First appearance of an importent paper in pharmacology as Balard here described his discovery of amyl nitrite and its preparation.Sir Thomas Lauder Brunton, a Scottish physician, later famously pioneered the use of amyl nitrite to treat angina pectoris. Brunton reasoned that the pain and discomfort of angina could be reduced by administering amyl nitrite to dilate the coronary arteries of patients, thus improving blood flow to the heart muscle.Garrison & Morton No 1859.
