On breathing the vapour one seems to float away into a wavy maze with a sense of

complete loneliness; there seems but one object in the universe, oneself; on recovery, the first

object seen seems the only other object.—Laughed (after tooth extraction) and only felt he had

had a pleasant dream.—Lost himself, but was inclined to laugh and would not keep still.

Spasm with pains.—Violent pain lasting a week (soon).—Partial

paralysis.—Heat-an¢sthesia; when warm water was applied he did not feel any warmth from

it.—Violent spasms and convulsions of whole body, arms and legs stretched violently and rigidly

out.—Permanent rigid distortion.
