Aconitin

A speedy return of the temperature to normal, a very marked diminution of the pain and improved conditions generally, appear coincident with the symptoms of full physiological effect of aconitin when given in cases of laminitis, which constitutes assuredly an important part of its treatment. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

The early and vigorous administration of aconitin in laminitis to its full physiological effect, is more logical. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

Furthermore, in laminitis there is an elevation of the temperature, an almost invariable indication for aconitin. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)

In this case, it not only proves to be aconitin but the starch granules themselves can be recognized. ❋ Unknown (1908)

As in the case of most of the poisonous alkaloids, aconitin does not produce any decidedly characteristic post-mortem appearances. ❋ Unknown (1908)

"I had an idea that it might be aconitin poisoning," he said. ❋ Unknown (1908)

Owing to its exceeding toxic nature, the smallness of the dose required to produce death, and the lack of tests for recognition, aconitin possesses rather more interest in legal medicine than most other poisons. ❋ Unknown (1908)

The dose of the active principle, aconitin nitrate, is about one six-hundredth of a grain. ❋ Unknown (1908)

Pure aconitin is probably the most actively poisonous substance with which we are acquainted and, if administered hypodermically, the alkaloid is even more powerfully poisonous than when taken by the mouth. ❋ Unknown (1908)

"Aconite," he answered slowly, "of which the active principle is the deadly poisonous alkaloid, aconitin." ❋ Unknown (1908)

According to Dupont, this hyperidrosis was independent of any other affection, and after having been combated fruitlessly by various remedies, yielded at last to fluid extract of aconitin. ❋ Unknown (1896)

Assuming that laminitis is due to absorption of harmful products from the intestinal tract permitted through the deranged functioning of the organs of digestion, or assuming that it is due to an extension of the inflammation from the mucosa to the sensitive lamina, or that it is a reflex from a sudden chilling of the skin, we have in any of these conditions a disturbed circulation, and aconitin is the first and foremost of circulation "equalizers." ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
