I'm familiar with chloroform, but I had to look up aconite: Aconite is a cardiotoxin and neurotoxin. I guess that will help with rheumatism via a trip to see St Peter.
Aconite (aconotine is the active component) is an alkaloid similar to veratridine (which I published papers on in the 1970s while I was at Columbia), in that it holds open sodium channels on neurons. Since it crosses the blood brain barrier it has CNS effects as well as peripheral. Opening sodium channels causes hyperexcitability.
The Sulo Ylonen accident was a real tragedy. He was a friend of my father's, and I thought brother of Leo Ylonen who was the father of my neighbor Beatrice who married Fred Gove.

He's not mentioned in the obit.
