    particularly belladonna and nux vomica (or tlieir alkaloids), are useful as adjuvants to the bromide treatment, and should not be neglected. In the year 1882, guided by the well-known efficacy of chloral hydrate in eclampsia of adults or children, and in status epilepticus, I began incorporating some of this drug with the bromides, substituting a certain amount of chloral for a like amount of bromide. I adopted two formulas on the same plan as my simple bromide solutions, viz. : (1) A weaker solution : Apothecaries^ Weight. ^ Chlorali 3 ij; Sodii brouiidi. 3 x ; Aqufe 3 vij. Metric Weight. I^ Chloral 7-50; Sodium bromide 37*50 ; Water 200-00. One teaspoonful of this solution contains about three grains of chloral and twelve grains of bromide. (2) A stronger solution : Apothecaries' Weight. IJ Chlorali 3 ^s.; Sodii bromidi. 3 j; Aqupe >. . 3 vij. Metric Weight. IJ Chloral . 15-00; Sodium bromide 30-00 ; Water 200-00. Each teaspoonful contains, approximately, 5 grains of cliloral and 10 grains of sodium bromide ^15 grains (1*00) of anti-convulsive drugs. I have been credited, through a friendly mistake, with
