K. Abraham. Ueber Versuche mit “Veronal” bei Erregungszuständen der Paralytiker. (Centralblatt für Nervenheilkunde und Psychiatrie, 15 Marz 1904). Observation of the action of "veronal" in paralytics in the state of excitement

The author undertook observation of the action of Veronal in the Dalldorf hospital, near Berlin, for paralytics, among whom there were many restless and suffering from sleep disorders. Before that, in cases of insomnia, they came to the trional in hospitals and only when some patients did not succumb to his influence (which happens with any hypnoticum), they had to use other hypnotics. Since, with prolonged use of trional, its action weakens, and it tastes bitter, then, naturally, the ever-present desire of doctors was to find such a remedy that would be devoid of these negative qualities, and most importantly, would not have strong toxic properties.
