This paper describes the use of brandy and other forms of alcohol in the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its prime use was as a cardiac stimulant as it seemed to increase the cardiac output and blood pressure. However it was also recognised as a depressant and was used as a sedative. Reconciling these two actions caused difficulties. In addition it was used as a food for invalids.
本文描述了白兰地和其他形式的酒精在 19 世纪末和 20 世纪初的使用情况。其主要用途是作为一种心脏兴奋剂，因为它似乎能增加心输出量和血压。然而，它也被认为是一种抑制剂，并被用作镇静剂。调和这两种作用引起了困难。此外，它还被用作病人的食物。
