Found a caution that Chloral Hydrate should not be taken for more than 2 weeks. Classified as an hpnotic.

Also found out that vomiting, the runs (flu symptoms) etc. are side effects of the drug.

What I'll never understand is Perper saying she couldn't have been forced (murder) to take it. We know she was taking it and willingly. His statement makes absolutely no sense.

Hynotic: Makes me think about Goen. Believe he's into that.

The fact remains: Perper has not satisfied the "How did Anna manage to get the chloral hydrate...wherever it was...without Howard knowing".

It would have hit Anna so fast in her weakened condition, she'd never be able to swig it "neatly", screw the cap back on, put it in its' place and return to her bed. Remember, she weighs 170 lbs. There should have been siliva on the cap. I can't find any indication that she took it "straight". I believe it actually "burns" and Perper said it tasted awful. Sorry charlie...it's illogical.
