Excerpt from The Old Vegetable Neurotics, Hemlock, Opium, Belladonna and Henbane: Their Physiological Action and Therapeutical Use Alone and in Combination, Being the Gulstonian Lectures of 1868, Extended and Including a Complete Examination of the Active Constituents of Opium Much time and labour has been expended in laying before the reader observations followed throughout from the beginning to the end of the action of a given dose; and my first endeavour has been to present to the mind, not only the particular effects in the order of their sequence, but also those more general features which convey, as well as imperfect words may do, impressions of the actual condition of the individual subjected to the influence of the drug.

Parkinsonism of various types has long been a debilitating and cruel affliction for significant numbers of people, and even today the cure remains elusive. The present volume explores the colorful and sometimes alarming history of the attempts to provide at least some relief from the symptoms of this disorder, commencing with interesting reports from ancient India and medieval Europe and continuing until the present time. Especial attention is devoted to L-DOPA therapy, still the leading pharmacological approach to the disorder more than forty years after its first application, and its place in the development of neurochemistry. But the employment of solanaceous plant alkaloid-based therapies, which dominated antiparkinsonian therapy until the mid-20th century, and the broad range of other approaches which found varying degrees of popularity, including those stimulated by the encephalitis epidemic which appeared in Europe during the First World War, are also discussed. The author concludes that antiparkinsonian therapy was never 'irrational', but was rather always determined by prevailing medical, pharmacological and scientific paradigms, so that its history is inextricably linked with experimental and clinical developments in these fields.
