1838 January 14, “Különfélék”, in Vasárnapi Újság, volume 5, number 195:D. Robinzon azt mondá, hogy ezen gyógy mód nem régiben történetből fedeztetett-fel. Egy macska bejárt t. i. némi kémikus mühelyébe, mit az inasok megunván, megéteték kék savval, ’s mint döglöttet félre veték. Történetből azonban egy edény alá esett, mellyből csapon víz csorgott, ’s a’ macska lassanként fel-éledett. Ezen intést haszonra forditva, már több ízben emberen is segítettek vele.- D. Robinson said that this cure was recently discovered by accident. A cat had wandered into a chemist’s shop, and the servants, tired of it, poisoned it with prussic acid and threw it away as dead. By accident, however, it fell under a vessel, from which water dripped through a tap, and the cat slowly revived. This admonition was turned to good account and has been used to help humans on several occasions.
