A quote from Clinical Pharmacology by D. R. Lawrence. Describing use of Dovers Powder. That is, opium with some ipecac to make you vomit it up if too much ingested. He administered 2 to 4 grams in a white wine Posset of which he advised the patient to drink a further 2 to 4 pints. Nowadays 0.3 grams is considered sufficient, and no Posset Then on morphine and animals. There is no doubt that morphine excites cats and horses, though it is illegal to put this to practical use in horse racing; cats dont race though they could. Why arent more text books this much fun. Amused me anyway.
