formic and acetic acid and likewise ischeptoic acid.
- There are on record seven cases of poisoning.
- Two 
provings have been made by my self.
- Several of the poisoning 
cases are very meagre and of little value.
- “One teaspoonful of the oil, three drachms of the essence, seems to be almost a fatal dose in one case only 
was abortion produced and that from one ounce of the oil, followed by collapse and death.
- “The leading symptoms of the cases of poisoning are briefly: Vertigo.
- Dimness of vision.
- Dilated pupils.

- Complete relief was 
obtained after two doses.

irritation at the neck of the bladder, which caused frequent, intense desire to urinate and an inability to retain 
his urine for more than a few minutes.
- He always had marked relief on urinating.
- Urine retained in the bladder 
increased this irritation at the neck of the bladder and also caused an uneasy pain in the right testicle.
