General symptoms

After a quarter of an hour she was completely out of her mind, was dizzy, sleepy;at last fell into a sleep, in which the eyes remained more or less open, and if disturbed she sprang up raving, and uttered unintelligible words; if one sang she began to dance in the Japanese fashion. Pulse was slow and full. Mouth very dry. Buchner’s Toxicologie, 1827, states that if the lips are held for a short time to a glass rubbed with a leaf, one is made to rave. Gmelin, Reise, etc., state that beer poisoned with the seeds of this plant causes ravings.
