In this niche there was an automatic loaded with six bullets, a box of cartridges, a key, and a tube of veronal. ❋ Simenon, Georges, 1903- (1963)

After the first week the aspirin and the veronal gave out and there was no "earthly chance" of getting more. ❋ Robert S. Carroll (N/A)

She wouldn't admit that she knew the flasks contained cocaine or veronal, but she did admit that her mistress had been addicted to the drug habit for several years. ❋ Sax Rohmer (1921)
