SUPPLEMENT: CAPSICUM. Authority.

12 , Dr. Högyes, Archiv. fur Exper. Path. und Pharm., 9, 122, five hours after dinner I took in a capsule 0.1 cc.

In about ten minutes I experienced eructations, which at first were odorless, afterwards had a taste of pepper. At the same time there was a slight but no disagreeable sensation of warmth in the stomach, which extended through the œsophagus to the fauces, followed by frequent eructations, sensation of warmth amounting to slight heartburn, after which the eructations became burning. Later there were rumbling and flatus in the bowels. After an hour the symptoms the disappeared, the sensation of warmth in the epigastric region ceased. The next morning I had a rather soft stool which glimmered slightly, followed for a short time by burning warmth in the anus. An assistant took 0.2 cc. He experienced the same sensation of warmth in the epigastrium, finally becoming a violent burning, followed by inclination to vomit, and general sick feeling. After half an hour, violent rumbling in the bowels, with inclination to stool, relieved by emission of flatus, 12.
