Reading notes
- The Wolf §45 pills of belladonna
Belladonna (deadly nightshade) preparations were a standard 19th-century pharmacological response to suspected rabies exposure, used for their anticonvulsant and sedative properties -- itself no cure, but the actual medical standard of care of the period, in contrast to Miron's folk remedy.
