Explanation

Veronal (barbital) is a barbiturate drug that acts as a sedative, depressing the central nervous system to produce calming effects and induce sleep. It is not an anesthetic (which causes complete loss of sensation), antiseptic (which kills microbes), or antihistaminic (which blocks histamine receptors).
