  10. On the Use of Amyl Nitrite in Angina Pectoris “As I believed the relief produced by the bleeding was due to the diminution it occasioned in the arterial tension, it occurred to me that a substance which possesses the power of lessening it in such an eminent degree as nitrite of amyl would probably produce the same effect…..On proceeding to try it on the wards…my hopes were completely fulfilled.” Thomas Lauder Brunton Lancet, 90:97-8 (1867)

  11. Nitroglycerine as a Remedy for Angina Pectoris William Murrell Lancet, 113:80 (1879)
