Note 2 — APPENDIX 6: PHYSIOLOGY OF PEYOTE

Kobert, Lehrbuch, 1008-1009; Rouhier, op. cit., 227; Henry (T. A.), The Plant Alkaloids, 199: Dixon (W. E.), The Physiological Action, 71. Rouhier (op. cit., 228, 231) places peyotline in the strychnine group; it has a narcotic and tetanic effect on animals, to be sure, but in man, according to Jolly, it causes slight hypnosis, but no anaesthesia. Schmiedeberg puts it in the morphine group, which we have followed (cf. Kobert, Lehrbuch, 1009).
