To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The symptoms often simulate dysentery : the face at first is often flushed, the eyes sparkling ; soon the powers of life sink, the voice is lost, cold clammy sweats bedew the surface, perception of external objects is lost, and convulsions close the scene. When the substance is given in small doses, or if the mer- curial be a milder preparation, after dysenteric symptoms ptyalism supervenes ; the person may sink from the vio- lence of that affection, the fauces may become ulcerated, and gangren...e may ensue. If ptyalism follow the admi- nistration of a single large dose of mercurial, it is always to be regarded as a formidable symptom. When the per- son survives, he may suffer from mercurial palsy. Ptyalism may arise spontaneously, or from the exhibi- tion of various remedies, such as nitric acid, preparations of copper, antimony, digitalis. In these cases, it appears that the chief diagnostic is the absence of the peculiar foetor of the breath, which is constant in mercurial ptyalism. Mercurial ptyalism occasionally has intermissions, or con- siderable intervals, extending from a few days to six or seven months.
