Authority.

78,
S. Thompson, Pub. Mass. Hom. Med. Soc., vol. iv, p. 641, a policeman
took 2 ounces Sulphur and molasses at one dose, for army-itch.

►

Within an hour he vomited, throwing
the most of it out. Within five hours a diarrhœa commenced, slight
nausea, painful griping and rumbling in the bowels. (I purpose to give
the gastric symptoms only). These symptoms continued till the morning of
the third day, when the diarrhœa became painless, and almost
involuntary. The stool was light-colored, watery, and lienteric. This
condition continued till the middle of the seventh day, when the
discharges of the bowels stopped, and were followed by symptoms in the
lungs and head, [78].
