Synopsis

Excerpt from The Monthly Review, Vol. 4: From January to April Inclusive, 1827; With an Appendix

With such preliminary impressions as arise from what has been just mentioned, we proceed to state the testimony of this surgeon. He says, that in chronic complaints, or such as are of long standing, the seed was altogether powerless and of no effect, even in doses of considerable magnituden-whilst in fevers and disorders where any of the coats of the stomach or intestines are hurt, it may produce the worst symptoms. He then mentions a case in which the exhibition of white mustard seed was at tended with fatal consequences. Notwithstanding so much experience, our author was subsequently induced to make a personal trial of its men-ties, or, to use his own expression, to dive into its v essence. He it for three weeks, and whatever tendency it has at al was rather to eonsfipate than relax, to produce a sensation of fulness in the stomach, and to render a thousand degrees more ofi'ensive that which was sufliciently repulsive before. He adds, that the pores of the skin became the channels of an emuvium of the like disgusting odour. Determined to see the experimt out, the patient courageously increased the quantity.
