Abstract
ConclusionsSeven cases are reported. Two with no disorders of muscular motility, two with muscular disorders dependent upon their psychoses and three as a result of organic nervous disease. Varying doses of bulbocapnine hydrochloride were exhibited subcutaneously without obtaining results such as reported by other observers.It must be recognized that in comparing results previous observers as well as ourselves were without a scale of response of normal healthy individuals of varying age, sex and weight which could be used as controls. Such comparisons moreover must consider the response to dosage and the variance in individual idiosyncrasy and the variable alteration of the neuro-muscular state. Considering such factors, therefore, we cannot in fairness compare our results with previous observations.
