5FoS: Tranquilizers pt. II

Thanks to the fantastic reference librarians, I was able to find out what they used for tranquilizers around 1900. I'm mulling over two options.

1. Chloral Hydrate

and

2. Curare

With the curare, I'd have to make some sort of artifical respirator to use on the victim, which could be cool. Chloral Hydrate would probably be a better choice from a "what would they really be using?" standpoint, though.
