calomel. At a Mackinac party in 1769 the guests, including some who
crashed the party, inbibed freely of a wine and brandy punch. When
Dr. Daniel Morison, one of the hosts, told them that he had put in four
ounces of jalap (a few grains was a good dose) some of the guests later
broke into his house and gave him a bad beating. Dr. Morison's "Narrative"
