IV. The physiological action of the paraffinic nitrites considered in connexion with their chemical constitution. Part I. The action of the paraffinic nitrites on blood pressure

The present investigation was commenced three years ago, in order to throw further light on the mode of action; of the paraffinic nitrites when introduced into the animal organism, and particularly to determine in what manner this action is conditioned by the different chemical constitution of the various nitrites employed.
