Sleeping pill and sedative drug, also called barbital, medinal, or barbitone, discovered by chemist Emil Fischer and physician Josef von Mering in the early 20th century. In 1960 it was replaced by benzodiazepines due to its dangerous effects. Traveling by train, von Mering took a dose and reportedly woke up when he arrived in the Italian city of Verona.
