1. On the Connection between Chemical Constitution and Physiological Action—Continued. On the Physiological Action of the Salts of Trimethylsulphin

Extract

In the former parts of this investigation we studied the physiological action of the salts of a considerable number of ammonium bases—that is, of the salts formed by the union of an ether with the nitride of one or more alcohol radicals. Thus—

The examination of the physiological action of such salts proved that, while differing from one another in many respects, there are two points in which they agree—they all paralyse the end-organs of the motor nerves, and none of them possess that stimulating action of the spinal cord which we observe in such a substance as strychnia.
