He believed that small doses of strychnine would stimulate the nervous system while being insufficient to cause the death of the patient by poisoning. His treatment gained some acceptance in the general community but was widely condemned in the medical profession. He was received several prizes for his work as a vigneron. Mueller, A (1812-18881231)
