Nitrite of Amyl
Abstract
MR. GEORGE ABYARCH, of Cincinnati, asks of me through the columns of NATURE two questions concerning the nitrite of amyl, which I may briefly answer as follows:-(1) Nitrite of amyl has been used, and with considerable success, in the treatment of epilepsy, but its application can only be entrusted to a regular practitioner of medicine who understands its mode of action. (2) It has not as yet been proved to be of service in the treatment of paralysis.
