This section is from the book "Introduction To Materia Medica And Pharmacology", by Oliver T.Osborne. See also: The Principles Of Therapeutics.
Chloral is used in the form of the hydrate.
It is irritant to the skin and mucous membranes, and is quickly absorbed from the latter.
It depresses the heart, quiets the brain, causing sleep, depresses the spinal cord, especially its motor activity, dulls the irritability of nerves, and causes death by paralysis of the central nervous system.
It is eliminated, principally, in the urine.
