Effects of Lithium Ion on Blood Alcohol Level in Rabbits

As the rationale of these treatments could not be established, most of these treatments are now considered useless or contraindicated. Since Cade, in 1949，made an astute observation of calming effects of lithium salts on guinea-pigs, renewed attention has been focused on the effects of lithium ion. In recent years it has been widely accepted that the lithium ion is an extremely promising and intriguing therapeutic agent in the treatment of mania and other psychotic excitements.
