    A variety of drugs from the 1920s are described including their effects, dosages, and uses.

    Chloral hydrate, codeine, and morphine are described for their sedative and pain relieving effects.

    Procaine (novocaine) is described as a local anesthetic used during surgery and dental procedures.

    The Doctor’s Bag – 1920s

    Chloral Hydrate
    Onset: 30-60 minutes Amount: 10x doses
    Duration: 4-9 hours qqqqqqqqqq

    Chloral Hydrate is better known as the chemical ingredient of a "Mickey Finn." It is a (relatively) fast
    acting sedative, administered orally as a sleeping drug. An excessive dose is dangerous; alcohol and other
    sedatives or narcotics might exacerbate its effects. This is probably the best thing to use if the
    investigators are going to be drugged by cultists (or vice-versa). It tastes bad, so it will be noticeable if
    administered covertly (ie via drugged food or drink) although a strongly flavored medium would probably
    disguise the taste.

    Codeine
    Onset: 30-60 minutes Amount: 20x doses
    Duration: 4-6 hours qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

    Codeine is a partially synthetic narcotic, injected as an analgesic (or pain killer). It is not as powerful as
    other opiates such as morphine or heroin, but still habit-forming if taken for a long time. It would be used
    to control light or moderate pain, rather than severe pain such as surgery.

    Epinephrine (Adrenalin)
    Onset: 5 minutes Amount: 10x doses
    Duration: up to 4 hours qqqqqqqqqq

    Epinephrine (better known as adrenalin) is a fast acting injected drug, primarily used to counteract
    cardiac arrest (heart attacks) (10 doses). It is also used to slow bleeding during surgery (5 doses), as it
    constricts blood vessels. It is also administered in combination with other drugs to prolong (2 doses)
    their effects.

    Morphine
    Onset: within 1 hour Amount: 10x doses
    Duration: 4 hours qqqqqqqqqq

    Morphine is a narcotic analgesic derived from opium. It is used to control severe pain, such as surgery.
    It may be injected or taken orally. Overdoses are dangerous, and morphine is addictive if taken for long
    periods.

    Phenobarbitol
    Onset: 30-60 min. orally, presumably faster if injected Amount: 10x doses
    Duration: 24-48 hours qqqqqqqqqq

    Phenobarbitol is a barbiturate, and therefore has a marked sedative effect, but it's principal use is in
    controlling epileptic seizures (5 doses), as it suppresses electrical activity in the brain. It may be injected
    or taken orally. It is dangerous in high doses.

    Procaine
    Onset: 10-15 minutes Amount: 20x doses
    Duration 40-60 minutes qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

    Procaine is better known by it's brand name, Novocaine. It is used as a local anaesthetic during surgery
    or dental procedures. It is injected, often in combination with epinephrine to prolong it's effect. If you've
    ever had a tooth drilled, this is probably what the dentist injected you with beforehand.
    Quinine
    Onset: 1-2 days Amount: 10x doses
    Duration: 7 days qqqqqqqqq

    Quinine is the only antimalarial drug available in the 1920s, and is therefore an essential part of an
    investigators kit if one is traveling in malaria-infested territory. It may be taken orally or injected, and is
    taken as a preventative against malarial infection (2x doses). At the high doses (5 doses) used to treat
    malaria, quinine causes ringing ears, headaches, nausea, and blurred vision. It commonly takes effect
    against the malaria in 1-2 days.

    Arsphenamine
    Preparation: 15 minutes Amount: 5x doses
    Duration: See text qqqqq

    A modern cure for syphilis. Also called by the trade name ‘Salvarsan’ and sometimes ‘606’ (because it
    was the sixth in the sixth group of compounds synthesized for testing). First used in 1910, it is distributed
    as a yellow, crystalline powder that is highly unstable in air. It is complicated to administer and as such
    is still not in widespread use. The drug must be dissolved in several hundred milliliters of distilled, sterile
    water with minimal exposure to air to produce a solution suitable for injection. Preparation will take 15
    minutes. The doctor rolls their medicine skill (HARD) to prepare the Arsphenamine successfully. To
    determine if the treatment is successful, a further medicine skill roll is made to which is added the
    patient’s CON (EXTREME). Failure will mean another treatment in a week. HARD failure will result in
    a side effect of rashes (-2D10 APP for 1d10 days); while an EXTREME failure may cause liver damage
    (2d6) and hospitalisation, and further EXTREME failure will occasion a loss of limb through blood
    poisoning. A third EXTREME failure will result in death. A more soluble (but slightly less effective)
    arsenical compound, Neosalvarsan (neoarsphenamine), is easier to prepare and has less severe side-
    effects (Failure results in vomiting and diarrhoea -1D10 CON). Both Salvarsan and Neosalvarsan have
    to be stored in sealed vials inside another jar filled with nitrogen to prevent oxidation. These arsenical
    compounds are supplanted as treatments for syphilis in the 1940s by penicillin.

    Tryarylmethane
    Application: Topical Amount: 20x doses
    Dosage: Daily qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq

    Also known as Crystal or Gentian Violet, it has antibacterial, antifungal, antitumor and anthelmintic
    (anti-parasitic) properties and is a topical antiseptic. It is also used for the treatment of burns. It has
    similar uses in the veterinary sciences, especially skin and eye infections. Assume one dose per wound
    inflicted. The non-use of this or any other antibacterial agent in any wound may lead to infection and
    sepsis (blood poisoning, gangrene). A CON check per wound should be made per separate wound if this
    treatment is NOT made. More difficult rolls can be instituted depending on circumstance. Failure will
    result in an additional HP damage per wound per day until loss of half HP after which fever claims the
    victim till a successful MEDICINE roll (HARD). Failure of this roll may result in the need for amputation
    if wound is on a limb (Keeper’s choice – MEDICINE roll [HARD]). If this roll is failed one more roll
    may be made (MEDICINE roll [EXTREME]). Failure results in death.
